Preview: The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 1

‘The Twilight Zone’ is CBS’s rendition of the original series with the same name that debuted in 1959. Created by Simon Kinberg, Jordan Peele, and Marco Ramirez, the anthology sci-fi drama is packed with intriguing horror and fantasy elements. Each episode tells a free-standing story and beautifully embraces the format of its classic, 1950s predecessor. Of course, not all stories resonate with viewers but there’s something for everyone in each of its addictive, individual plot arcs.

When season 1 first landed on CBS All Access, it opened to worldwide acclaim. As a result, it quickly prompted the creators to renew it for a second edition — halfway through the show’s first-season run. Julie McNamara, executive vice president of original content at CBS All Access, confirmed the news in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter: “Jordan, Simon [Kinberg], 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.” Well, now we have gathered all the details of the much-awaited second outing. Read on!
