The Twilight Zone Opens Doorway to Season 2 in June; Trailer Released
Host and executive producer Jordan Peele, executive producer Simon Kinberg, and CBS All Access recently introduced us to a killer line-up of names set to enter The Twilight Zone this summer for its second season, and now we're getting a look at them in action with the release of the series' trailer. Set to premiere its entire 10-episode season on June 25, the series tapped Morena Baccarin, Kylie Bunbury, Jenna Elfman, Sky Ferreira, Tavi Gevinson, Topher Grace, Tony Hale, Gillian Jacobs, David Krumholtz, Thomas Lennon, Sophia Macy, Natalie Martinez, Joel McHale, Chris Meloni, Gretchen Mol, Paula Newsome, Jurnee Smollett, Billy Porter, Jimmi Simpson, Daniel Sunjata, Damon Wayans Jr., and many more to star.
Here's the official trailer for the upcoming season, followed by an updated look at the second season schedule, with preview images to further tease what to expect when we return to that dimension of sight and sound otherwise known as, The Twilight Zone:
Executive producers Jordan Peele and Simon Kinberg's modern re-imagining of the classic brings the original series' legacy of socially conscious storytelling to new audiences, exploring the human condition and holding a lens up to the culture of our times. The series' second season will use introspection and the exploration of self to usher viewers into a familiar dimension.
