‘Twilight’ is a major part of Lionsgate’s library. In 2017, five years after ‘Breaking Dawn: Part 2’ concluded Meyer’s film adaptation, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer told Wall Street during an earnings call that “there are a lot more stories to be told, and we’re ready to tell them when our creators are ready to tell those stories,” referring to both ‘Twilight’ and ‘The Hunger Games’ franchises. 📚🎥

Lionsgate TV also recently announced plans to revive ‘Spartacus’ with a sequel series from creator Steven S. DeKnight. Lionsgate TV produced both ‘Spartacus: Blood and Sand’ and the prequel miniseries ‘Gods of the Arena,’ as the franchise remains a valuable part of the studio’s library.
