Stephenie Meyer’s blockbuster Twilight franchise is heading to the small screen, and here are the details.
There was a time in the early 2010s when Twilight was just about the biggest film franchise around.
It comprises five films – 2008’s Twilight, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, 2009’s New Moon, directed by Chris Weitz, 2010’s Eclipse, directed by David Slade, and the two part finale Breaking Dawn, directed by Bill Condon and released in 2011 and 2012. Their success was such that two parody films were also released in quick succession, the much maligned Vampire’s Suck and Breaking Wind.
The films followed Kristen Stewart’s Bella Swan as she becomes romantically involved with vampire Edward Cullen, played by Robert Pattinson, and werewolf Jacob Black, played by Taylor Lautner. Which all leads to a battle with vampire coven The Volturi.
Adapted by future Jessica Jones creator Melissa Rosenberg, the large ensemble cast also included Billy Burke,...

Ah, The Twilight Saga. What a moment in time. From the release of the first installment in 2008 to the conclusion in 2012, it was an era in which online randos believed the epitome of comedy was responding to the announcement of a new piece of vampire media with, "So long as the vampires don't sparkle, I'm in!" All the while, the movie adaptations of Stephenie Meyer's uber-popular supernatural teen romance novels continued to rake in enough money to fill several dump trucks with each passing year, no matter how much their detractors roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.

Taylor Lautner flexed his arm muscles in a mirror selfie he posted on his Instagram story in response to negative comments he’s been getting from fans.
In the photo, the 31-year-old Twilight star wears a sleeveless tank tee and blue sports shorts, alongside a caption that reads: “Let’s get it.”
A few hours after the post, Lautner followed up with an after-workout snapshot with sweat on his forehead, captioning “Told ya.”
The toned actor is famous for his ripped appearance in the Twilight film series, where he showed off his six-pack playing werewolf Jacob Black.
Although Lautner seems to be confidently showcasing his athletic physicality, he recently opened up through a four-minute video he posted on Instagram about receiving negative comments after attending a press event for The Squeeze with his wife Taylor Dome.

Taylor Lautner seems pretty unbothered at the moment. The actor first rose to fame at the age of 13 with one of the titular roles in 2005's "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl," then rocketed to another level of stardom thanks to his performance as the werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight movies from 2008-2012. But now - after taking some time away from the chaos of the entertainment industry, focusing on his mental health, and getting married - he seems pretty clearheaded.
Twilight has been having a bit of a renaissance on social media over the past few years, and a new TV series based on the fantasy franchise has even reportedly been green lit, but Taylor says he's "in a great place now" about all that. "I don't know how much I've felt it, to be completely honest," he tells Popsugar of Twilight's resurgence in popularity.

There was no shortage of actors cast in the five Twilight movies. And while Kristen Stewart formed friendships with a few of her fellow castmates, she developed a particularly close bond with Taylor Lautner. Lautner, of course, portrayed Jacob Black in The Twilight Saga. He is Bella Swan’s werewolf best friend and love interest turned son-in-law. While Bella and Jacob’s relationship takes on many forms, their connection is undeniable. And it turns out that, in some ways, Stewart and Lautner’s personal relationship mirrored that of their characters.

While we have so many favorite celebrity couples, we especially have a soft spot for Taylor Lautner and Taylor Dome. The "Twilight" actor started dating the nurse sometime in 2018. They were together for three years before they got engaged in November 2021 and tied the knot a year later. Over the years, Lautner and Dome have made very few public appearances, so we've only ever seen glimpses of their relationship on social media. But whenever they do appear on each other's Instagrams, the stars are always smiling, hugging, and giving each other the biggest heart eyes.
Considering Lautner's relationship history reportedly includes A-listers like Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez, you might be wondering how he met Dome and how their relationship blossomed over the years. Get this: Dome was a huge "Twilight" fan like many of us. In a June 2022 Instagram video, Dome even reveals she used to have a crush...

Robert Pattinson says he came really close to being dropped as vampire Edward Cullen.
In a new interview with The New York Times, the 31-year-old actor claims he was almost fired from Twilight, the franchise that made him a household name.
Watch: Kristen Stewart Recalls Dating ‘Twilight’ Co-Star Robert Pattinson: 'I Wasn't Hiding Anything'
Pattinson explains that while on the set of the first film, which was released in 2008, his agents had to fly in at one point to help him straighten out his behavior.
"I didn't have to kiss anybody's rear end the entire time," he shares. "I don't think I did, anyway."
Looking back at "the height" of his fame, as he refers to it, Pattinson is well aware that taking on the role was risky for an actor trying to be seen as more than just a heartthrob. He calls himself "a sellout," but says it was all worth it.
