Lionsgate Television is in the works on a ‘Twilight’ animated series, confirmed by Vice Chairman Michael Burns. The series is based on Stephanie Meyer’s book series that was turned into a successful film franchise with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner starring.
There have been four original “Twilight” novels along with spin-offs like “Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined” and “Midnight Sun.” The film series “The Twilight Saga” was a massive success grossing over $3 billion worldwide.
In addition to the “Twilight” project, Lionsgate is also expanding the “John Wick” franchise into a television series after the success of the film series starring Keanu Reeves. The upcoming show follows the release of the prequel miniseries “The Continental.”
