News Sarah J. Maas New Court of Thorns and Roses Books Get Release Dates as Sarah J. Maas Shares Adaptation Update The wait is almost over By Molly Templeton | Published on March 5, 2026 Screenshot: Call Her Daddy/YouTube Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Call Her Daddy/YouTube Bestselling author Sarah J. Maas’s appearance on the podcast Call Her Daddy begins with a lovefest—Maas and host Alex Cooper trading compliments and gushing—but their conversation eventually gets down to details. And those details include adaptations, which have yet to come to pass for Maas’s work. A Throne of Glass series adaptation never came to pass, and the announced adaptation of the Thorns and Roses books was such a big deal, potentially, that it made news when the series was “officially scrapped” last year. But Maas is in control now. “I have the rights back to everything now,” she told Cooper. And if an adaptation happens, Maas wants to do it her way: And it’s something that I want to be in charge of, I want to be figuring out, I want to be learning everything that I can. I’m a Type A control freak a little bit, but I want to know everything about how it gets made, not because of that control, but just because I love movies. 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 I know fans want it. It is very uncommon for authors to have the level of adaptation control that Maas seeks. “So when I do it,” she says, “it’s gonna be me, and I will dedicate everything that I have to making it right. But I’ll be in there, looking at all the design. But also like, ‘What does it sound like?’ because music plays such a big part.” The most recent installment in the ACOTAR series, A Court of Silver Flames, was published in 2021, meaning fans have had a fairly long wait for the next book (though Maas published two novels in her Crescent City series in the meantime). Maas had good news on that front, though: the next book will arrive later this year. The sixth ACOTAR volume has a pub date of October 27, 2026, and the seventh will follow hot on its heels, arriving January 12, 2027. Perhaps more adaptation news will come along before then. Or perhaps not.[end-mark] The post New Court of Thorns and Roses Books Get Release Dates as Sarah J. Maas Shares Adaptation Update appeared first on Reactor.
