Reading aTwilightbook takes Facinelli back to his time portraying Carlisle, and readingMidnight Sunwon’t just bring back memories, but will also make him feel like he’s doing something wrong.

Our Take On Peter Facinelli’s Comments About Midnight Sun
The Book Delves Deeper Into The Cullens' Family Dynamics
Peter Facinelli is right to not readMidnight Sunif he feels like he’ll be reading from his character’s perspective. Since Bella isn’t always surrounded by all the Cullens,Twilightonly depicts some moments of family conflict and bonding between the Cullens. However,Midnight Sun’s depiction of the Cullens is much more detailed.
Edward discusses his feelings about his family, including his father, and if Facinelli reads from Carlisle’s point of view, he’ll feel as uncomfortable as he expects to. Even though the book isn’t written in diary format, it can feel like reading his diary for anyone who knows Edward beforehand, because it tells the same story again.
Fans can expect a release date for the show to be announced at TUDUM later this year.
However, if any cast members return for the newTwilightTV show, they’ll have to readMidnight Sunand be forced to tackle this uncomfortable feeling. Since years have passed since the original movies were released, andthe characters are going to be the same age, it’ll be best for the showrunners to choose an entirely new cast.
