First they came for Harry Potter, and now it’s Twilight. Variety reports that Lionsgate Television is shopping a planned animated Twilight series, based on Stephenie Meyer’s book series and the popular movie franchise that launched Kristen Stewart’ and Robert Pattinson’s careers.

Lionsgate’s vice chairman, Michael Burns, teased: “We’re going to go out with the Twilight series, an animated series, I think there’ll be a lot of interest in that.” It was first announced back in 2023 that Lionsgate was looking into bringing the vampire-werewolf-human series to the small screen, but no details had been discussed at the time.

There were four Twilight novels published between 2005 and 2008. In 2015, Meyer released Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined, which gender-swapped the two main characters, Bella and Edward. Meyer later published Midnight Sun in 2020, which told the story of the first book from Edward’s point of view instead of Bella’s. The film franchise, meanwhile, was comprised of five films (the last book, Breaking Dawn, was split into two movies) and released between 2008 and 2012.

Props to Meyer for getting the most bang for her buck on these books, though we have to question whether Twilight can really be adapted for 2024 audiences. A large part of what makes the Twilight movies cult classics are their unintentional campy quality, which would be hard to authentically replicate in a contemporary series.
