Entire ‘Twilight Saga’ will be released in theaters in October
Itβs time to revisit the age-old question thatβs been debated for years: Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?
Lionsgate will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the βTwilightβ novels by bringing the entire film saga back to the big screen from Oct. 29 through Nov. 2, The Times confirmed.
The love triangle tale starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner β a human, a vampire and a werewolf, respectively β grossed more than $3.3 billion worldwide during its first run, according to Box Office Mojo.
The films, based on the four-part book series written by Stephenie Meyer, follow the story of Bella Swan (Stewart) and vampire Edward Cullen (Pattinson). Their relationship is tested by Edwardβs instinct to harm her and by Bellaβs friend Jacob Black (Lautner), who belongs to a rival werewolf clan.
There are five films in the series: βTwilightβ (2008); βNew Moonβ (2009); βEclipseβ (2010); βBreaking Dawn β Part 1β (2011); and βBreaking Dawn β Part 2β (2012). Round-table chats with Meyer, producer Wyck Godfrey, former co-president of Lionsgate Gillian Bohrer and others will accompany each film.
As part of the festivities, Meyers is scheduled to be the honored guest at this yearβs Forever Twilight in Forks Festival, an annual celebration in Forks, Wash., the setting of the book series. The fest will take place Sept. 11-14.
The films have remained in pop culture through TikTok trends where fans announce their βgay awakeningβ using scenes of Bella. Stewart, who came out as queer and married screenwriter Dylan Meyer in April, said the films are βgayβ during an interview with Variety in January.
βItβs all about oppression, about wanting whatβs going to destroy you. Thatβs a very Gothic, gay inclination that I love,β the actor said.
Stewart starred in last yearβs romantic thriller βLove Lies Bleedingβ (2024) and will next appear in her wifeβs directorial debut, βThe Wrong Girls,β which is written by the couple.
Pattinson played the titular character in 2022βs βThe Batman.β He last appeared in Bong Joon Hoβs sci-fi comedy βMickey 17β (2025) and will appear later this year in Lynne Ramsayβs psychological dramedy βDie, My Love.β
Lautner took a few acting jobs after the end of the saga, in films such as βGrown Ups 2β (2013) and βThe Ridiculous 6β (2015), but his most recent credit was in Netflixβs βHome Teamβ (2022).
