(NewsNation) — Fans of the “Twilight” film series can soon relive seeing it in theaters for the first time once again.

On Thursday, entertainment company Lionsgate, which acquired Twilight’s production company Summit Entertainment, posted a teaser on social media announcing all five movies will return, with a link to tickets and a video with clips from all five movies.

The films are based off the eponymous novels by author Stephenie Meyer and center on the relationship of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen as she discovers that Edward is a vampire. Their love is tested by other vampires and werewolves and her friendship with Jacob Black, who is a werewolf.

The franchise’s five films were “Twilight” (2008), “New Moon” (2009), “Eclipse” (2010), “Breaking Dawn – Part 1” (2011), and “Breaking Dawn – Part 2” (2012).

“Don’t ask me what I’m doing this October, you’ll find me in the theater every weekend,” another person said.
