Julie McNamara, EVP Original Content at CBS All Access said:
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. 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.
I don't know about you, but this reboot of THE TWILIGHT ZONE has totally made my must-watch TV list. I've seen every episode every Thursday when it airs, and I plan to continue throughout the rest of this season. Each episode seems to be better than the next. Loving it!
Here's the show's official rundown via CBS All Access:
Next stop ahead The Twilight Zone. CBS All Access' upcoming reimagining of the original series, which premiered in 1959, will debut in early 2019. Jordan Peele will serve as host and narrator of the new series, a role made famous by creator Rod Serling, who used socially conscious storytelling to explore the human condition and culture of the times.
CBS Television Studios produce THE TWILIGHT ZONE in association with Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions and Simon Kinberg’s Genre Films. Peele and Kinberg serve as executive producers along with Win Rosenfeld, Audrey Chon, Glen Morgan, Carol Serling, Rick Berg, and Greg Yaitanes. The first season is airing on-demand at CBS All Access. The series’ first five episodes are available with new episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays.
