It looks way, WAY scarier than the original.
This month, a very brief glimpse of the highly-anticipated Twilight Zone reboot (starring none other than Jordan Peele) was shown at the Super Bowl.
And when we say brief, we really mean it.
It was about 60 seconds and, beyond introducing Peele as the host/narrator of the series, didn’t really give away much about the show.
“When truth is not the truth, what dimension are you even in?” he ominously asked the camera, as the teaser came to an end.
Thankfully, CBS have now revealed the first proper look at the series – this time, with a full-length trailer.
And it looks like things are going to be way, way scarier than the original series ever was.
There are glimpses of just about everyone in the star-studded cast, including Kumail Nanjiani, John Cho, Taissa Farmiga, and Adam Scott – whose episode, Nightmare at 30,000 Feet, looks to be a nightmare for anyone nervous about flying.
James Frain, Ginnifer Goodwin, Sanaa Lathan, Luke Kirby and Greg Kenner also star in the series, according to IMDB.
There’s also a whole host of one-liners that seemingly sound innocent enough – although, let’s be realistic, nothing is going to be innocent or overly happy in this.
The footage begins with a character saying:
“Everything that happens in this universe has to be the way it is. Things happen as they should.”
“Are you happy with your life? Don’t you want it all?” one character ominously asks, while another says: “Everything you said would come true, it has.”

Basically, the 90-second clip has us totally sold.
The The Twilight Zone will premiere on CBS All Access in the United States on April 1. There’s no word yet on when it will be broadcast over here – but we’re keeping out fingers crossed it will be sooner rather than later.
