If you’ve loved watching the Twilight movies over and over with your Netflix subscription, it’s perhaps time to savor every moment because they won’t be there long. As you might have noticed if you’ve clicked one of the titles from the franchise lately, that cursed “leaving soon” marker is there, and fans of the vampire films are understandably getting annoyed at the news.
The Twilight Movies Are Officially Leaving Netflix… Again
So here’s the thing. All the Twilight movies just returned to Netflix again at the top of May, and the last day to watch is already June 30. That means the movies will have been on 2025 Netflix releases for just two months before sucking blood somewhere else. Check out one comment on the news:

There’s a lot more where that came from. Here are even more complaints on Twitter over the move:
- “Why tf twilight series already leaving Netflix it just got here” – @jackiecopee
- “Someone please give Twilight a permanent home. I’m so sick of Netflix only wanting to be a weekend parent.” – @starjowers
- “what’s with this weird on & off, toxic relationship between the twilight saga and netflix” – @leilanisrina
- “why does twilight only get put on netflix for like 5 minutes :(“ – @Dupl1na
The people make a good point. It wasn’t long ago when the franchise made a grand return on Netflix, and now fans will have to hope the movies land on one of the other best streaming services out there like it has in the past.
Fans Are Understandably Not Happy With Twilight’s Unstable Streaming History
As someone who has seen Twilight’s path across streaming services in the past few years, I can confirm it’s definitely had an unstable journey from one service to the other. The franchise has moved everywhere from Disney+ to Hulu to Amazon Prime Video to Peacock probably across the past year alone, and it doesn’t seem to stay at any one place for long.
While a lot of movies in recent years have found permanent homes on certain streaming services because the studios associated with them are directly tied to the streaming services: such as all the Marvel movies in order being on Disney+, Twilight licensing isn’t so cut and dry.
The franchise was distributed by Summit Entertainment, which is a production label of Lionsgate Films, which doesn’t have a streaming service to call its own like, lets say, Paramount having Paramount+ or Universal having Peacock. As a result, their franchises like The Hunger Games, John Wick or Now You See Me have bounced all over the streaming service map. For example, The Hunger Games was also on Netflix for a little bit before leaving swiftly like Twilight did.
The good news is the Twilight movies will probably be able to stream somewhere else soon, and you can always opt for a physical copy. Oh, and Lionsgate and Netflix are working together on a Twilight animated series based on Midnight Sun. For now, enjoy the originals cinematic adaptations while you can in June!
