The Twilight Zone is being rebooted by comedic-genius-turned horror-icon Jordan Peele, whose feature films Get Out and Us have quickly earned him legions of fans. You can see trailers for two episodes, starring Adam Scott and Kumail Nanjiani, right here…
Adam Scott of Parks And Recreation and The Good Place will star in a Twilight Zone episode entitled “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet”. It’s directed by Greg Yaitanes, and seems to be inspired by a William Shatner episode from the original series. You can watch the trailer right here…

In a post-Black Mirror world, delving into one-shot horror anthology stories like The Twilight Zone used to do seems like a real no-brainer. Peele seems like the perfect person to bring this show back to life, and we look forward to watching the whole thing.
The show is being made for CBS All Access in the USA. It doesn’t have a UK broadcaster yet, but with star-power of this wattage it shouldn’t struggle to find one.
We’ll keep you posted as we hear more.
