Peacock Removes ‘Twilight’ But Fans Can Stream the Saga on Netflix
As October kicks off, ‘Twilight’ and its four sequels are among the films leaving Peacock, leaving fans disappointed if they had planned a fall rewatch. The removal of ‘Twilight’ is a typical licensing shuffle that has stirred up chatter among fans of Bella, Edward, and Jacob. As of October 2, US viewers can confirm that the saga is no longer available on Peacock.
Fortunately, Forks fans won’t be left in the dark. All five films began streaming on Netflix in the US on October 1, perfectly timed for Halloween viewing.
Peacock’s October exit list features several notable titles, with the vampire saga being the most significant loss. Various reports highlight ‘The Twilight Saga’ as one of the biggest movies disappearing from streaming platforms this month.
While one source indicates that the original film left Peacock on September 30, another lists ‘Twilight’ and its sequels as departing on October 1. Regardless, the films were no longer part of the lineup by October 2.
Such rotations are common among streaming services. Titles are often removed when licensing agreements expire, so this departure typically reflects a contract ending rather than the films’ performance.
The ‘Twilight’ saga has a history of shifting between platforms. It previously left Peacock in January only to reappear on Hulu the following month. The loss of ‘Twilight’ from Peacock is just another chapter in its long journey.
Peacock didn’t just remove one film; the entire collection is gone. This includes ‘Twilight’, ‘The Twilight Saga New Moon’, ‘The Twilight Saga Eclipse’, ‘The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1’, and ‘The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 2’, meaning fans can’t enjoy a partial marathon on the service.
Additionally, ‘Twilight’ isn’t the only title leaving. Other films like ‘Split’, the ‘Star Trek’ series, and ‘The Village’ are also on the October 1 exit list, along with classics like ‘Mean Girls’, ‘The Goonies’, ‘The Sixth Sense’, and ‘It Follows’. For a service gearing up for Halloween, losing so many beloved titles at once is a significant blow.
It’s easy to see why ‘Twilight’ garners the most attention among these departures. The five films collectively earned over 3.3 billion dollars globally, and Stephenie Meyer’s books have sold more than 160 million copies. A franchise of this magnitude rarely leaves a platform unnoticed.
For those wondering where to watch ‘Twilight’ now, Netflix is the new home for American viewers. All five films returned to Netflix in the US on October 1, with Netflix’s October lineup confirming the full drop. TV Insider’s October streaming guide also lists the entire saga among new arrivals on Netflix.
This isn’t the first time Netflix has hosted the vampire saga. After ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2’ joined on May 1, 2025, all five films were available, leading Netflix’s Top 10 charts for nearly a month. This earlier success suggests that the audience for a Cullen rewatch is still very much alive.
Fans can also look forward to more Meyer content in the future. Lionsgate is developing a television adaptation of ‘Midnight Sun’, Meyer’s retelling of the original story from Edward’s perspective, although no release date has been announced yet. For now, the Netflix return offers fans a chance to revisit the saga.
It’s important to note that this information applies specifically to the United States. The announcement pertains to US viewers and does not confirm Netflix availability in the UK, so fans in other regions should not assume the same lineup. Additionally, Peacock’s availability varies by location, meaning a removal there could have different implications depending on where you live.
You can see the regional differences on Netflix’s own pages. The listing for ‘The Twilight Saga New Moon’ indicates that the title may not be available in some countries. If you’re outside the US, it’s best to check your local Netflix library before planning a marathon.
Timing is crucial as well. Licensing agreements can change unexpectedly, and the saga’s history shows it may switch platforms again before you finish a rewatch. Now that Peacock has let Edward and Bella go and Netflix has welcomed them back, are you planning a big Halloween binge of all five ‘Twilight’ films? Which one do you think will hold up best on a second viewing? Let us know in the comments.
