"I have the rights back to everything now. And getting the rights back to all my things has been a big part of my journey in recent years. I look at any TV or movie adaptation as another facet of the worlds I've created, and it's something I want to be in charge of."
"I love TV, I want to be a part of that, and I want to see everything adapted the way I envision it and the way fans envision it."
Sarah J. Maas has regained ownership of her intellectual property rights, enabling her to maintain creative control over any television or film adaptations of A Court of Thorns and Roses. She views adaptations as extensions of her created worlds and prioritizes being involved in their development. This strategy mirrors approaches taken by Taylor Swift and Colleen Hoover, who sought greater creative authority after negative adaptation experiences. Hoover's involvement with It Ends With Us reportedly caused her distress, prompting her to establish her own production company for subsequent projects. Maas is currently completing the ACOTAR series, with the sixth book releasing in October and the seventh in January 2027. Following the series conclusion, she intends to focus on television adaptations aligned with her vision and fan expectations.
