Fans of the iconic vampire romance can rejoice: the Twilight movies are coming back to the big screen this fall. Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate announced that The Twilight Saga will return to theaters nationwide starting October 9, 2025, just in time for the Halloween season, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed. The re-release celebrates the franchise’s cultural impact and gives both longtime fans and a new generation the chance to experience Edward, Bella, and Jacob’s story in theaters once again.
Twilight’s Theatrical Run and Dates
The rerelease kicks off with the first film, Twilight, on October 9, followed by each installment on consecutive weeks, leading up to Breaking Dawn – Part 2 on November 6. Variety reported that this schedule aligns with the original films’ fall release pattern, creating a sense of nostalgia while drawing new audiences. Screenings will take place in major theater chains across the United States, with some international releases planned as well.
Why Twilight’s Return Matters
The Twilight Saga theaters’ event marks nearly two decades since the first film premiered in 2008. According to The Wrap, the move comes amid a wave of nostalgia-driven rereleases, from Harry Potter to The Hunger Games. For Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner fans, it’s also a reminder of how the series catapulted them into global stardom.
For Lionsgate, this theatrical revival doubles as a celebration and a test of the franchise’s ongoing popularity. Gizmodo noted that the rerelease could help gauge audience demand ahead of future new Twilight movie projects, including a potential television adaptation already in development.
Fan Excitement and Legacy
Fans have already expressed excitement on social media, calling the announcement a perfect Halloween treat. USA Today highlighted how the rerelease offers millennials a chance to relive their teenage years while introducing Gen Z to the phenomenon on the big screen. With the saga’s blend of romance, fantasy, and supernatural drama, it remains a cultural touchstone in YA storytelling.
What’s Next for the Franchise?
While there’s no official confirmation of a new Twilight movie, the franchise is far from dormant. Variety noted that Lionsgate has been exploring TV adaptations and expanded universe possibilities. This rerelease may serve as both a tribute and a testing ground for what comes next in the Twilight universe. Whether or not fresh projects emerge, one thing is clear: Twilight in theaters will remind audiences why the saga became a global obsession.
With Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s careers thriving and the fandom still buzzing, this October’s rerelease is more than just nostalgia—it’s a return to the dark, glittering world that defined a generation of moviegoers.
