Paramount+ Has Removed the “Twilight Zone” Reboot from Its Streaming Service
It’s becoming increasingly – and concerningly – common for streaming services to pull original content for tax write down purposes, and in the wake of the brand new “Let the Right One In” series being taken off Showtime, Deadline reports that the Jordan Peele-hosted CBS reboot of “The Twilight Zone” has now been removed from its streaming service, Paramount+.
The “Twilight Zone” reboot originally aired on CBS All Access, which eventually became Paramount+. The show ran for just two seasons, premiering in 2019 and ending in 2020.
The good news? Both seasons of the Peele-hosted “The Twilight Zone” have been released onto DVD, so fans wanting to check out the series will continue to be able to do so.
As for Rod Serling’s original “Twilight Zone” series, that is still streaming on Paramount+.
From Executive Producers Jordan Peele and Simon Kinberg, the modern re-imagining of the classic brought the original series’ legacy of socially conscious storytelling to new audiences, exploring the human condition and holding a lens up to the culture of our times.
Today, Prime Video announced that Emily Mortimer (Relic), Manny Jacinto (The Acolyte), and Thomasin McKenzie (Victorian Psycho, Eileen) have joined the cast of Season Three of Fallout.
The hit series begins production on its third season this month in Los Angeles.
The series based on the video games tells “the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.“
The series stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets, Sweetpea), Aaron Moten (Emancipation, Father Stu), Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Frances Turner (The Boys), Annabel O’Hagan (Rent Free), and Dave Register (FBI).
Aaron Paul (Anything But Ghosts) has also joined the cast for Season Three, as previously announced.
Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators, and showrunners.
