All 10 episodes of the original anthology series will drop at once, the service announced today. The series’ official trailer and key art was also revealed today in celebration of National Twilight Zone Day.

The original “The Twilight Zone” series premiered on Oct. 2, 1959 on CBS. It took viewers to another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. The show became a worldwide phenomenon and sent fans on a journey into a wondrous land of imagination, and it continues to be an inspiration for pushing the boundaries of storytelling. As an innovator of genre programming, “The Twilight Zone” explored humanity’s hopes, despairs, prides and prejudices in metaphoric ways to introduce audiences to tales of morality and present perspectives that are underserved in conventional television.
THE TWILIGHT ZONE is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions and Kinberg’s Genre Films. In addition to Peele and Kinberg, Win Rosenfeld, Audrey Chon, Alex Rubens, Glen Morgan, Carol Serling and Rick Berg also serve as executive producers.
Season one of THE TWILIGHT ZONE, as well as the entire original series, is available to stream now on CBS All Access.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Twilight Zone reboot? Will you watch season two?
I signed up for one free month of CBS All Access. I’m glad it was free. I did not like the majority of Twilight Zone episodes, perhaps two were good at best. Now I know what I’m missing.
