Twihards, rise! Nearly 13 years after Twilight [2] first debuted in theatres, all five movies from the vampire-themed franchise are finding a permanent home on Netflix. On Monday, the streaming giant announced that the entire Twilight Saga will be available for subscribers [3] in the US to watch starting July 16, so fans old and new can revisit the hotly contested Team Edward (Robert Pattinson) vs. Team Jacob (Taylor Lautner) debate [4] and relive Bella Swan's (Kristen Stewart) transformation [5] from lip-biting mortal to sleepless, sparkling vampire.
The Twilight [6] films have graced TV networks like Freeform for weekend marathons on occasion throughout the years, but having them on Netflix means planning at-home viewing parties just got 10 times easier. We crunched the numbers, and it would take 634 minutes, aka roughly 10 and a half hours, to watch all five movies sequentially without stopping, so even if you factor in bathroom and food breaks, it's totally doable for a single weekend day. Kindly see below for live footage of us sprinting to our couches come July 16.
