Margot Robbie is not only a big name in Hollywood, but she is also a devoted fan of fantasy romance novels. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the actress and producer confessed her deep love for Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses series, stating that she has read the books countless times. Robbie’s admiration for the ACOTAR books is well-known among fans, especially after a photo of her enjoying coffee with Maas went viral earlier this year, sparking discussions on social media. The two have since developed a friendship, with Robbie praising Maas’s coolness and discussing her favorite parts of the series during their conversations.
During her chat with Harper’s Bazaar, Robbie expressed her beyond obsession with the ACOTAR series, highlighting Maas’s genius and coolness. The actress mentioned that she and Maas have become friends, emphasizing the connection she feels with the author. But what really got BookTok buzzing was Robbie’s response when asked about a potential screen adaptation of ACOTAR. Despite years of development limbo, Robbie didn’t rule out the possibility, stating that the world needs it and hinting at taking action herself.
While a television adaptation of ACOTAR was previously in the works at Hulu in collaboration with Ronald D. Moore, the project is no longer in development as of February 2025. Disney’s 20th Television held the rights to the project until late summer 2025, after which Maas was reportedly exploring options with other studios and platforms. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the adaptation, Robbie remains engrossed in the world of ACOTAR through reading, keeping fans hopeful for a potential Hollywood transformation supported by one of the industry’s most influential producers.
Without giving into cliches or generic praise, Robbie’s genuine appreciation for the ACOTAR series and her budding friendship with Maas offer a refreshing perspective on the intersection of popular culture and personal interest. As the possibility of a screen adaptation lingers in the air, Robbie’s involvement could be the twist fans have been waiting for.
