'The Twilight Zone' reboot: Why Jordan Peele is the best fit to host and produce the upcoming series

Jordan Peele just confirmed it on Twitter that 'The Twilight Zone' reboot is now officially arriving in 2019 on CBS All Access.

The wholesome bulk of popular TV shows coming back in the form of reboots has been massive this year. From 'Roseanne' to 'Veronica Mars' - everything is being revived either in the form of a show or in the form of a film, and joining the same league is now the highly acclaimed Rod Sterling classic from the 1950s, 'The Twilight Zone.' And jumping in Sterling's spot to both host and produce the show will be Jordan Peele, who offered his fans the first teaser of the upcoming reboot, in the form of a tweet.

The show got greenlit last year and is now officially arriving in 2019 on CBS All Access, as per confirmations by the horror/comedy auteur. And knowing that this comes from the man who gave us the iconic experience in the form of the Academy Award-nominated film, 'Get Out.' Not only did it tread along the lines of surrealism, but it had some heavy potential that has been noticed before in shows like 'The X-Files' and 'Black Mirror.'
