Jordan Peele is getting ready to take viewers on another trip to a land of both shadow and substance, as Peele and Simon Kinberg's reboot of The Twilight Zone has been renewed for a second season by CBS All Access.
Revealed today by The Hollywood Reporter, the renewal has come after only five episodes of the current series have been released, each one coming out on Thursday. Julie McNamara, Executive Vice President, Original Content for CBS All Access, also had some praise for the new series.
"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", McNamara stated. "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."
With his recent string of success in the horror genre with films like Us and Get Out, Peele seems to have made the right call with updating The Twilight Zone for newer audiences. In addition to producing the series, Peele also serves as the narrator, similar to franchise creator Rod Serling.
No other information regarding the second season--such as a release date or how many episodes will be in it--has been revealed.
Hosted and produced by Jordan Peele, new episodes of The Twilight Zone Season 1 air every Thursday on CBS All Access.
