An animated show based on the Twilight retelling Midnight Sun is in the works. The 2020 Stephenie Meyer novel reinterpreted the events of the first book in the iconic young adult paranormal romance series from the perspective of the vampire Edward Cullen rather than original protagonist Bella Swan. Although the manuscript was being written early enough for it to be used to help Robert Pattinson prepare to play Edward in the 2008 movie adaptation of Twilight, the first twelve chapters were leaked online, causing Meyer to cease writing the book for some time, delaying its publication.
Per Deadline, Netflix has announced that the Midnight Sun animated series, which has been in development at Lionsgate Television for nearly two years, has been given a straight-to-series order by Netflix. Sinead Daly will be writing in addition to executive producing the project alongside executive producers Stephenie Meyer, Meghan Hibbett, Wyck Godfrey, Marty Bowen, Erik Feig, and Samie Kim Falvey.
At the time of writing, no further information is known about the project or if its narrative, cast, or character designs will be directly linked to the Twilight movies.
