Millions of people watching the Super Bowl got their first look at the teaser trailer for CBS All Access and Jordan Peele's upcoming reboot of THE TWILIGHT ZONE. And if that wasn't nearly enough for you guys, today we have the first season's trailer for you to check out! The first season of the revival will consist of 10 episodes. Two episodes will be released on April 1st, with the remaining eight being released weekly on Thursdays.
Most details on these episodes have been kept under wraps, but here's what we do know: Sanaa Lathan is in an episode titled Rewind, Adam Scott stars in Nightmare at 30,000 Feet, a remake of the classic Twilight Zone story Nightmare at 20,000 Feet; Jacob Tremblay, Erica Tremblay, John Cho, and Allison Tolman are in an episode called The Wunderkind, about a child President.
In addition to that, Steven Yeun and Greg Kinnear star in an episode called The Traveler, which is about two cops and a mysterious traveler (Yeun being the traveler in question); and Kumail Nanjiani is in an unspecified episode. DeWanda Wise, Jessica Williams, Lucinda Dryzek, Jefferson White, and Jonathan Whitesell make up the cast of another unspecified episode, and yet another episode stars Taissa Farmiga, Rhea Seehorn, Luke Kirby, Ike Barinholtz, and Percy Hynes-White. THE FIRST PURGE director Gerard McMurray directed at least one episode.
There's also an episode called Last Shuttle, and that (at least) has a vague synopsis:
a group of astronauts dealing with a crisis.
The Twilight Zone is being produced by Peele's company Monkeypaw, Simon Kinberg's Genre Films, and CBS Television Studios. Peele and Kinberg are executive producing the show with Win Rosenfeld, Audrey Chon, Rick Berg, Marco Ramirez, Greg Yaitanes, and Carol Serling. Hosted and narrated by GET OUT's Jordan Peele, the new Twilight Zone will premiere on the CBS All Access streaming service on Monday, April 1st.
