Based on the novels by Stephenie Meyer, the film series became a multi-billion-dollar franchise. It featured Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson as the lead couple and expanded into five blockbuster films — Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn: Part 1, and Breaking Dawn: Part 2. Released between 2008 and 2012, the films were a massive commercial success, grossing over USD 3 billion worldwide.
In 2015, Meyer released Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined, a gender-swapped version of the original story. She later followed up with Midnight Sun in 2020, which revisits the Twilight franchise from the perspective of Edward Cullen, the vampire who captures Bella Swan’s attention in the original novel.
Midnight Sun is being adapted into an animated series, currently in development at Netflix.
