'The Twilight Zone': CBS All Access Books Season 2 Travel Through Another Dimension

CBS All Access is booking another journey into Jordan Peele and Simon Kinberg's The Twilight Zone, officially renewing the anthology series for a second season after a record-setting premiere and strong positive reaction from critics and viewers.

The Twilight Zone Reimagining

"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."

– Julie McNamara, Executive Vice President – Original Content, CBS All Access

The original 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. As the godfather of sci-fi series, the show explored humanity's hopes, despairs, prides and prejudices in metaphoric ways conventional dramas could not.

In 2019 viewers will enter another dimension with Jordan Peele 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.
