CBS has debuted a teaser trailer for their upcoming revival of The Twilight Zone, which highlights the fact that Academy Award-winner Jordan Peele will be the show’s new host. The trailer also contains the voice of Rod Serling and is clearly meant as an homage to the original series’ opening.
Peele has been attached to this project since November 2017, when it was revealed that he had been developing the reboot for the CBS All Access streaming service. Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions is producing alongside CBS Television Studios and Genre Films. Marco Ramirez and Simon Kinberg are joining Peele as executive producers, and will be collaborating on the premiere episode.
The new Twilight Zone is set to debut in 2019.
