Overview
- A casting document verified by outlets shows auditions are underway for the recurring voice roles of Jacob Black and his father Billy Black, a development reported on Friday.
- The casting call requests male Native American actors and asks for adult performers to voice teen Jacob, and it explicitly allows on-camera actors without prior voiceover experience.
- Creative credits attached to the project include Stephenie Meyer as an executive producer and Sinead Daly listed as showrunner, with Lynn Wang named supervising director and Melissa Kostenbauder as casting director.
- The sheet lists tentative production and recording dates from August 2026 through May 2027 with Los Angeles as the hub, and industry timelines make a late-2027 debut unlikely and 2028 or later more probable.
- Midnight Sun adapts Meyer’s companion novel that retells Twilight from Edward Cullen’s perspective, and the Native American casting emphasis revives past concerns about Quileute representation while offering a chance for more culturally appropriate casting.
