The Twilight Saga experienced somewhat of a revival after becoming available on Netflix, and the streaming giant is breathing a new life into this franchise. Stephenie Meyer’s novel Midnight Sun is getting its animated adaptation, with Sinead Daly at the helm.
Twilight and its sequels were told from Bella Swan’s point of view, but the companion novel Midnight Sun allowed fans to experience the same story from Edward Cullen’s perspective. It offers a dark twist on this unforgettable tale, while also revealing fascinating details about Edward’s past and the complexity of his inner thoughts.
Sinead Daly (Tell Me Lies) will serve as the writer of this series and one of the executive producers alongside Stephenie Meyer, Meghan Hibbett for Fickle Fish Films, Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen for Temple Hill Entertainment, and Erik Feig and Samie Kim Falvey for Picturestart. Lionsgate TV is producing the series after their movie studio sibling released The Twilight Saga in theaters over a decade ago.
Five films in The Twilight Saga originally launched between 2008 and 2012, and became a true global phenomenon, with over $3 billion grossed worldwide. They helped launch the careers of several young actors, including its leading trio Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner.
