“There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man”: Words spoken by Rod Sterling that set the stage for the renown The Twilight Zone. Currently, the series is getting a revival by Academy Award-winning director of Get Out Jordan Peele. Announced back in late 2018, Peele’s revival of The Twilight Zone for CBS All Access continues to round out its cast.

They join American Assassin’s Sanaa Lathan, Firelight’s DeWanda Wise, People Places Things Jessica Williams, It’s As Good As It Get’s Greg Kinnear, The Walking Dead’s Steven Yeun, Star Trek’s John Cho, Killing Gunther’s Allison Tolman, The Predator’s Jacob Tremblay, The Big Sick’s Kumail Nanjiani, and Step Brothers Adam Scott as cast in The Twilight Zone revival.

Peele will take on the role made famous by Rod Sterling, host of the 1959 television series, The Twilight Zone. Peele will also narrate the series. CBS All Access will produce alongside Simon Kinberg’s Genre Films, and Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions. The Twilight Zone will be produced by Rick Berg, Win Rosenfeld, Audrey Chon, Greg Yaitanes and Carol Serling.
The series will likely premiere mid to late 2019. It will air on the streaming service CBS All Access. No story details or synopsis has been released. In the immortal words of Rod Sterling prepare for “A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination”.
It’s interesting to see Peele bring the classic sci-fi series to the modern era. We could be in for a good series run and it will be interesting to watch as further details emerge. It will be nice to see Peele add to the cadre of great quotes from a host. A memorable quote by late The Twilight Zone host Rod Sterling is “It is said that science fiction and fantasy are two different things. Science fiction is the improbable made possible, and fantasy is the impossible made probable”. Sterling could really set the stage for an intriguing half hour of science fiction.
