Jordan Peele's TWILIGHT ZONE Series to Begin Production Later This Year

While speaking with Deadline during the TCA's, EVP Original Content Julie McNamara and David Stapf, president of CBS TV Studios, confirmed that Jordan Peele and Simon Kinberg's reboot of The Twilight Zone series will begin production within the next couple of months.

"We have a room, we have a first season of concepts, outlines, scripted - various stages of all these things - of that 10 eps a season. We are well on our way, and we are going to start production in the next couple of months," said McNamara.

Stapf commented that since the series is an anthology the series doesn't "need to look at it as who's the showrunner" when asked about who will be running the series. Stapf said that since it's an anthology series there is no specific showrunner, and McNamara added that Greg Yaitanes will be overseeing the continuity of the series from a production standpoint.

Jordan Peele's Twilight Zone series will be produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Jordan Peele's Monkeypaw Productions and Simon Kinberg's Genre Films. Jordan Peele, Simon Kinberg, and Marco Ramirez will serve as executive producers for the series and collaborate on the premiere episode. Win Rosenfeld and Audrey Chon will also serve as executive producers.
