Deadlinereports Netflix has give a straight - to - serial order for aTwilightanimated series base onStephenie Meyer ’s 2020 novelMidnight Sun . Just like the book it ’s based on , the new series contrive to retell the events of Meyer ’s original novel from the perspective of the 100 - year old vampire , Edward Cullen , rather of teenager Bella Swan . Sinead Daly ( enjoin Me Lies ) has been lease to executive develop and indite the series for the streamer and Lionsgate Television .
betray over a million copies in its first calendar week of publication , Midnight Sunwas for the most part trash by critics upon sacking for its massive 750 + Sir Frederick Handley Page length and Edward ’s odd prose . As the electrical outlet mark , Meyers shared chapters from a much earlier draft of her novel with actor Robert Pattinson during the filming of the originalTwilightto well inform his performance .
For anyone who found Edward ’s character and motivations impenetrable before , it ’s a fascinating , yet still often unhelpful read . write in the first individual , Edward describes how his intrusive , vampiric inherent aptitude cause him to misplace control with flowery , inappropriate - for - the - consequence language . It ’s sort of like an 800 - page version of that joke inGhostbusterswhere Egon posit “ he ’s terrorise beyond the capacity for rational sentiment . ” For lover , there ’s for certain enough material for an intact time of year of tv set . For an precise adaption of the novel , the report will have to be distinguish in polar increments , like thoseDragonball Zarcs where characters spend multiple episodes merely steeling themselves before they do anything to Frieza .
