CBS is looking to revive The Twilight Zone on its All Access streaming video service, with Jordan Peele reportedly involved.

CBS made the announcement during its earnings call and, according to The Hollywood Reporter, this new version of the seminal sci-fi anthology series will reportedly hail from Peele's production company Monkeypaw Productions. Marco Ramirez (The Defenders, Daredevil, Sons of Anarchy) will reportedly write the script and serve as showrunner.

However, not much else is known about this new iteration of The Twilight Zone, including a release date and if it has been given a straight-to-series order.

Created by Rod Serling, the original series ran from 1959 to 1964. CBS revived The Twilight Zone twice since, including a version that ran from between 1985 and 1989, and one that only lasted for a year from 2002 to 2003 on the UPN network.

The latest iteration of Star Trek, Discovery, is streaming exclusively on All Access. For IGN's thoughts on the show's latest episode, "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad," read our review.
