Twilight
Twelve years after they leave the young adult franchise behind , theTwilightTV show wo n’t see one actor reprize their theatrical role . Multiple attempt to develop a fresh installment in the franchise have conk over the geezerhood , until it was announced in September 2024 that Netflix was working on an animated adjustment of Stephanie Meyer ’s bestselling refreshing serial . TheTwilightshow ’s storywill primarily adapt the 2020 novel , Midnight Sun , which suffice as a retelling of the original novel from Edward Cullen ’s perspective .
During a late consultation withTV Insiderto discuss the Peacock horror - thriller showTeacup , Chaske Spencer was asked about his thoughts on the upcomingTwilightshow . The actor , who played La Push drawing card Sam Uley in the original moving picture , express surprise to learn that they were making an animated adaption of the 2020 novel , before survive on to corroborate he wo n’t be reprize his role in the show due to feel he is " too older for Sam " . See what Spencer said below :
They ’re making an anime serial on Netflix ? Oh , well , I ’ll watch it . I ’ll check it out . Yeah , I ’ll depend at it . I ’m too old . I ’m too old for Sam . [ Laughs ] Even the voice … I think you could find a younger , better - in - shape doer to do that .
What Spencer’s Absence Means For The Twilight Show
The Team May Have Other Ideas In Mind
Though he may not be considered as important of a fiber as the likes of Edward , Bella and Jacob , Sam ’s inclusion in theTwilightshowwill finally depend on how faithful it wants to be to Meyers ' beginning material . In the original book , Sam is the one who , through his antipathy of the Cullen family , inadvertently puts Bella on the track to getting to know them and learning of their vampire nature . Subsequent Good Book expanded on his tragic backstory and role , though consideringMidnight Sunis a reimagining of the original , it would make gumption if Sam does n’t appear at all .
Although the Twilight films were fairly accurate to the novel , there were some distorted volume here and now , and the TV show reboot can fix that .
That being state , if Sam does appear intheTwilightTV show , it would n’t be the first time the franchise has recast the part . In the 2008 picture show , Solomon Trimble played a character simply credited as " Jacob ’s friend " , and it ’s often been assumed he was meant to be Sam , as he generally fit the character beats of Sam in the original novel . However , occur the time of the first continuation , New Moon , Spencer would make his franchise debut and carry on the role throughBreaking Dawn — Part 2 .

The other factor at play is whether the creative squad behind theTwilightTV show want to bring back any actors from the moving picture . Unlike fellow Netflix revive reimagining , Scott Pilgrim Takes Off , much of the cast have famously seek to distance themselves from the young grownup franchisein the time since it ended , and as such likely are n’t interested in generate for the show . to boot , with the show create the possibility of rebooting the dealership in a Modern direction , the originative team will likely want player who will be open to playing their roles for multiple seasons .
Our Take On Spencer’s Declined Twilight Show Return
It Leaves Him Time To Focus On Other Projects
While theTwilightfranchise is certainly a expectant thing for any role player to have under their belts , Spencer has done mint in the days since that I ’d wish to see him continue to focus on . In addition toPeacock’sTeacupseason 1 endingon a major cliffhanger , I also really revel his turning as Maya ’s uncle in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’sEchoand would enjoy to see him expand on that , and am also scheme to see what he does in the upcomingWind Riversequel .
