Jordan Peele’s The Twilight Zone won’t return on CBS All Access when it’s rebranded as Paramount+ next month. CBS All Access/Paramount+ wanted to continue the series. But Peele and also fellow executive producer Simon Kinberg were ready to walk away. The rebooted anthology ran for two seasons.
Paramount+ head of programming said: “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.”

Season two of The Twilight Zone saw Peele reprise his role as host. The season included a new roster of actors telling stories that ranged from sci-fi to fantasy to downright creepy. The guest cast included Morena Baccarin, Kylie Bunbury, Jenna Elfman, and also Ethan Embry. Sky Ferreira was in there too as well as Tavi Gevinson, Topher Grace, Tony Hale, Gillian Jacobs, and David Krumholtz. Thomas Lennon rounded out the cast with Sophia Macy, Natalie Martinez, Joel McHale, Chris Meloni, Gretchen Mol, Paula Newsome, Billy Porter, Jimmi Simpson, Jurnee Smollett, Daniel Sunjata, and also Damon Wayans Jr., among others.
