Twilight Movies in Order
There are some sagas and franchises, like Star Wars and Planet of the Apes, where you can jump in anywhere and immerse yourself in their fictional universe. The Twilight movies, however, are best watched in order by their release date.
From the original Twilight film to Breaking Dawn – Part 2 (2012), here’s how to watch the Twilight movies in order.
1. Twilight (2008)
Welcome to Forks, Washington — a small town under a near-constant cover of clouds and rain with a population of 3,120 people, including the Cullen family and Bella Swan.
While the Cullens have been in Forks for a while, Bella is new(ish) to town after moving back in with her father for the first time since she was young. Once their paths cross, there’s no looking back.
2. The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
After another dangerous encounter between Bella and the vampires, Edward makes the heartbreaking decision to leave Bella and Forks in an effort to keep the person he loves safe from the dangers of his world. Emotionally broken beyond repair, Bella finds solace in her friendship with Jacob Black — but can she really leave behind her one true love?
3. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010)
There’s only one thing Jacob and Edward have in common — their love for Bella. In this third Twilight installment, the two enemies have no choice but to work together if they want to keep her safe from a vengeful vampire out for Bella’s blood.
4. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 (2011)
It’s finally time for the wedding of the decade — or the wedding of the century if you’re a Cullen. However, Edward and Bella’s romantic island honeymoon is cut short by a shocking surprise no one saw coming (not even Alice).
5. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2 (2012)
The world looks different for Bella the vampire, but there’s no time to adjust to her new life. The Cullens must act fast in gathering allies to protect their new family member, Renesme, from the Volturi.
