Topher Grace, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, and Damon Wayans Jr. Join THE TWILIGHT ZONE Season 2
Some new casting has been announced for CBS All Access’ The Twilight Zone Season 2. Topher Grace, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, and Damon Wayans Jr. have joined the growing cast of the second season of the anthology series.
Other new cast members include Kylie Bunbury, Sky Ferreira, David Krumholtz, Greta Lee, Thomas Lennon, Natalie Martinez, Brandon Jay McLaren, Gretchen Mol, Paula Newsome, Tawny Newsome, and Paul F. Tompkins. Previously announced casting includes Joel McHale, Billy Porter, Chris Meloni and Gillian Jacobs.
The cast members will star in four newly-announced episodes, which include Try, Try, written by Alex Rubens and starring Grace and Bunbury; You Might Also Like, written by Osgood Perkins and starring Mol and Lee; A Small Town, written by Steven Barnes and Tananarive Due, and starring Wayans Jr., Krumholtz, Martinez and Paula Newsome; and Ovation, written by Emily C. Chang and Sara Amini, and starring Smollett-Bell, Tawny Newsome, Ferreira, Tompkins, and Lennon. McLaren joins the previously-announced episode 8, which also stars McHale.
The second season of Jordan Peele and Simon Kinberg’s modern re-imagining of the classic series will consist of 10-episodes and it will “use introspection and the exploration of self to usher viewers into a familiar dimension.” We have no details on what the stories will entail yet.
I actually thought the first season of this reboot was great. While it’s not as good as the original, I really enjoyed the stories that Season 1 told. What did you all think of the first season?
