CBS TV Studios wants to hop on the genre TV train! News broke today that the studio has hired Bryan Singer to serve as executive producer for a(nother) new version of The Twilight Zone, though it’s still in the very early stages of development. With the success of horror-themed shows like The Walking Dead and American Horror Story — not to mention the upcoming prequel series, Hannibal and Bates Motel — you can’t really blame them for trying, but will an anthology series (as opposed to a serial) still attract the audience they want? The most recent attempt (2002) only lasted for one season, and previous one (1985) also struggled to gain traction. But a new Twilight Zone could probably go to much creepier places these days, making it a little more worth our while. Possibly.
In the meantime, you can just tune in to Syfy’s annual Twilight Zone marathon on December 31 and January 1. It’s a holiday tradition!
