More than 10 years have passed since the Twilight vampire franchise came to an end, but it hasn't run out of potential. Soon, fans of this universe will have a surprise from Netflix.

The streaming service announced the release of the animated series Midnight Sun on its platform. It will be based on the novel by the same author, writer Stephenie Meyer, in which she describes the events of the first book of the series from the point of view of Edward Cullen, not Bella Swan.

The book was published in 2020 and sold one million copies in its first week. Netflix ordered its adaptation. Meyer will serve as the project's executive producer. The script will be written by Sinead Daly (The Walking Dead: World Beyond, Raised by Wolves). It is not yet known who will direct and voice the characters in the animated series.

The publication of The Twilight Saga novels began in 2005, and in 2008, the film adaptation of the first book was released. The movie became very popular among teenagers and made the main actors Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner real stars.

Meyer published the last novel in the series in 2008, and its film adaptation was completed in 2012. The five films in the saga have grossed more than $3 billion at the global box office. Later, the writer released two additional novels - Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined (2015), in which the main characters, Bella and Edward, switched genders, and Midnight Sun (2020), where the writer retold the first book from Edward's point of view.
