Until(s) the series: "Twilight" is coming back

Edward and Bella are back. The vampire series "Twilight" is being filmed as a series. However, it is still unclear how the "Until(s)" books will be turned into a series.
The Hollywood Reporter recently reported that an infamous fantasy series is getting a reboot: The "Twilight" saga is being rebooted as a series.
Mysterious realisation
In other respects, about as much is known about the series project as was initially known about vampire Edward Cullen in "Twilight - Until Dawn": a great deal is still a mystery. The project is still in its earliest stages, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The Canadian-American entertainment company Lionsgate Television has taken on the realisation.
The associated novels are written by author Stephenie Meyer. However, it is not yet clear whether she will write the upcoming series instalments. Who will take on the roles of Bella and Edward is also still up in the air.
To the point of drooling?
The relaunch is also causing quite a stir in the digitec editorial team. I have captured a few quotes.
Colleague Michelle Brändle explains: "The teenage years. Everything fits in here that I didn't think about back then and don't think about today. Twilight is one of them. I devoured all the films and today I can no longer explain how I could have done that to myself back then. I imagine an adaptation as a series would be difficult, but with a lot of creativity and good acting, it could definitely be successful."
Colleague Kevin Hofer, meanwhile, confesses: "Yes, I did watch the "Twilight" films. More like: I binge-watched them. Until the bitter end. What did I learn? Pop culture is finished. At its core, the 'Twilight' saga is nothing more than a reinterpretation of the story of salvation. A secular substitute for religion for esoteric teenagers."
What the up to the series season finale will be like - we remain curious.
