Twilight fans, especially Team Edward, have reason to celebrate as a new addition to the beloved franchise is in the works. Netflix is developing an animated adaptation of Midnight Sun, Stephenie Meyer’s 2020 companion novel to the Twilight series. This upcoming series offers a fresh perspective on the iconic story, told entirely from the viewpoint of Edward Cullen, the captivating and mysterious vampire who stole Bella Swan’s heart.
A New Twist on a Classic Love Story
Midnight Sun revisits the events of the first Twilight novel, but instead of following Bella, it dives into Edward’s inner world. Fans will gain insight into his thoughts, struggles, and, of course, his undying love for Bella. “Edward Cullen is one of the most complex characters I’ve written, and seeing him brought to life in a new way will be a treat for longtime fans,” said Stephenie Meyer, who will also serve as executive producer for the series.
The Twilight Saga’s Legacy
The Twilight Saga became a worldwide phenomenon, spawning a film franchise that grossed billions. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson brought Bella Swan and Edward Cullen to life on the big screen, captivating audiences through five blockbuster movies: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn Part 1, and Breaking Dawn Part 2. Midnight Sun is set to expand this universe, with animation breathing new life into the beloved characters.
Star-Studded Production Team
Behind the scenes, the animated series is in good hands. Meyer will work alongside her production partner, Meghan Hibbett, under their Fickle Fish Films banner. Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen, who produced the original Twilight films, will return under Temple Hill Entertainment. Erik Feig and Samie Kim Falvey for Picturestart and Sinead Daly, known for Tell Me Lies and The Walking Dead: World Beyond, will write and executive produce the series.
“The team behind Midnight Sun is an absolute dream,” said Meyer. “I’m thrilled to collaborate with these talented individuals to bring Edward’s story to fans in a new and exciting way.”
