Part of the fun of The Twilight Zone—whether you’re talking about the newest iteration unearthed by CBS and Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaws Productions or the original series that began haunting faithful audiences in 1959—is watching a long line of familiar faces pay a visit to one of the strangest shows in televised history. Last season, CBS All Access’ flagship series featured a heavy-duty list of guest stars, including John Cho, Zazie Beatz, Seth Rogan, Steven Yeun, Kumail Nanjiani, DeWanda Wise, and many more. This upcoming season is no exception as the network announces additional casting and episode credits.
The new season will star some underrated talent, including Pitch’s Kylie Bunberry and Barry’s Paula Newsome. Also joining this year’s roster of dimension dwellers are Topher Grace, Happy Endings’ Damon Wayans Jr., Birds Of Prey’s Jurnee Smollett-Bell, and Reno 911!’s Thomas Lennon, to only name a few. Rick And Morty’s Alex Rubens has returned to write a number of episodes while Ana Lily Amirpour and Osgood Perkins share directorial duties in an impressive lineup of behind camera talent. The 10-episode season is scheduled to premiere this summer on the digital subscription service. Check out the episode titles and credits below.
