First full trailer for the new The Twilight Zone released
- Thread starter berzeli
- Start date
Man, got Dee in this too. CBS really gonna make me pay:/ hopefully the promo is still live once the season finishes.
It's timeless.
Everyone should at least watch the top 20 list of episodes.
He Lives
Oh yeah, cuz Get Out had none of that /s
It's definitely episodic, they just mixed the episodes up in the trailer
No, it didn't :( it was región blocked by CBS as well. Had to see the trailer on Twitter.
If I didn't know better I'd say those shots with the kid are from a reimagined version of "It's A Good Life" with the kid making himself president.
That's a solid guess. Should be an interesting episode for sure.
Haven't seen Fringe, but I would say no on the other two. Stand-alone episodes that just explore strange or creepy ideas/situations.
It's an anthology series and its closest modern analog would be Black Mirror.
Its a huge series, though, so if you wanted to dip your toes in, I would google some top ten episodes lists to start out with. You could leap into the middle of the series anywhere and pluck out the best regarded eps.
That kid in the White House? Where could they have possibly gotten that idea from?
People are gonna complain about the New Twilight zone being too political.
As someone else pointed out, it's nothing like any of those. Those shows all have sci-fi elements to them (especially Fringe) but Twilight Zone is more like, every episode is it's own self-contained story that focuses on just one particular sci-fi-esque idea. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes they're sad, scary, dramatic, etc. It's a really awesome series and because it's episodic it can cover all kinds of interesting ideas and themes and genres.
The main difference to something recent like Black Mirror, is not every Twilight Zone episode leaves you feeling miserable about humanity and life. I feel like a lot of modern sci-fi is hyper focused on dark depressing themes but there are some pretty fun Twilight Zone episodes from what I can remember.
Soon as I saw the shots of the tricycle, I figured they were leaning a little too hard into imagery from The Shining, but then I saw the flags attached to it and waitaminute...
And another watch shows a rural community cheering at signs like "Video Games" and "Oliver 4 Prez". Yep, it's Trump and the cornfield.
Might have been me
And yeah, TZ has a much wider scope than largely any other similar show. The only connecting element is the presence of a twist or message. Beyond that, the show isn't locked into any single genre or tone. I would even argue that a weird element isn't even required, not when a classic episode like Time Enough at Last has no weird/sci-fi/supernatural aspects at all
Speculation:
Adam Scott's episode revolves around a recurring set of numbers in his day.
The ticket says 10:15 and he says to the air attendant "it's all the same number, what are the chances?". He's probably on Flight 1015. Maybe his audio device has a creepy voice that tells him the plane will crash at 10:15. That's why he throws his ipod at the camera. He wakes up after the crash. The episode will open with him waking up as we see him in the trailer. The bulk of the episode will take place on the plane with the events leading up to 10:15.

Interesting - wonder if that has anything to do with the original gremlin washing ashore?
'Weird City' was a bit of a stumble for me in terms of Peele backed projects but I'm so down for this.
Theres..... a lot.
I'd really recommend looking up the top 20 episodes lists and go from there.
It's a reimagining called "Nightmare at 30000 Feet" and it's gonna be stellar
PLEASE BE GOOD. Watching reruns of this show and outer limits on the scifi channel was a big part of my childhood.
