Lionsgate is expanding its Twilight series with an additional animated series, as per the reports by Variety.
Michael Burns, vice chairman of Lionsgate, shared the news during Q&A at the Morgan Stanley media conference on Tuesday, revealing, “We’re going to go out with the Twilight series, an animated series, I think there’ll be a lot of interest in that.”
Earlier, in April last year, it had been reported that Twilight TV series adaption has been in production in a very early development at Lionsgate Television.
The animated series would be based on the Stephanie Meyer book series of the same name, which was previously adapted into a film franchise, which starred Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner.
The film franchise – which was collectively known as Twilight Saga – was comprised of five films, which were released between 2008 and 2012. In total, the five movies grossed over $3 billion at the global box office in total.
