Based on Stephenie Meyer’s book series, the popular Twilight film franchise is soon headed to the small screen with an animated television series project, Variety reports this week.
The planned animated “Twilight” series is being shopped by Lionsgate Television.
Lionsgate’s vice chairman Michael Burns teased yesterday, “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 to bring Twilight to the small screen, but at the time we assumed the project would be a live action TV series.
Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, the Twilight film franchise grossed more than $3 billion, with five films released between 2008 and 2012. The film franchise become a massive pop culture phenomenon, though it’s been lying dormant for over 10 years now. Meyer did release a new book in 2020, however, titled Midnight Sun.
Kristen Stewart will next be seen in A24 thriller Love Lies Bleeding, in theaters Friday.
