Netflix’s New Reboot Of $3.3B Fantasy Franchise Gets Shocking New Production Update

Netflix’s Twilight series has received a shocking new production update.

Based on the best-selling book series by Stephenie Meyer, the Twilight film franchise began in 2008, following the human Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), two star-crossed lovers in Forks, Washington. Despite garnering generally negative reviews from critics, the five Twilight movies were a massive commercial success that grossed more than $3.3 billion worldwide.

Now, during its quarterly earnings call, Lionsgate said that Netflix’s adult animated Midnight Sun series has been ordered for two seasons:

2-season, adult animated series order at Netflix. Stephanie and her team are very hands on, really running the process, along with us and Netflix. We have high expectations and hopes. And, more importantly, that we’re engaging our audience and her audience in continuation and expansion of her universe.
