CBS All Access' revival of The Twilight Zone officially has a premiere date and the series might be coming to the streaming platform sooner than you think. It was just announced that the upcoming reboot would premiere on Monday, April 1st with its first two episodes. Following that, each new subsequent episode will debut on Thursdays until the 10-episode first season has finished airing.

The series recently added Taissa Farmiga (American Horror Story, The Nun), Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul), Luke Kirby (The Deuce), Ike Barinholtz (Suicide Squad), and Percy Hynes-White (The Gifted) for its seventh episode, further bolstering its growing list of prominent names who have come on board so far.

Jordan Peele is executive producing this reboot for the CBS All Access streaming platform and will also serve as the show's host, filling the shoes of the legendary Rod Serling, who created the original series back in 1959, a role he is not taking lightly.

The Twilight Zone is set to premiere on April 1st, 2019 with production on its 10-episode first season still underway. Stay tuned to Dead Entertainment for all of the latest on this show.
