Jordan Peele Continues His Reign As King Of Horror With New Twilight Zone Trailers

Jordan Peele's surreal reimagining of The Twilight Zone looks like a creepy thrill ride, if the series' first two trailers are any indication.


New episodes of The Twilight Zone are set to unsettle crowds again next month, and CBS has debuted a pair of new clips showcasing two of the opening episodes viewers will get a taste of once the series kicks off on April 1.


The first, "Nightmare at 30,000 Feet," is a modern take on the original episode that noticed William Shatner as a gentleman named Robert Wilson. While traveling by means of the airplane, he believes he's seeing a gremlin or other ape of creature on the wing. He keeps it up and continues to alert others on the plane to let them know, yet they dismiss his claims as that of a crazy man as they go to look and the gremlins is nowhere to be seen. Certainly, given that this is the Twilight Zone, immediately considering that, you know things aren't at all what they seem.


Adam Scott takes over Shatner's role this time around, and looks to imbue the character with the same group kind of panic and chaos as Shatner managed to back once the episode aired in 1963. Our first look at the episode is short, however promising.


"The Comedian" finds real-life funnyman Kumail Nanjiani consorting with Tracy Morgan in a sinister setup that usually have Morgan appearing as some categorize kind of demonic figure. Nanjiani is apparently struggling in his career, and Morgan likely transforms him (and his life) into a much different, twisted version where he becomes a massively successful comedy star.


the initial two episodes introduced in the trailers above will be hitting CBS All Access on April 1, with a new episode airing every week starting April 11.


The show is set to attract plenty of big names, like Seth Rogen, Ginnifer Goodwin, Steven Yeun, and Jacob Tremblay once it gets going, and while we don't know much about which other classic episodes may be remade (if any) or what the original stories will entail, we can't wait to be able to see them.


Peele himself dons iconic host Rod Serling's suit and takes on Serling's position as "guide" in the clips, ushering viewers into the Twilight focus in what seems like a role he was basically place on Earth to play.


so far, immerse yourself in the weird world of The Twilight Zone with these new teasers and get ready for April.
