One of the most iconic, influential, and disturbing tv shows of the century is back with a new modern look. “The Twilight Zone” aired from 1959 to 1964 on CBS, introducing the country to many now-classic science-fiction and fantasy tropes. Now, CBS is giving the supernatural series an upgrade and bringing it back the year of its 60th anniversary. And who better to host in Rod Serling‘s place than Jordan Peele, the genius behind the psychological thriller “Get Out“?
We got a quick, mind-boggling teaser during the Superbowl that had us all doing a double take, but now we get a real look at what’s the come on CBS All-Access. Jordan Peele, of course, makes an appearance, along with Adam Scott (“Parks and Rec,” “The Good Place“) who is seen on an airplane in the trailer. Perhaps a throwback to the episode “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet“? Others who are already attached to the project are Ike Barinholtz, John Cho, Lucinda Dryzek, Taissa Farmiga, Greg Kinnear, Luke Kirby, Sanaa Lathan, Kumail Nanjiani, Rhea Seehorn, Alison Tolman, Jacob Tremblay, Jefferson White, Jonathan Whitesell, Jessica Williams, DeWanda Wise and Steven Yeun, many of whom we get a glimpse of in this newest trailer. And of course, the iconic theme song that fills everyone’s hearts with a little nostalgia and fear at the same time plays over the last half of the promo.

Though many have tried to recreate it, like the recent “Black Mirror” series on Netflix, there really is only one ‘Twilight Zone.’ Even with the same name and same broadcasting company, this new revival is going to have to tread carefully and do their best to stick to the original mood and uniqueness. With Jordan Peele frontrunning though, it looks like “The Twilight Zone” will be in good hands. We have high expectations, Mr. Peele!
“The Twilight Zone” will be available April 1, 2019, on CBS All-Access.
