Jordan Peele's The Twilight Zone gets an April premiere date
Jordan Peele is ready to take audiences to another dimension.
CBS has given his reboot of The Twilight Zone an April 1 premiere date, Variety reports. Two episodes will premiere on CBS All Access on that Monday, and then new episodes will be available weekly every Thursday.
Like Star Trek: Discovery, this series is another exclusive to CBS All Access and will not air on the actual CBS network, so you'll need to purchase a subscription, which starts at $5.99 a month.
