Journey into another dimension with a new The Twilight Zone trailer
Get ready to enter another dimension because the eve of The Twilight Zone revival is upon us, and the extended trailer is giving us even more excitement for its debut.
In an era with a growing number of reboots, sequels, prequels, and the ominous in-between, we’re excited that Jordan Peele is helming The Twilight Zone reboot (both as the narrator and the executive producer, along with Simon Kinberg, Win Rosenfeld, Audrey Chon, Carol Serling, Rick Berg, and Grey Yaitanes).
Thanks to the new extended trailer for the upcoming series, you’ll want to take a late afternoon break to watch the promo for the equal parts creepy and satirical anthology series.
The extended trailer for The Twilight Zone doesn’t give us many clues into specific interdimensional mayhem in the debut season. Based on Adam Scott’s presence in the teaser, we can probably expect a twist on a classic mid-flight tale with a certain wing monster — which has already been reinterpreted a couple of times before.
There’s a lot more to dissect in the trailer beyond the potential rebirth of a terrifying flight. With the A-list cast and already chilling preview into the anthological series, we’re ready to discover the creepy depths of another dimension… as well as the human psyche and the critical commentary that coexists within it.
As we get ready to relieve our nostalgic fears and start to experience this new generation of horrifying stories that transcend the science fiction genre, the trailer and IMDb page give us a lengthy list of cast members to further fuel our enthusiasm: Betty Gabriel, Ginnifer Goodwin, Zazie Beetz, John Cho, Taissa Farmiga, Adam Scott, Rhea Seehorn, Alison Tolman, Jacob Tremblay, Jessica Williams, DeWanda Wise, Steven Yeun, Greg Kinnear, Luke Kirby, Sanaa Lathan, Kumail Nanjiani, and Seth Rogen (and many more).
Airing on CBS All Access, The Twilight Zone debuts on Monday, April 1. We know: This might seem like an elaborate April Fool’s Day trick to get you to sign up for another streaming service, but CBS All Access does offer a free week-long trial. After the trial period, CBS All Access costs between $5.99 and $9.99 per month (depending on whether or not you want commercials).
Preparing to watch a series debut about unpredictable inter-dimensional happenings is virtually impossible. But, thankfully, Jordan Peele has us covered with a few recommended episodes of the original Twilight Zone series.
Hopefully, this will help keep our anticipation at bay while we wait for Monday.
