Jordan Peele's THE TWILIGHT ZONE Reboot Comes to an End After Two Seasons
After two seasons, Jordan Peele’s The Twilight Zone reboot will not return to CBS All Access after it’s rebranded next month as Paramount+. The series wasn’t cancelled by CBS All Access, though, it was cancelled by the creators.
According to the report, Peele and Simon Kinberg were “both ready to walk away from the series though CBS All Access/Paramount+ wanted the series to continue.” Paramount+ head of programming Julie McNamara said in a statement:
"Jordan Peele, Simon Kinberg and the entire production team truly reimagined The Twilight Zone for the modern age. They upheld the classic series' legacy of socially conscious storytelling and pushed today's viewers to explore all new dimensions of thought-provoking and topical themes that we hope will resonate with audiences for years to come."
I enjoyed the reboot series more than I thought I would. I’m kinda bummed that Peele and Kinberg didn’t want to keep it going. I guess their hearts just weren’t in it anymore. I’m sure one day someone else will attempt to reboot The Twilight Zone again, but at least we’ll always have the original series from Rod Serling, which never gets old.
