CBS All Access Officially Orders “Twilight Zone” Reboot from Producer Jordan Peele
Just about a month after learning that CBS was developing a new “Twilight Zone” series for their All Access streaming service, THR reports today that CBS All Access has officially handed out a series order to the small screen reboot!
An episode count and premiere date have not been determined, the site notes.
The new series will be produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions and Simon Kinberg’s Genre Films. Peele, Kinberg and Ramirez will exec produce for the series and collaborate on the premiere episode. Win Rosenfeld and Audrey Chon will also serve as executive producers.
“Too many times this year it’s felt we were living in a twilight zone, and I can’t think of a better moment to reintroduce it to modern audiences,” said Peele.
Marco Ramirez (“Daredevil”) is attached as showrunner.
“The Twilight Zone,” created and hosted by Rod Serling, ran as a series on CBS from 1959 to 1964. The show melded fantasy, science-fiction, and horror elements with Serling serving as the exec producer and writing or co-writing 92 of the show’s 156 episodes along with delivering monologues at the beginning and end of each episode.
