The Twilight Zone
CBS All Access
New Series!

The Twilight Zone premiered on Oct. 2, 1959 on CBS. The series took viewers to another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind.

In 2019 viewers will enter another dimension with Jordan Peele — who also serves as narrator à la Rod Serling — and Simon Kinberg’s modern re-imagining of the classic. CBS All Access’ The Twilight Zone anthology series will bring the original show’s legacy of socially conscious storytelling to modern day audiences, exploring the human condition and holding a lens up to the culture of our times. Following the series premiere, new episodes will be available on demand weekly on Thursdays beginning April 11.
