Team Edward fans, it’s time to see the story from Edward’s perspective as Netflix announces the animated adaptation of Midnight Sun, the companion novel to the hit Young Adult series Twilight. The animated series is currently in development, and here’s what you need to know about it. The news doesn’t include the casting or production schedule. Netflix announced that the series is in development.
Midnight Sun
Midnight Sun is the companion novel to Twilight, the 2005 book and first installment of the series. Written by Stephenie Meyer, it retells the events of Twilight from sparkly-vampire Edward’s perspective, as opposed to the series’ usual narrator, Bella Swan, then Swan, later Cullen. Midnight Sun sold one million copies in its first week of publication. The book was released in 2020 and was first reported to be in early development at studio Lionsgate in April 2023. However, Netflix announced that it is now developing the project.

The Twilight Saga was released in 2005 with its first installment, Twilight, followed by New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. Written by Meyer, the 2005 young adult-vampire romance novel is narrated by Isabella “Bella” Swan, who moves from Phoenix, Arizona, to Forks, Washington. She falls into danger after falling in love with Edward Cullen, a 103-year-old vampire frozen in his 17-year-old body. Which should you read first? It’s a trick question, but Twilight is recommended so you can appreciate the narration in Midnight Sun.
Netflix Series in Development
With the animated series in development, people can look forward to them as it was written. Meyer will serve as executive producer with her Fickle Fish Films partner Meghan Hibbett. They will work alongside Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen for Temple Hill Entertainment, and Erik Feig and Samie Kim Falvey for Picturestart.
Sinead Daly, famous for her works Tell Me Lies, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, Raised by Wolves, and The Get Down, will also executive produce and write the series. Lionsgate TV will produce it. As of now, its release date hasn’t been confirmed. Yet, its fans are eagerly awaiting to see what the cast produces.
Final Thoughts
Midnight Sun joins the successful Twilight Saga, which consisted of five films released between 2008 and 2012. The series grossed over $3 billion at the global box office, bringing its main cast, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner, to popularity. Midnight Sun is the latest canon added to the Twilight Saga. In 2015, Meyer released the book Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined, which gender-swapped the two main characters, Bella and Edward, to celebrate the original novel’s tenth anniversary. Meyer announced that she has two more plans for two more Twilight books.
