Netflix has confirmed that the Twilight movie series will be leaving the streaming service in 2021.
The Twilight movie series is set to leave Netflix in 2021, but fans have been given a glimmer of hope that they could return to the streaming service at some point in the future. The Twilight Saga movies were acquired by Netflix back in 2017 and have remained a staple of the streaming service ever since. However, with The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars also leaving Netflix next year, it looks like fans of supernatural teen dramas are going to be out of luck when it comes to streaming them.
The news was announced on Twitter by Netflix’s official account for its US operation. When asked about whether or not The Twilight Saga would be returning to Netflix, a representative replied that they had no plans for any future releases. While this doesn’t mean that they won’t come back at some point in the future, it certainly seems unlikely given how popular they are on other platforms.
If you’re wondering why exactly The Twilight Saga is leaving Netflix, there’s actually a very simple explanation for this. All of these movies were produced by Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate Entertainment, who have both left Netflix for WarnerMedia. While Lionsgate has stayed with WarnerMedia as part of its deal with HBO Max (which will include all eight movies), Summit Entertainment has decided to move over to Hulu instead. This means that all three studios involved with producing these movies have decided not to renew their contracts with Netflix.
