Release of Divergent: Ascendant [closed]

Is there any definitive knowledge on whether the 4th Divergent movie (Divergent: Ascendant) is going to be released? I have heard that it was shelved, and I have also heard that it is going to be released as a TV movie to wrap up the book series (as a part 2 of Allegiant).

Note: In response to a comment,

... a title's release date or rumors about a specific title or series are specifically off-topic for M&TV

I am not after a release date or rumours. I am after definitive knowledge based on what the movie producers have said in any interviews etc.

Best Answer

The movie has officially been cancelled, due to the seriously poor responses from critics and box-office of the third one.

It was announced the follow-up would be as a TV Show to close the story, but Shailene Woodley (actress of Beatrice) quit the project because "she did not sign up for a TV Show."

All in all, both the Movie and the TV Show have been cancelled for now.
