While at Comic-Con, he told Entertainment Weekly that because he “left Disney and [has] returned to Sony,” he is “no longer working on” the show, which is “a project that was at 20th Century Television and Disney.”

“I had worked on it for a while but it was still in development, as they say, when I left,” he went on to say. “So I don’t know what the status is anymore.”

The five-book series (which is still ongoing) tells the story of 19-year-old Feyre Archeron, who finds herself ensconced in the faerie world after she kills a wolf while hunting to feed her family, via People.

The first four books — A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin and A Court of Frost and Starlight — focus on Feyre’s story, while the fifth, A Court of Silver Flames, focuses on her older sister Nesta. There is a sixth book in the works, but there are little details about what to expect.
