Netflix’s Animated Twilight Adaptation Confirmed for Two Seasons

Netflix is adapting Twilight author Stephenie Meyer’s 2020 novel Midnight Sun into a two-season animated series. The book retells the events of Twilight from Edward Cullen’s perspective.

The 2008 fantasy film Twilight, starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, was based on Meyer’s 2005 vampire romance novel. The film was widely parodied but attracted millions of fans.

While the original book is narrated by Bella Swan, Midnight Sun follows Edward as he navigates the world as a vampire and falls in love with her. It reveals his thoughts during key moments, including the biology classroom scene.

Netflix’s Midnight Sun will have two seasons

Although Midnight Sun is a single book, Netflix is adapting it into two seasons. Casting was underway during the summer, and reports indicated that production was scheduled to run from August 2026 to May 2027.

The Twilight franchise has continued to draw viewers, with the films rising to the top of streaming charts years after their release.

Netflix’s Midnight Sun, set in Forks, Washington, is in development and did not have a release window at the time of writing.
