LOS ANGELES, June 4 (UPI) -- Jamie Dornan isn't signed on for Fifty Shades of Grey spinoffs.

Fifty Shades author E.L. James recently announced she will release the spinoff novel, Grey, on June 18. Sources told The Hollywood Reporter Universal owns the rights to adapt the book, but did not include details for such a project in Dornan and co-star Dakota Johnson's contracts.

Fifty Shades of Grey follows the relationship between college student Anastasia Steele (Johnson) and Christian Grey (Dornan), a young businessman with a predilection for BDSM. The movie adaptation opened in February, and earned over $569 million at the box office.

Fifty Shades Darker is scheduled for release in Feb. 2017, and debuted a first teaser trailer in April. Fifty Shades Freed will follow in Feb. 2018, but Fifty Shades of Grey director Sam Taylor-Johnson will not return to helm the sequels.
