After “Harry Potter”: The next fantasy cult series becomes a series – it has shaped an entire generation

The really big young adult hype is over for now – but there was a time when there was a slew of novels about young heroines, mostly set in fantasy or sci-fi settings in a vortex of dangerous adventures, dramas and Romances advised filmed. At the very beginning of the big wave in the 2000s, the “Twilight” movies and books followed this trend – and now they’re being adapted again as the “Twilight” series.

That vampire Edward, werewolf Jacob and (initially) human Bella will be resurrected on the small screen is reported exclusive. The “Twilight” series is produced by Lionsgate Television and is It is said to be still in a very early stage of development. There are no authors for the fantasy series, nor a streaming service or TV channel on board at this time. First they want to develop the project a little further before selling the rights for the broadcast learned from his sources.

Original author to work on ‘Twilight’ series

It can be assumed that novelist Stephenie Meyer will be involved in the project. And then of course, as with the recently announced “Harry Potter” series, the question of all questions arises: Who will take on the roles in the remake that have become so dear to millions of viewers? In the “Twilight” films, these were the leading roles of Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart – and the question of whether one was “Team Edward” or “Team Jacob” moved the whole (young) world at the time.

Of course, the Twilight saga did not invent the young adult genre. The term is vague anyway and not a genre in itself, but rather a description of a target audience – but together with the fantasy and science fiction genres, it becomes a category that experienced a very special boom in the 2000s. And while “Harry Potter” may already have hints of it, “Twilight” really took off in terms of “problematic young love” and “love triangles,” increasingly shaping young adult narratives of this era — especially in the cinema , where an entire generation should still remember the hype of the time.

On “Twilight – bite until dawn‘ and co. followed film adaptations of novels and novel series such as ‘The Hunger Games’, ‘The Maze Runner’, ‘Determination – Divergent’, ‘Chronicles of the Underworld – City of Bones’ and many more – not all of which were crowned with lasting success, and in a at some point the hype slowly ebbed away. But now the series “Twilight” could revive him, and she is not alone: For example, the prequel to the series “Hunger Games” is “The Hunger Games – The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakesin progress, which will hit theaters on November 16, 2023.
