Maas' fantasy series are eagerly awaiting a title or timeline for the next installment.

As the third Crescent City book came out in January 2024, there should be news about the sixth ACOTAR book sometime in the near future. Maas tends to release a new book every year or two, so a late 2025 or early 2026 release would fit with her typical schedule. But even if there's a longer wait for the coming sequel, it would make sense for Maas to share more details this spring. May marks a big anniversary for ACOTAR, and news about book six would be a great way to celebrate.

A Court Of Thorns & Roses Celebrates Its 10th Anniversary In May 2025

The First Book In Sarah J. Maas Series Came Out in 2015

A Court of Thorns & Roses celebrates its 10th anniversary in May, as the first installment of Maas' series came out on May 5, 2015. It's hard to believe ACOTAR has been around so long, as it remains one of the most popular books on BookTok — and the series is still discussed frequently, despite only one book coming out since 2019. There's little doubt that ACOTAR will go down as one of the biggest modern fantasy series, so it's worth commemorating its beginning in a big way.

There's an even more exciting way that Maas and the publisher could ring in A Court of Thorns & Roses' 10th anniversary, setting up another decade of storytelling.

Bloomsbury is releasing the Night Court editions of ACOTAR on April 29, so that gives readers one way to honor the series' big milestone. However, there's an even more exciting way that Maas and the publisher could ring in A Court of Thorns & Roses' 10th anniversary, setting up another decade of storytelling in the process.

Announcing the sixth Court of Thorns & Roses book on the first one's 10th anniversary would prove a great way to celebrate the series and the readers who have stuck with it. It would also be a memorable way to herald more ACOTAR releases over the next decade. Maas has already discussed plans for at least two more installments in the series, and additional crossovers seem likely on the heels of Crescent City and given Maas' four-book deal with Bloomsbury.

There are several wild theories about A Court of Thorns and Roses & there are a few great ones I really hope are proven right in the next ACOTAR book.

With news about Hulu's ACOTAR TV show and the sixth book so sparse, receiving new details about either would be a welcome development on the first book's anniversary. The latter seems more likely, and it would give romantasy readers something to look forward to, especially given the lengthy wait for the next Empyrean Series book. Plus, it's high time for a new Court of Thorns & Roses novel, as A Court of Silver Flames left plenty to expand on.
