Watch Twilight in Order

Watch the Twilight movies in release order, starting with Twilight (2008) and continuing through The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012). The series spans 5 films, released between 2008 and 2012. Audiences rate the franchise 6.2/10 on average.

What order should you watch Twilight?

For most viewers, release order is the recommended way to watch Twilight. This is how the story was crafted and revealed to audiences — earlier films seed details, callbacks, and twists that pay off in later entries. Watching in release order preserves those reveals and matches the pacing the filmmakers intended.

Twilight largely tracks its own in-universe chronology, so release order and chronological order overlap closely. You can use either without losing much, though release order is still the safest first watch.
