Netflix Orders ‘Twilight’ Animated Series Based on Stephenie Meyer’s ‘Midnight Sun’

Sep 6 2024

Netflix has officially green lit a Twilight animated series, adapting Stephenie Meyer’s 2020 novel Midnight Sun, a retelling of Twilight from Edward Cullen’s perspective. The series is being developed by Lionsgate Television, the same company behind the original Twilight film saga, and will be written and executive produced by Sinead Daly (Tell Me Lies).

Meyer, creator of the globally successful Twilight series, is also executive producing the project alongside Meghan Hibbett for Fickle Fish Films. Temple Hill Entertainment’s Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen, who produced the Twilight films, will join Erik Feig and Samie Kim Falvey from Picturestart as executive producers.

Midnight Sun delves deeper into Edward Cullen’s perspective, a narrative that had a significant influence on Robert Pattinson’s portrayal of the character in the 2008 film. The animated series adds a new dimension to the beloved saga, promising to captivate both long-time fans and new audiences.

This adaptation has been in development for over a year, as part of Lionsgate’s strategy to expand its signature franchises. Alongside Twilight, the company is working on a TV series from its John Wick franchise.
