Big news for romantasy fans.

Author Sarah J. Maas has officially confirmed that new books in the wildly popular A Court of Thorns and Roses series are on the way. After years of speculation and fan theories, readers finally have release windows for the next chapters of the beloved fantasy saga.

Even better — multiple books are coming.

📚 New ACOTAR Books Are Officially Coming

The next installments in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series have been confirmed with the following release schedule:

Book 6 — October 27, 2026
Book 7 — January 12, 2027

Pre-orders are already appearing across major retailers, and fans have quickly begun preparing for the return to Prythian.

Major details like titles, cover art, and full plot summaries have not yet been revealed, but more information is expected soon.

🌹 A Series That Helped Define the Romantasy Boom

Since the release of the first book in 2015, the ACOTAR series has become one of the defining pillars of the romantic fantasy (romantasy) genre.

The story begins with Feyre Archeron, a hunter whose life changes after she kills a faerie wolf and is taken to the magical lands of Prythian. What follows is a sweeping saga filled with:

Powerful fae courts
Dangerous magic
Political intrigue
Epic battles
And unforgettable romances

In recent years, the series exploded in popularity thanks to BookTok and online fan communities, becoming a global phenomenon with cosplay, merchandise, fan art, and millions of readers worldwide.

🧩 The Next Books Are One Massive Story

During a recent podcast appearance, Maas revealed something surprising:

The upcoming storyline became so large that it had to be split across multiple books.

Originally written as one huge narrative, the story will now unfold across:

Book 6
Book 7
Book 8 (currently being written)

According to Maas, the books should be viewed as one continuous story, rather than separate standalone entries.

The first portion alone reportedly reached around 400 pages before editing.

🔮 What Could Happen Next?

While the official plot is still secret, longtime readers have plenty of theories.

Many fans believe the upcoming books could focus on Elain Archeron, the third Archeron sister. If that turns out to be true, the story may explore:

Her mysterious abilities
Her complicated bond with Lucien
Her growing connection with Azriel

Another storyline fans are eager to see explored involves Mor’s hidden powers, which Maas has hinted will finally be revealed.

There has even been speculation about a possible redemption arc for Tamlin, though the author has said any exploration of that storyline would be handled carefully.

📺 What Happened to the ACOTAR TV Series?

Fans may remember that a television adaptation of A Court of Thorns and Roses was previously in development.

The project was originally planned for Hulu, but the adaptation has since been shelved. The good news is that Maas now has the rights back to the series, which means a future adaptation could still happen.

If a new version moves forward, Maas has expressed interest in being closely involved in the creative process to ensure the story is adapted the way fans imagine it.
