Will Reboot Take You To Another Dimension?
Jordan Peele‘s Twilight Zone reboot is arriving on CBS soon, and to get those juices flowing, new trailers have been released for the first two episodes.
One focuses on the episode starring Kumail Nanjiani as a desperate stand-up comedian, while the other has Adam Scott experiencing a “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet.”
The updated iteration of the classic show will offer takes on classic stories with Peele serving the role of the narrator, made famous by Rod Serling.
The Comedian
Kumail Nanjiani stars in “The Comedian” which seems like a deal-with-the-devil story where the devil is Tracy Morgan. Nanjiani strikes some sort of deal to advance his career, but like all of these tales, it comes with unforeseen costs.
Here’s the trailer:
