Jordan Peele was all over the Super Bowl, huh? Well, his upcoming reboot of the iconic mystery anthology series The Twilight Zone received a new teaser during the Super Bowl, and gave viewers the best bait-and-switch of the night.

Just as it appeared that we were returning to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium to continue the game, the arena emptied out and Peele, who will serve as the show's host, walked into the empty stadium to play-up the series' signature mind-bending intrigue.

If that's not neat enough, there was also a brief reprise of the show's iconic theme, before its April 1 premiere was confirmed for CBS' All Access streaming service.

With a cast including Adam Scott, Kumail Nanjiani, John Cho, Jacob Tremblay, Steven Yeun, Greg Kinnear, Taissa Farmiga and Ike Barinholtz, there's good reason to be optimistic about this revival.
