An update on the Twilight TV show reveals a major change in the show’s format. Written by Stephanie Meyer, Twilight was first released back in 2005. The vampire novel series was then adapted into a popular film series starring Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart. A TV series adaptation of Twilight was announced in April 2023. Deadline has revealed a change to the upcoming Twilight TV series. According to Lionsgate Vice Chairman Michael Burns, the Twilight show will be animated. Burns referred to the series as “an animated series,” and according to Deadline’s sources, that has been the plan from the get-go.
“We’re going to go out with the Twilight series, an animated series, I think there’ll be a lot of interest in that.” While the Twilight show's animated status may indeed have been the plan all along, this is the first time that aspect of the series has been voiced publicly. When the Twilight series was initially announced, it did not yet have a writer or platform attached. All the information given was that it was a “series version” of the Twilight books, suggesting that it would be a small screen reboot rather than a spinoff storyline. Meyers was also thought to be involved.
