It has been announced by Variety that Netflix will be developing the Twilight-alterna-POV book Midnight Sun into an animated series. Lionsgate Television had already confirmed earlier this year that the story was going to be adapted into an animated series, however, it was only revealed yesterday that it was given a straight-to-series order.
Being that it’s a straight-to-series order, that means that a whole season will be produced without any pre-viewing by the network. This all sounds great, and we can only hope that it’ll be good enough for more seasons after that. However, given Netflix’s proclivity to cancel even well-received shows after one or two seasons, we can only wait and see once the series comes out.
No release date has been revealed for the series, and we have yet to know who will be voicing our beloved twinkling vampires, so we’ll be releasing news as it comes.
