Shailene Woodley from Divergent, smiling in front the Netflix symbol and dollar bills floating in the wind
The dystopian Uglies, which can serve as a replacement for Divergent, is now streaming on Netflix. Uglies is adapted from the 2005 novel of the same name by Scott Westerfeld and is the beginning of a larger book series. A film adaptation was first confirmed to be in the works in 2006, yet the project spent the next 14 years in development hell, before going back into development in 2020, with Joey King leading Uglies' cast as the protagonist, Tally Youngblood.
Netflix's Uglies Is Now Streaming – How The Movie & Story Compare To Divergent They Share Many Similarities Close While Divergent was not published until 2011, it has numerous parallels to Uglies, with many of the parallels being hallmarks of most young adult dystopian stories. In Divergent, society is split into five factions, with all citizens undergoing a test at the age of sixteen that determines which faction fits them best.
Divergent's protagonist, Beatrice"Tris" Prior, begins to question her society after the test proves that she does not belong to a single faction, while Uglies' Tally questions her society after being informed she will never become a Pretty unless she finds her missing friend, Shay, and where the Smokies reside. Tris and Tally's initial questions gradually develop into being part of full-blown rebellions against their respective oppressive governments.
