Netflix’s Animated 'Twilight' Series Gets Major Update: Two Seasons Confirmed

A closer look at Netflix’s Animated 'Twilight' Series Gets Major Update: Two Seasons Confirmed

Two seasons officially ordered for Midnight Sun

Lionsgate confirmed during its Q2 2027 earnings call that Netflix has committed to two seasons of the animated Midnight Sun, an episodic adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s novel that retells Twilight from Edward Cullen’s perspective. Lionsgate’s Kevin Beggs described it as a "2-season adult animation order at Netflix," and said Meyer and her team are hands-on in the process.

What the series is shaping up to be and why two seasons matter

The adaptation is being positioned as adult animation aimed at grown-up Twilight fans, with Lionsgate saying it sees the show as a "continuation and expansion" of the Twilight universe. A two-season upfront order matters because Netflix usually orders season-by-season; locking two seasons helps keep production rolling without long pauses, which is useful for animation that can take years to produce. The article notes that Midnight Sun is a lengthy novel, so splitting it across two seasons suggests a slower pacing through Edward’s version of events.
