The Twilight Saga Is Streaming on HBO Max From 2026

by

Vampires are popular again, but the Twilight series stands out as a huge success. Based on Stephanie Meyer’s books, the movies quickly became a worldwide sensation, earning over $3.3 billion.

The Twilight Saga launched the careers of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner, and now you can watch the entire series again! All five Twilight films – Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn – Part 1, and Breaking Dawn – Part 2 – will be available to stream on HBO Max starting January 1, 2026.

Stephenie Meyer’s popular series revitalized the vampire, werewolf, and hybrid genres, but it was the central romance that truly captivated readers. Bella, who reluctantly moved to Forks, found her life transformed when she met the Cullen family, especially Edward, at school. Their connection was a classic tale of forbidden love, complicated by Edward’s struggle to resist his thirst for Bella’s blood while desperately wanting to protect her.

The Twilight Saga took a surprising turn when Jacob Black became a werewolf and developed feelings for Bella after Edward left her. This created a love triangle, and Bella struggled to choose between them. Throughout the five films, Bella and her family also faced danger from powerful enemies. The series uniquely combined romance, longing, excitement, fantasy, and intense drama, captivating audiences in a way few other films have managed.

Twilight Has Its Fair Share Of Controversial Elements

Although The Twilight Saga was incredibly popular, the romance between the main characters received a lot of criticism. Many found the relationship problematic, as Bella was only seventeen when she first met Edward. Concerns were also raised about Edward’s controlling tendencies and the frequent danger Bella willingly put herself in throughout their relationship.

Bella and Jacob didn’t have a good relationship, as he frequently disrespected her boundaries. After Bella became a vampire and had her daughter, Renesmee—who was half-human, half-vampire—Jacob developed a strong, instant connection with the baby, a behavior that many found concerning and resembled grooming.
