Netflix develops Twilight TV show adapting Midnight Sun

Netflix is preparing a TV adaptation of the Twilight saga based on the 2020 book Midnight Sun. The project aims to bring Stephenie Meyer's story to the small screen. An article suggests retaining a controversial element from the book.

Netflix has announced plans for an upcoming TV show centered on the Twilight universe. This adaptation will draw from Midnight Sun, the 2020 novel that retells the original Twilight story from Edward Cullen's perspective.

The book, released by author Stephenie Meyer, explores the vampire romance with a focus on Edward's internal thoughts. ScreenRant highlights that the adaptation should preserve one controversial aspect of the book, resisting changes to maintain its core narrative.

While details on the production remain limited, the project builds on the enduring popularity of the Twilight franchise, which began as a book series in 2005 and spawned multiple films. The decision to adapt Midnight Sun offers a fresh angle on the obsessive dynamics between characters, a point of discussion among fans and critics.

No release date or casting information has been confirmed yet. This development signals Netflix's continued investment in young adult fantasy adaptations.
