Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner, Twilight released five fantastic movies from 2008 to 2012, following the story of a young Bella Swan as she finds herself in a dangerous love triangle with the vampire Edward Cullen, and the Quileute shapeshifter werewolf, Jacob Black.

Recently, the Twilight saga has seen a significant rise in popularity once again, despite a lack of content since Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 was released in 2012. This comes as its older fanbase fondly look back on the YA films, creating various memes, skits, and generally revitalizing enthusiasm for Twilight. As a result, 13 years since the movies were originally released, Netflix has decided to release the entire saga on its platform, most likely to capitalize on the growing attention of the franchise, so you can now revisit Twilight’s Cullen family once again, catching up on that 2010s action.
Netflix’s decision to host all the Twilight movies on its platform doesn’t come as a surprise, as the streaming service is most likely gearing up for the release of the Twilight animated TV series based on Midnight Sun. Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight novel, Midnight Sun, was released in 2020, and follows the events of the first novel from the perspective of Edward Cullen. The series was announced in 2023 by Lionsgate, before being given a straight-to-series order by Netflix in 2024. A timeline has not been revealed, but, in the meantime, Twilight fans can enjoy the trending films on Netflix.
