Peacock Is Removing the ‘Twilight’ Saga From Its Library as September Ends

Yes, Peacock is removing ‘Twilight’. A roundup of titles departing the service lists the original 2008 romance as leaving Peacock on September 30, 2026. The rest of the franchise is listed alongside it.

The exit is the latest stop in a long run of platform changes for the franchise. For anyone who started a rewatch this fall, here is what the departure covers, where the films have been, and where viewers can turn next.

‘Twilight’ Leaving Peacock This Month

The same listing says ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’, directed by David Slade, will no longer stream on Peacock after September 30, 2026. ‘Breaking Dawn Part 1’ and ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2’ are also scheduled to depart on that date. ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ appears in the same roundup, which makes this a removal of the full series rather than a single title.

Peacock has been through this with the franchise before. In an earlier rotation, all five films were set to leave the service on August 31, 2023. That departure was part of a long list of titles cycling out at the time.

The reporting reviewed does not offer an explanation for the latest removal, and neither Peacock nor the rights holder is quoted on the decision. Catalog changes of this kind are common on streaming services, and the film library often moves according to licensing windows. Readers should treat the date as the scheduled exit listed in the October roundup.

‘Twilight’ Streaming History Across Platforms

The films have rarely stayed in one place for long. One report described the saga as having spent years bouncing from one streaming service to another, with Peacock and Hulu among the most common landing spots. That pattern helps explain why a Peacock removal does not necessarily signal a long absence.

In early 2024, all five films left Peacock on January 31 and moved to Hulu the next day, as shown in Hulu’s February 2024 content list. The saga then arrived back on Peacock on February 1 of the following year, just ahead of Valentine’s Day.

Netflix entered the picture next. All five films were added to Netflix at the start of May, for the first time in quite a while. Netflix later announced that the movies would leave at the end of June, and a new streaming home had not been named at that point.

Where to Watch ‘Twilight’ After the Peacock Exit

The most reliable option during gaps between streaming deals has been renting the films. After the Netflix exit, one guide noted the five movies could be rented for just under four dollars on Prime Video, YouTube, Google Play, Apple TV and Fandango at Home. Prices and availability can change, so it is worth checking each storefront directly.

There is also precedent for the studio making the films available for free. In a Deadline exclusive, the outlet reported that YouTube would stream all five films for free on a loop through Lionsgate’s official ‘Twilight’ channel from September 7 through September 14. That event was tied to a theatrical re-release planned for October and the 20th anniversary of the first novel’s publication.

Subscription services may not stay out of the picture for long. After the Netflix departure, one outlet noted the franchise has had an on-and-off relationship with Netflix over the years, leaving open the chance of a return. Given how often the films have changed hands, a new streaming deal would fit the established pattern.

What Comes Next for the ‘Twilight’ Saga Films

The franchise remains a strong draw for streaming services. The five films collectively grossed more than $3.4 billion worldwide, and they are based on the book series by Stephenie Meyer. That track record is one reason the library keeps landing on major platforms.

New projects are also in motion. One report described Netflix as developing an animated reboot. Deadline noted that Lionsgate’s TV adaptation of Meyer’s novel ‘Midnight Sun’ has been picked up to series at Netflix. Lionsgate holds creative control of the property.

For now, the practical answer is that the saga is leaving Peacock and has no confirmed subscription home in the sources reviewed. With ‘Twilight’ once again between platforms while Netflix builds new projects around the Cullens and their world, which service do you think should finally give the original five films a permanent place to live?
