The Twilight Zone Season Finale
I’ve heard from some folks that they’ve been disappointed with the first season ofThe Twilight Zonerevival. I’ll admit I’ve yet to catch up with the entire season, but I’ve enjoyed most of the episodes I’ve seen so far, so let’s just agree to disagree. In any case, this final episode of the season looks appropriately creepy, and even features a call-back to one of the best originalTwilight Zoneepisodes – “Time Enough at Last.” See if you may spot it!
The only synopsis for the episode is typically vague: “Writer Sophie Gelson (Zazie Beetz) is haunted by a mysterious figure.” I’m guessing the Blurryman is inspired by infamous internet boogeyman Slender Man – but beyond that, I have no idea what’s going on here. And that’s fine! I’d rather be surprised.
The Twilight Zonehas already been renewed for a second season, which will likely bring a whole new impressive list of guest stars in. And maybe producersJordan Peeleand Simon Kinberg will take some of the criticism against the first season to heart and make season 2 even stronger.
In any case, the show has been a hit for CBS All Access. “Jordan Peele and Simon Kinberg’s reimagining ofThe Twilight Zoneis off to an amazing start on CBS All Access, driving the most viewers on its premiere day for an original series to date,” Julie McNamara, executive vice president of original content at CBS All Access,saidwhen the show was renewed. “Jordan, Simon, the creative team and cast have done a phenomenal job translating the series' legacy of socially conscious storytelling for modern-day audiences. They are master storytellers, and we look forward to bringing fans further intoThe Twilight Zonewith a second season.”
The Twilight Zoneseason finale will be streaming exclusively on CBS All AccessMay 30.
