Entire ‘Twilight Saga’ will be released in theaters in October


Itโ€™s time to revisit the age-old question thatโ€™s been debated for years: Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob?

Lionsgate will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the โ€œTwilightโ€ 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 โ€” a human, a vampire and a werewolf, respectively โ€” 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 Edwardโ€™s instinct to harm her and by Bellaโ€™s friend Jacob Black (Lautner), who belongs to a rival werewolf clan.

There are five films in the series: โ€œTwilightโ€ (2008); โ€œNew Moonโ€ (2009); โ€œEclipseโ€ (2010); โ€œBreaking Dawn โ€” Part 1โ€ (2011); and โ€œBreaking Dawn โ€” Part 2โ€ (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 yearโ€™s 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 โ€œgay awakeningโ€ using scenes of Bella. Stewart, who came out as queer and married screenwriter Dylan Meyer in April, said the films are โ€œgayโ€ during an interview with Variety in January.

โ€œItโ€™s all about oppression, about wanting whatโ€™s going to destroy you. Thatโ€™s a very Gothic, gay inclination that I love,โ€ the actor said.

Stewart starred in last yearโ€™s romantic thriller โ€œLove Lies Bleedingโ€ (2024) and will next appear in her wifeโ€™s directorial debut, โ€œThe Wrong Girls,โ€ which is written by the couple.

Pattinson played the titular character in 2022โ€™s โ€œThe Batman.โ€ He last appeared in Bong Joon Hoโ€™s sci-fi comedy โ€œMickey 17โ€ (2025) and will appear later this year in Lynne Ramsayโ€™s psychological dramedy โ€œDie, My Love.โ€

Lautner took a few acting jobs after the end of the saga, in films such as โ€œGrown Ups 2โ€ (2013) and โ€œThe Ridiculous 6โ€ (2015), but his most recent credit was in Netflixโ€™s โ€œHome Teamโ€ (2022).
