We’re five episodes into the first season of CBS All Access’ “The Twilight Zone,” executive produced and hosted by Jordan Peele, and we’ve learned today that more is on the way!
CBS All Access has just renewed the reboot series for a second season.
“Jordan Peele and Simon Kinberg’s reimagining of ‘The Twilight Zone’ is off to an amazing start on CBS All Access, driving the most viewers on its premiere day for an original series to date,” Julie McNamara, executive vice president of original content at CBS All Access, said. “Jordan, Simon, the creative team and cast have done a phenomenal job translating the series’ legacy of socially conscious storytelling for modern-day audiences. They are master storytellers, and we look forward to bringing fans further into ‘The Twilight Zone’ with a second season.”
New episodes of “The Twilight Zone” premiere every Thursday through CBS All Access.
The new series is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions and Simon Kinberg’s Genre Films. Peele, Kinberg and Ramirez executive produce for the series. Win Rosenfeld and Audrey Chon also serve as executive producers.
“The Twilight Zone,” created and hosted by Rod Serling, originally 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.
