At the very onset of April, will arrive the highly anticipated reboot of the 50s iconic series, 'The Twilight Zone.' Replacing the original's host Rod Serling will be horror-comedy auteur Jordan Peele - the man who won the best original screenplay Oscar for his directorial debut, 'Get Out' in 2018. But if that isn't enough to thrill fans of the original Twilight Zone, about the upcoming reboot premiering April Fool's Day, here are some spoilers from the first two episodes dropping this coming Monday, to get you in the mood.  

The first episode, titled 'The Comedian,' features real-life comedic genius Kumail Nanjiani, but while his real-life career is still reaching milestones every single day, on the show we see him a failed comedian, whose only source of content is his personal life. He picks people and instances from his life for material to play with on his sets because somehow that really gets his audience buzzing.
