Twilight (novel series)

Literature-Originated Franchises

Twilight is a media franchise built around a series of four vampire romance novels by American author Stephenie Meyer, released annually from 2005 through 2008, along with two companion novels and a novella. The main series follows Bella Swan, a teenager who moves to Forks, Washington and falls in love with a 104-year-old vampire named Edward Cullen, and is told largely from Bella's point of view apart from sections narrated by the werewolf Jacob Black. The novels were adapted into a five-film series between 2008 and 2012 that became a major box office success, and the franchise has since extended into a 2015 gender-swapped retelling and a 2020 companion novel telling the first book's events from Edward's perspective, along with extensive merchandise.
