Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Uglies’ on Netflix, a YA Dystopian Saga That Burdens Joey King With Rote Genre Tropes
It’s been 19 years since the first Twilight book hit shelves and 16 years since its first film adaptation. Now, its’s time for the franchise’s star vampire to share his perspective.
Netflix announced on Wednesday (Sept. 4) that an adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s Midnight Sun “is officially in production.” According to Variety, Lionsgate’s Vice Chairman Michael Burns first confirmed the project to be an animated series in March.
The series’ initial love triangle of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) divided fans into two camps: Team Edward and Team Jacob. Those in the first camp were thrilled when Meyer opted to publish Midnight Sun in 2020, which she had begun writing back in 2008 following the publication of Breaking Dawn.
Meyer is onboard the project as an executive producer with Meghan Hibbett for Fickle Fish Films, as well as Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen for Temple Hill Entertainment, Erik Feig and Samie Kim Falvey for Picturestart, and Sinead Daly, the last of whom will also serve as the show’s writer.
Interested in when Netflix’s Midnight Sun TV show hits streaming? Here’s what we know.
What is Midnight Sun about?
Per Netflix’s Tudum, the upcoming animated series is based on Meyer’s 2020 Twilight companion novel of the same title, described as “a retelling of the first entry in the Twilight story” told “entirely from the perspective of Edward Cullen.”
When will Midnight Sun be streaming on Netflix?
As noted by Netflix on X on Wednesday, Midnight Sun “is officially in development.” There are no further details as to where in the production process the show is currently. In the meantime, fans can rewatch Twilight and its sequel films: New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn: Part 1, and Breaking Dawn: Part 2.
