Stephanie Meyer’s vampire series was adapted in 2008, but how many Twilight movies are there? Here’s your guide to the entire film saga.

It may be hard to believe, but it’s been almost 20 years since the world was first introduced to Bella Swan, Edward Cullen, and the gloomy world of Twilight.

We’re heading back for a Twilight TV series, but we still have lots of nostalgia for the iffy movies.

The movie franchise grossed over $3.4 billion worldwide and made the entire cast household names. But, here are all the movies to include in your rewatch.

How many movies are in the Twilight franchise?

There are five movies in the Twilight movie franchise. The films came out between 2008 to 2012.

While Stephanie Meyers only wrote four books, the last book was split into two films.

All the Twilight movies:

  • Twilight (2008)
  • The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
  • The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
  • The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011)
  • The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012)

Twilight (2008)

The story starts in 2008 when Bella Swan meets the mysterious Edward Cullen at school. After experiencing a fast fall into love, she discovers he and his family are vampires.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

New Moon sees Bella face a deep depression when Edward goes missing from her life. In the meantime, werewolf Jacob Black grows closer to her while the werewolf and blood-sucker tension rises in the background. The sulkiest of the films, New Moon is a rainsoaked, intense look at the core love triangle.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)

The most action-oriented of the Saga, Eclipse forces Forks’ werewolves and vampires into a fraught alliance when newborns begin to tear through the streets. Eclipse continues to develop supporting characters and their relationships while making it clear how dangerous it is for a human to be embedded with these supernatural creatures.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011)

Breaking Dawn Part 1 is as close to horror as Twilight ever got (and it was pretty damn close). It kicks off with Bella and Edward tying the knot. But the honeymoon bliss takes a sharp turn when Bella discovers she’s pregnant with a half-vampire, half-human baby. The Cullen family rallies around her, while tensions rise with the Volturi.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012)

Breaking Dawn Part 2 wraps up the Saga with Bella now a vampire and a mom to a half-human, half-vampire daughter. Things get intense when the Volturi see Renesme as a threat, forcing the Cullens to seek allies for a possible battle.
