The hugely influential show was originally created by Rod Serling, and ran for five seasons on CBS from 1959 to 1964, winning three Emmys during its 156-episode run. It’s credited as an inspiration for shows like The X-Files and Black Mirror.
It’s also not the first time the show has been slated for a reboot. An ill-fated attempt in 2002 was cancelled after one season, while there was also word of a revival in 2012 in the hands of X-Men director Bryan Singer.
And so it’s time to prepare yourself for yet another reboot. A reboot not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous reboot whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop: The Twilight Zone…
I never would’ve guessed after Key and Peele ended that Jordan Peele would be the exciting new face of horror.
