Peacock Just Dropped ‘Twilight’, But Team Edward Isn’t Out of Luck

‘Twilight’ and its four sequels are among the films rotating out of Peacock as October begins, and for anyone who planned a fall rewatch on the service, the timing stings. Peacock removing ‘Twilight’ is the kind of quiet licensing shuffle that sparks a lot of noise among fans of Bella, Edward and Jacob. As of October 2, the answer for US viewers is yes, the saga is gone from Peacock.

The good news is that the move doesn’t leave Forks fans stranded. All five films begin streaming on Netflix in the US on October 1, which means the saga simply changed homes right on cue for Halloween viewing.

Is ‘Twilight’ Leaving Peacock for Good in the US?

Peacock’s October exit list is stacked with recognizable names, and the vampire saga is the headline loss. One roundup of October departures across streamers names several films from ‘The Twilight Saga’ among the biggest movies disappearing.

Another guide pins down the date for the original film, saying the fantasy romance leaves Peacock on September 30, while a separate list files ‘Twilight’ and its sequels under an October 1 departure. Either way, the films were already out of the lineup by the time October 2 arrived.

This kind of rotation is routine for streamers. Titles are removed when licensing agreements expire, so a departure like this usually reflects a contract ending rather than a verdict on how well the movies performed.

The saga has also never had a permanent address. The franchise has spent years bouncing from one streaming service to another, and it once left Peacock in January to land on Hulu the very next month. Peacock losing ‘Twilight’ is simply the latest stop on a very long road trip.

Which ‘Twilight’ Movies Were Removed From Peacock?

Peacock didn’t take just one film. The list of departures 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’. That means the entire five-film run is gone in one sweep, so there is no partial marathon waiting on the service.

The saga isn’t leaving alone either. ‘Split’, the ‘Star Trek’ films and ‘The Village’ were on the same October 1 exit list, and ‘Mean Girls’, ‘The Goonies’, ‘The Sixth Sense’ and ‘It Follows’ are also listed among the Peacock departures. For a service that is leaning into Halloween, losing so many crowd favorites at once is a notable dent.

It’s easy to see why the vampire romance is the departure that gets the most attention. The five movies earned more than 3.3 billion dollars at the worldwide box office, and Stephenie Meyer’s books have sold more than 160 million copies. A franchise that size rarely leaves a service without fans noticing.

Where to Watch ‘Twilight’ Now?

Netflix is the new destination for American viewers. All five movies return to Netflix in the US on October 1, with Netflix’s own October lineup listing every installment and Tudum confirming the full drop. TV Insider’s October streaming guide also lists the whole saga under new arrivals on Netflix.

It isn’t the first time Netflix has hosted the vampires either. After ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2’ joined on May 1, 2025, all five films were available and the saga led Netflix’s Top 10 charts for nearly a month. That earlier run suggests the audience for a Cullen rewatch is still very much alive.

There is more Meyer content on the horizon too. Lionsgate is developing a television adaptation of ‘Midnight Sun’, Meyer’s retelling of the original story from Edward’s perspective, though no release date has been announced. For now, the Netflix return gives fans a way to revisit where it all began.

Why ‘Twilight’ Streaming Depends on Your Location

Everything above applies to the United States. The announcement covers the US and does not establish Netflix availability in the UK, so fans elsewhere shouldn’t assume the same lineup. Peacock itself isn’t offered everywhere, so a removal there can mean very different things depending on where you live.

You can see the regional split on Netflix’s own pages. The listing for ‘The Twilight Saga New Moon’ displays a notice that the title currently isn’t available to watch in some countries. If you’re outside the US, checking your local Netflix library before planning a marathon is the safest move.

Timing matters just as much as geography. Licensing windows open and close without much warning, and the saga’s history shows it can change homes again before you finish a rewatch. Now that Peacock has let Edward and Bella walk out the door and Netflix has swept them back in, are you planning one big Halloween binge of all five ‘Twilight’ films, and which one do you expect to hold up best the second time around, tell us in the comments.
