Twilight Zone 1985

The New Twilight Zone is the popular nickname for the 1985 revival of Rod Serling's acclaimed 1950/60s television series, The Twilight Zone; it was officially titled the same as the original. It ran for two seasons on CBS before producing a final season for syndication.

The program followed in the tradition of earlier radio programs such as The Weird Circle and X Minus One and the radio work of Serling's hero, dramatist Norman Corwin.

A popular and critical success, it introduced many Americans to serious science fiction and abstract ideas through television and also through a wide variety of Twilight Zone literature.

The success of this original series led to the creation of two revival series (a cult hit series that ran for several seasons on CBS and in syndication in the 1980s, and a short-lived UPN series that ran early in the new millennium), a feature film, a radio series, a comic book, a magazine and various other spin offs that would span five decades.
