Twilight: New Moon, a fantasy romance directed by Chris Weitz starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, airs on TMC on Monday, October 5, 2026 at 9:25 PM. This second installment cements the love triangle that will shape the rest of the saga.
Following the events of Twilight, Chapter 1: Fascination, Bella Swan watches her relationship with Edward Cullen come to a sudden halt. Convinced he’s putting her in danger, Edward leaves Forks with his family and asks Bella to carry on with her life as if he had never existed.
Deeply affected by the breakup, Bella grows closer to Jacob Black, her childhood friend. As a new supernatural community emerges around Forks, their bond deepens. Jacob gradually becomes a central figure in Bella’s life, even as she keeps seeking dangerous situations that make her feel connected to Edward.
The film also expands the saga’s mythology by introducing the Volturi, an ancient vampire clan based in Italy. Michael Sheen, Dakota Fanning, and Jamie Campbell Bower join Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner.
Directed by Chris Weitz and written by Melissa Rosenberg, the film adapts Stephenie Meyer's second novel. It places greater emphasis on Jacob and the Quileutes while laying the groundwork for the love triangle between Bella, Edward, and Jacob.
