Twilight, Chapter 1: Fascination, the first film in the famous fantasy saga, is airing on TF1 Séries Films on Wednesday, October 21, 2026 at 21:10. Directed by Catherine Hardwicke and led by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the feature debuted in French cinemas on January 7, 2009.
Bella Swan, 17, leaves Arizona to move in with her father in Forks, a rain-soaked town in Washington. At her new high school, she meets Edward Cullen, a student as captivating as he is enigmatic. Before long, their chemistry unveils a startling truth: he’s part of a vampire clan trying to live among humans.
Adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s novel Fascination with a screenplay by Melissa Rosenberg, the film blends teen romance with a fantastical narrative. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson star opposite Billy Burke, Ashley Greene, Peter Facinelli, Nikki Reed, and Taylor Lautner, who portrays Jacob Black.
This opening chapter lays the foundations of the Twilight saga by introducing the Cullens, the triangle formed by Bella, Edward, and Jacob, and the supernatural rules that will shape the films to come.
The airing on TF1 Séries Films lets you revisit the starting point of a five-film franchise, ahead of Temptation, Hesitation and the two parts of Revelation.
