The post claimed that Renesmee Cullen, daughter of Edward and Bella, would be the lead in the movie and would confront intense challenges as a hybrid vampire-human.

Twilight Saga Rising Sun is not releasing as a new movie under the franchise

As mentioned previously, there is no new upcoming movie from the franchise. The Facebook page that posted about the same covers fake and satirical content. In addition, the content is not based on officially confirmed or verified news.

The post shared information about the supposed plot of the film and further sheds light on the characters involved in the plot. It read:

"In The Twilight Saga Rising Sun, Renesmee Cullen steps into her destiny as a powerful hybrid, challenging the Volturi’s iron grip on the supernatural world. Edward, Bella, and the entire Cullen family, led by Carlisle, unite with old allies for a breathtaking battle against Aro’s cunning schemes."

The user further shared false information about the film's release date. The user mentioned in the fake post:

"Experience a dazzling saga of love, loyalty, and epic showdowns in a world where one hybrid could change everything. Coming to cinemas December 2025."

This information stands false as the franchise only includes a total of five released films: Twilight (2008), The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009), The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010), The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011), and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 (2012).

No new film has been announced under the franchise as of June 30, 2025. However, an animated series based on the franchise is set to be released by Netflix.
