If you haven’t heard, one of the best television shows to ever grace the screen is set to return, The Twilight Zone. Jordan Peele will bring back the show that takes place in a dimension of not only time and space, but of mind. In speaking with TheWrap executive VP for original content at CBS All Access, Julie McNamara, gave details on how Peele came to be involved.
“We actually had heard that Jordan was such a fan of the original series that he credits it to some extent with his interest in becoming an artist. Having heard that, we pursued a conversation with him to see if that’s something he would be interested in.”

McNamara also said that Peele wasn’t the first one to pitch a Twilight Zone reboot, but it turns out she felt he was the right one.
“I personally have heard probably 10 different pitches on rebooting Twilight Zone over the years. It happens to coincide with a moment in the culture that feels specifically ripe for this show to come back. It feels like right now Jordan’s point of view on the world is very welcome through the use of this franchise.”
While widely known for his comedic talents (Key and Peele) Peele recently displayed a proficiency in the horror genre, with his film Get Out, which he both wrote and directed. Peele impressively snagged an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Get Out.
