The actor/director will also be serving as the series' Executive Producer. "Rod Serling was an uncompromising visionary who not only shed light on social issues of his time but prophesied issues of ours. I'm honored to carry on his legacy to a new generation of audiences as the gatekeeper of The Twilight Zone", said Peele. His company, Monkeypaw Productions and Simon Kinberg's Genre Films, will be working alongside CBS Television Studios for the project.
CBS All Access also currently has all of the original Twilight Zone episodes available to watch.
Production will begin this fall with a release date set for 2019.
