However, The Twilight Saga’s critical reception was mixed, with some elements, including the action and portrayal of its vampires, being parodied.

While the Twilight movies did not deviate from some character depictions, a television show could present a different take on them, attracting new viewers in the process.

Although many fans seem upset by the reports, there is very little known about the show, so opinions can change down the line, and it can still prove to be successful.
