Netflix has given Twilight fans another reason to look forward to its upcoming animated series, Midnight Sun, officially announcing that the project will consist of two seasons.
The confirmation means the story will continue beyond a single season, allowing viewers to spend more time revisiting the fictional world of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.
The series draws inspiration from Stephenie Meyer’s 2020 novel, which retells the story of Twilight from Edward’s perspective.
Whereas the original novel focused on Bella’s thoughts and emotions, Midnight Sun offers readers an insight into Edward’s mind throughout the same events.
The story also explores Edward’s deeper emotions for Bella and the difficulties he encountered while trying to stay close to her.
Lionsgate announced the two-season order during an earnings call held on November 5. The studio expressed strong confidence in the series, viewing it as an opportunity to introduce fans to more stories from the Twilight universe.
Meanwhile, Sinead Daly has taken on the role of showrunner, with Lynn Wang serving as the supervising director. Meyer is also involved in the project as an executive producer.
Netflix has yet to reveal an official release date for the series or disclose any details about its voice cast.
With production reportedly scheduled to continue through May 2027, the animated show is now expected to premiere sometime in 2028.
