Huge blockbuster movie franchise to return as a TV series – and fans can’t wait

A TOP teen rom-com is tipped to be transformed into a fresh new TV programme.

The first instalment of the Twilight film series hit cinemas back in 2008.

Now The Hollywood Reporter has claimed plans to take the vampire flick to TV are in its “infancy” – in news set to delight fans.

It claims a TV series based on Stephanie Meyer’s books is in “early development.”

The speculation came shortly after a Harry Potter TV series was confirmed by Warner Bros.

The publication claims Sinead Daly is primed to pen the new Twilight script and “working with Lionsgate TV to determine what the specific take on Twilight will be.”

It added there are question marks as to “if it will be a remake of Meyer’s books or a different offshoot.”

As yet, it claims there are no networks tipped to broadcast any new TV series and “not yet a timeline” for when it will hit screens.

Yet it does suggest sources have claimed “author Meyer is expected to be involved in the television adaptation.”

The first Twilight movie was released in 2008 with the final instalment, Breaking Dawn Part Two, released in 2012.

The opening film in the Twilight saga introduces an introverted teenager named Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), who has moved to Forks in Arizona to live wither her father (Billy Burke).

While she starts to make friends at her new school, Bella becomes intrigued by one of the students, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), who appears repulsed by her when she sits beside him in a Biology class.

Bella soon learns that Edward is a vampire and begins to fall in love with him.

Fans were quick to react to the announcement on Twitter.

One wrote: “I can’t believe that there is gonna be a tv series!”

A second put: “I hear that there is a new #Twilight TV series in the works and I’m super freaking excited for it!”

A third then gushed: “A TWILIGHT TV SERIES? OMG MY HEART.”
