While I feel like the fantasy/circus vibe of the Caraval series was very on-trend in the early 2010s, this quickly dropped off in popularity, which could be why the Caraval adaptation never got the full green light. So, though this seems like it would have been a great fit for the producer, it was just not the time for Caraval to make its screen debut. Pouya Shahbazian is also a producer on many other YA film adaptations, such as Love, Simon, Shadow and Bone, and is also producing the upcoming adaptation of The Selection series.

The movie adaptation was announced with the producer Pouya Shahbazian, who also produced the Divergent movies. This was the original title of the first novel in the Caraval series that would later be changed to Caraval. The buzz around Caraval being turned into a movie began in the summer of 2015, with the movie version of this fantasy story being titled Hearts Made of Black. Well, it’s a tricky question to answer, but let’s break down what we do know about it, and what the future for a Caraval adaptation could look like!įirst off, there has not been any news of a Caraval movie adaptation since 2015 other than Stephanie Garber confirming that 20th Century Fox does still have the rights to the Caraval series. I know many Stephanie Garber stans are in a constant state of asking, “What’s up with the Caraval movie adaptation?”
