The Twilight franchise has always been popular, but a recent streaming move has seen the film series experience something of a resurgence with fans. When the new month kicked off last week, all five movies in the Twilight Saga returned to Netflix, where they haven’t been available for quite some time. In the following days, the original Twilight began popping up on the daily updating Netflix Top 10 Movies list. Then the other films in the series started following suit.
Thursday’s edition of the Netflix Top 10 Movies lineup shows not just one Twilight movie, but four of the five films in the franchise among Netflix’s most popular titles. The original Twilight is currently the second biggest movie on Netflix in the U.S., trailing only Exterritorial and even coming in ahead of newly added Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Meanwhile, The Twilight Saga: New Moon is sitting in seventh place on the chart, followed by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse in ninth and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 in 10th.
For now, the only Twilight film not appearing in the Netflix Top 10 is The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, which is slightly surprising given that both its predecessor and sequel are showing up on the list.
Just how long Twilight can sustain this kind of momentum is anybody’s guess. The films have been out for over a decade but more fans are still discovering them every day. Now that they’re on the biggest streaming platform around, it’s likely that audience is growing faster than it has in a long time.
