Twilight’s Taylor Lautner Might Be Headed For Television, And People Have Polarizing Thoughts About The Premise Of The Supernatural Show

Following a consistent acting career that peaked with the memorable character Jacob Black in “The Twilight Saga”, Taylor Lautner chose to step away from the spotlight. Now, this former youthful star is eager to return to the screen with a fresh supernatural-themed television series. As is often the case nowadays, opinions about the concept of this show and Lautner’s potential participation are quite divided among people.

Based on Variety’s report, Amazon MGM Studios and Taylor Lautner are working on a project titled “Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter.” This metasupernatural series is expected to feature Lautner in a heightened version of his own character. He will be portrayed as someone recruited into a clandestine group of werewolf hunters due to his extensive knowledge and on-screen experience with the supernatural creature, gained from playing one for several years. Consequently, he finds himself leading a dual existence: a Hollywood actor during the daytime and a werewolf hunter at night.

Fans of Lautner, who were once adorned with “Team Jacob” apparel during the peak of The Twilight Saga, are undoubtedly thrilled at the prospect of his potential comeback to acting. For many, this enthusiasm arises from the simple pleasure of witnessing the actor in action again, as exemplified by @KatlaAncrum, who expressed her excitement in a tweet with mere words: “Can’t wait!

You know what hell yeah

It appears that other fans are fully embracing the quirky idea, just like @potatosalad199 who referenced a well-known meme in their comment by saying:

I find myself seated here, as Amazon staff express their concerns and request my departure, due to the lack of a confirmed release date. However, I am unable to comply with their wishes, as I am firmly rooted in place.

Yet, there’s a niche group of enthusiasts of the movie The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, who admit that the storyline is somewhat offbeat. Nevertheless, considering the current trend where it seems like every fresh and upcoming production is either a spin-off or a reboot, perhaps being a tad peculiar could be beneficial. This sentiment was echoed by @tj_isdaname with the use of an appropriate “Count me in, dudes” GIF from The Office.

In a somewhat unexpected twist, I find myself eagerly anticipating this film, despite its apparent lack of intellectual depth. At times, we all need to let go and indulge in the absurd and amusing – and this movie promises to deliver exactly that. So, buckle up for a wild ride as we dive into an unapologetically silly world, where laughter is guaranteed!

It seems that not everyone shares high hopes for the prospect of “Taylor Lautner: Werewolf Hunter.” Despite being one of the most popular franchises of the 2010s, “The Twilight Saga” and its cast have garnered a substantial number of detractors over time. The announcement of this new project has undoubtedly stirred up some criticism, as exemplified by @averybooks, who recently commented on Lautner’s limited appearances in Hollywood lately.

he’s literally creating the new meaning of the word jobless my god

A less critical perspective might be: The tone seems quite strong, given that Lautner isn’t the only Hollywood actor taking on meta-roles. For instance, in 2022, Nicolas Cage portrayed a fictionalized version of himself in “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent“, which garnered praise from both critics and audiences. So, perhaps we should reserve judgment until we’ve given it a chance.

Despite some skepticism, others find it difficult to accept such an unusual concept, even questioning whether artificial intelligence might be involved, as AshlaCosplay put it.

Did they ask chat for ideas because they don’t want to pay a real writer?

Nevertheless, it seems that the most vocal criticisms stem from TV enthusiasts, who lament the cancellation of their cherished, original programs, while what appears to be unconventional concepts such as this one are given the go-ahead. In the words of @GianzGmez, they find themselves exasperated by this development.

It seems you’re making these productions – such as Stitchers, Swamp Thing, Constantine, Prodigal Son, Forever, and Dead Boy Detectives – canceled. Meanwhile, you move forward with projects that some might consider less appealing or high-quality. Is this an accurate summary?

Taylor Lautner’s prospective series, titled “Werewolf Hunter,” isn’t the initial one to garner mixed reactions from television audiences, and it’s unlikely to be the only one in the future.

Although it seems doubtful that the show will air on the 2025 TV schedule, I can’t help but harbor a small hope that it will make its way to our screens, giving us another chance to see Lautner on television. In the meantime, you can catch him in the Twilight movies by subscribing to Peacock and streaming them online.
