''Divided for Adaptation'', as the name suggests, is when the source material is a single work, but its adaptation is split into multiple pieces.

I felt that if was too restrictive with just the final book split into movies, so I call for expanding it to standalone books, a Doorstoper, or a book adapted into other media. Also, Administrivia/NeedsABetterDescription.

So you're watching {{the film of the book}} in a series, content in the fact that the whole movie adapts the whole book like the other ones. But then there is a CliffHanger ending. You read the source material to find that the book continues beyond that point. What happened?
Well, TheFilmOfTheBook was split in half.
It's becoming a common trend to see cinema or TV adaptions of a novel in a book series be split in two, and likely if said book is a {{Doorstopper}}, or the final book showcasing the GrandFinale. ExecutiveMeddling can be a major reason this happens (particularly to popular book-to-movie series). Chances of AdaptationExpansion and/or {{Filler}} can also occur.
Also see GeckoEnding where an adaption ends just short of the source material ending and the adaptation has to WrapItUp.
SubTrope of DividedForPublication and MovieMultipack.
Contrast the opposite CompressedAdaptation.
