In case you missed it, it was announced a few days back that Adam Scott (Party Down, Step Brothers) was joining the cast of Get Out director Jordan Peele‘s new take on The Twilight Zone coming to CBS All Access.
But what’s more exciting is the episode of the anthology Scott will be starring in, which is titled “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet.” If that name sounds familiar, it’s because one of the best known episodes of the original Twilight Zone was titled “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.” So it appears that this new show will present its own version of the classic segment.
Back in November of last year we found out that Academy Award winning Get Out writer and director Jordan Peele was developing a new take on The Twilight Zone for CBS All Access. But as it turns out, Peele isn’t just producing the revival.
CBS All Access has released the first teaser video for the show. The video announces who will be hosting and narrating the new version, which we now know will be Peele himself. He follows the creator of the original Twilight Zone, Rod Serling, who hosted and narrated during that show’s first run from 1959 to 1964.

This year Jordan Peele made his directorial debut with the social satire thriller Get Out. The film had hints of The Twilight Zone in it as it wasn’t strictly a horror film but one that would make your skin crawl and question what you just saw.
Well, it looks like Peele will be diving into that world once more as he literally will be developing a new take on The Twilight Zone, which would appear on CBS’s streaming platform CBS All Access. More on the story below.
