Hear ye, hear ye! The Twilight Saga has sunk its teeth into Netflix — all five films in the series have landed on the streamer. They’re perfect for reminiscing over the campiness 2000s, basking in the glory of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart‘s early careers, or a drunk movie night. Even if you didn’t read the novels (which, you should, even if there are over 2,000 pages of content), these films are ripe for a movie night. But there’s a slight issue you may encounter: the movies aren’t numbered, so the order may get a little confusing. We can help in that department.

Twilight consisted of four books written by Stephenie Meyer, all following the love story/triangle between Bella Swan (Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Pattinson), occasionally including the dashing werewolf Jacob (Taylor Lautner). The movies were the same, but with one minor twist — the final book was so long and winding that it had to be split into two just to wrap the story into one neat conclusion. But that happened with a lot of teen dramas at the time; remember The Hunger Games and Harry Potter?

Besides those last two films, Twilight‘s order is pretty vague. Let’s unpack how to watch The Twilight Saga in order.

What is the chronological order of The Twilight Saga? How to watch Twilight movies in chronological order:

The first Twilight film was released in 2008 — and the rest, as they say, is history. Here’s the order in which all of the Twilight films were released:

How to watch the Twilight movies in canonical order:

The canonical order of The Twilight Saga is actually the same as the chronological order. In basic terms: the list above is how you should watch the Twilight films if you’re looking for the correct order.

What about Midnight Sun? Where can I stream the sixth Twilight film?

Sorry, no can do on that front. Stephenie Meyer may have written Midnight Sun, the fifth book in the saga (which would mark the sixth movie, since Breaking Dawn was split into two films), but that never got the adaptation treatment. There’s a romance movie on Netflix called Midnight Sun, but you won’t see RPatz, KStew, or any vampires at all, actually, because it’s not in the Twilight Universe. Keep waiting on that sixth film.

Are the Twilight movies streaming on Netflix? Where to watch Twilight movies:

Yes, as of last week, all of the Twilight films are available to stream on Netflix. If you don’t have a Netflix subscription and still want to watch, the films are also available to rent from $3.99 or purchase from $9.99 each over at the Google Play Store, iTunes, Prime Video, Vudu, and Microsoft Store.
