It's been almost a decade since Twilight flew into theaters and captured the hearts of Twi-hards around the world. And though, sadly, it doesn't seem like a reunion is going to happen anytime soon, you can catch all the stars in their new projects. Chances are, that'll quench your bloodlust.
Kristen Stewart stars in Twilight as the shy, clumsy ingenue Bella Swan, who falls in love with a super dreamy vampire. Stewart reprised her role in all four sequels, which see Bella transforming into a beautiful, strong and unbreakable vampire herself by the end of Breaking Dawn: Part 2. So, what's she been up to since then?
Since leaving behind the undead, Stewart has been making headlines both on and off the screen. Most notably, she won a BAFTA Award for Best Actress in Clouds of Sils Maria last year. She also premiered two films at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival - Personal Shopper and Woody Allen's Cafe Society. Since ending her off-screen romance with her co-lead, Robert Pattinson, Stewart has labeled herself as "sexually fluid." Most recently, she's in a relationship with film producer Alicia Cargile.
It's hard to remember a time before Robert Pattinson was a household name, synonymous with the mind-reading heartthrob vampire Edward Cullen. After wandering the world, aimless and alone in a house of coupled-up vampires, Edward finally finds his true match in the fragile human Bella. But what has Rob been up to since then?
Robert Pattinson has had a number of smaller indie roles since leaving the Twilight blockbuster franchise behind: he played a rich sociopath in Cosmopolis a turn-of-the-century lothario in Bel Ami, a young circus hand in Water for Elephants, and a jungle explorer in The Lost City of Z, alongside Charlie Hunnam. He's now engaged to a fellow Brit, singer/producer FKA Twigs. Congrats!
Taylor Lautner plays everyone's favorite werewolf, Jacob Black, a warm-blooded, motorcycle-riding best friend to Bella. Though he fails to win Bella's affections, Jacob remains a part of the family, imprinting on (aka, discovering he's soulmates with) Edward and Bella's daughter, Renesmee.
Taylor Lautner has made the surprising jump from buff action hero to comedy sidekick. He's teamed up with Adam Sandler in Grown Ups 2, and in the most watched Netflix movie of all time (according to Netflix), The Ridiculous 6, as well as the UK series Cuckoo.
Peter Facinelli watches over his own vampire family as the soft spoken and compassionate Dr. Carlisle Cullen. Having watched too many people die on his watch, Carlisle turns Edward, Esme and Rosalie into vampires in order to save them.
Though Peter Facinelli had a bunch of memorable movie moments before his days as a vampire, these days, he's all about the small screen. After a short stint on Glee and on the Showtime series Nurse Jackie, he now plays Max Lord, the billionaire who funds the Justice League, on Supergirl.
Elizabeth Reaser plays the loving vampire matriarch Esme Cullen, who always has a smile on her face and some kind words for her motley crew of children. But what's she up to now?
Elizabeth Reaser has been keeping busy with a few recognizable credits to her name - The Good Wife, Mad Men, and True Detective are just a few of the places you can spot her.
Nikki Reed plays the biting vampire sister Rosalie Cullen. Her icy heart melts when Bella and Edward have a child of their own, something she's always longed for.
Nikki Reed can be found on your small screen now as all-American seamstress Betsy Ross on Sleepy Hollow. But she's not done with vampires. Her husband is Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder.
Kellan Lutz plays meathead jock vampire Emmett Cullen, whose brute strength is an asset in the Cullens' many battles against the nomads, the werewolves, and the Volturi. So, what's he doing with those muscles nowadays?
Kellan Lutz is still putting his muscles to good use, starring as a Greek god in The Immortals, playing the son of Zeus in The Legend of Hercules, and buddying around with every action hero in The Expendables 3.
Ashley Greene shines as the spunky, fashion-obsessed Alice Cullen. Her clairvoyant gift ultimately saves the Cullen family from being killed by Volturi, but we remember her best as Edward's annoying sister, who constantly wants to give Bella a makeover.
Ashley Greene hasn't stopped being a badass. Her most recent roles include Mia, a beautiful and intelligent former NSA contractor on the show Rogue. She's alsothe voice of Batgirl for the new Arkham video games.
Jackson Rathbone plays the silent but deadly brother Jasper Cullen, whose special talent is reading others' emotions. But what special talent is Jackson exploring now?
Jackson Rathbone has a few impressive credits to his name - S. Darko and MTV's Finding Carter to name a few. But his main focus these days has been being a dad. His wife just gave birth to their second daughter. Congrats, Jackson!
Anna Kendrick steals every scene in Twilight with her sarcastic portrayal of Jessica, a normal high school student who thinks the Cullens are pretty weird.
Since leaving Forks High behind, Anna Kendrick has been a busy bee! She starred alongside George Clooney in Up In The Air, which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Oh, and she's also the musical queen, starring in Pitch Perfect, Pitch Perfect 2, Into The Woods, and The Last Five Years.
You may remember Christian Serratos as Bella's best friend, Angela (pictured here on the far right), an independent woman who doesn't need to wait for a boy to ask her to prom. But what's she up to these days?
Christian Serratos hasn't left the undead too far behind. You can catch her on The Walking Dead as Rosita, a brave survivor of the zombie outbreak.
As James, Cam Gigandet leads a crew of nomadic vampires who think of Bella as a tasty snack. He meets a quick and violent death at the hands of Edward before he can act on his urges. So, what's Cam been up to since?
Since being ripped to shreds by Edward Cullen, Cam Gigandet has really leaned into his bad-boy persona, scoring brooding roles in Easy A, The Roommate, Burlesque, and the highly-anticipated The Magnificent Seven.
In a role formerly held by Rachelle Lefevre in Twilight and New Moon, Bryce Dallas Howard stepped in to play James' vindictive girlfriend Victoria in Eclipse. Victoria attempts revenge on Edward by attacking Bella, but doesn't anticipate the vampires and werewolves that team up against her.
Since then, Bryce Dallas Howard has continued to wow us with roles in giant blockbusters - Terminator Salvation, The Help and Jurassic World, just to name a few.
Michael Sheen plays Aro, the lead of the vampire police, the Volturi, in New Moon and Breaking Dawn: Parts 1 and 2. He believes the Cullens, with all their gifts and talents, are a threat to his leadership. Ultimately, he decides not to fight them because he foresees it would lead to his own death. Sheen originally took the role because his daughter was a fan of the franchise.
Michael Sheen has continued to explore the roles that intrigue him. Most recently, he stars as the titular character, Dr. Masters, on the Showtime series Masters of Sex with Lizzy Caplan.
Child actor Dakota Fanning killed in the role of Jane, a sadistic Volturi vampire who can cause anyone immeasurable pain by maintaining eye contact with them.
Dakota Fanning has been acting since she was 5 years old, and doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon. To date, she has 56 credits to her name, and she just turned 20. Her co-stars are a long list of Hollywood royalty including Ewan McGregor, Richard Gere and Emma Thompson.
Rami Malek plays a blink-and-you-might-miss-him character in Breaking Dawn: Part 2. He appears as Benjamin, a weather-controlling vampire, who comes to witness the rapid growth of Bella and Edward's daughter.
These days, Rami Malek has come out from the ensemble and is headlining his own breakout show, USA's Mr. Robot, where he plays a computer hacker recruited into an elaborate conspiracy.
You might remember Mackenzie Foy as Renesmee, the fast-aging, vampire-human hybrid child of Edward and Bella
Since aging too rapidly as a vampire hybrid, Mackenzie Foy has only grown into a more beautiful working actress. Though Breaking Dawn: Parts 1 and 2 were her big break, she's gone on to star in some giant movies including The Conjuring and Interstellar.
