What’s next for visionary filmmaker Osgood Perkins in the wake of The Blackcoat’s Daughter, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, and Gretel & Hansel? One of his next projects may be an adaptation of A Head Full of Ghosts, and we’ve also learned this week that Perkins will be heading into “The Twilight Zone” for the second season of the CBS All Access reboot!
During a chat with The Daily Texan, Perkins spilled the beans.
“I wrote and I am directing an episode of “The Twilight Zone” for Jordan Peele and that gang. Jordan Peele’s company and I have been looking into something together for a while. I think I’m the only person who’s written and is directing their episode in an authorship kind of way. So I’m going to do a really kind of bananas meta “Twilight Zone” episode. It’s pretty good.”
Perkins also teased the episode in an interview with Screen Rant that ran last week.
“It’s a very far out thing that I can’t really believe they’re letting me do. But Jordan’s been really supportive of everything that I’m trying, and CBS, somehow, is into it! (Laughs) The next thing you can expect is a really out of sight Twilight Zone episode.”
The second season of the series will also feature an episode written by host/producer Jordan Peele, so it sounds like CBS All Access is bringing out the big guns for this one.
Perkins is also attached to Lionsgate’s Incident at Fort Bragg.
