Jordan Peele Will Host the Twilight Zone Reboot Because We Deserve Nice Things

You're officially out of excuses to not watch CBS All Access' modern take on the iconic horror series, The Twilight Zone. In addition to producing the reboot, Jordan Peele will also step in front of the camera and serve as host. Peele certainly has some big shoes to fill -- no one can replace original host Rod Serling, after all -- but if anyone's up to the challenge, it's him.

"Rod Serling was an uncompromising visionary who not only shed light on social issues of his time, but prophesied issues of ours," Peele said in a statement. "I'm honored to carry on his legacy to a new generation of audiences as the gatekeeper of The Twilight Zone."

A reimagining of the original, this fresh iteration will also explore the human condition and prominent social issues through conscious storytelling. And who better to dive deep into what's plaguing society while imprinting your brains with permanent nightmares than the modern master of social horrors?
