It was announced last year from Lionsgate that a new TV adaptation of Stephanie Meyer’s fantasy-romance novel series “The Twilight Saga” was in its early stages of development. More recently during a Morgan Stanley Media Conference Q&A, Lionsgate vice-chairman Michael Burns revealed that this new adaptation is an animated series. While no more details are available on this series at this time, the choice to animate a live-action IP is a very interesting decision that gives this series the opportunity to lean further into Twilight’s more fantastical elements.
“Twilight” tells the story of Bella, a human who falls in love with Edward, a vampire, and the various challenges and clashes between their worlds and those of other fantastical creatures such as werewolves. The original Twilight Saga books originally began publication in 2005 with “Twilight,” followed by “New Moon,” “Eclipse,” and “Breaking Dawn in 2006, 2007 and 2008 respectively.
