One of the most important and influential TV shows ever made, Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone has remained a cultural touchstone for generations since its 1959 debut, and a show many have tried to redo since.

Revived in the 80s and 00s, and a clear influence on shows like Black Mirror too, The Twilight Zone should be easy to update given its mix of horror or sci-fi trappings with social commentary - it just needs the right talent behind it.

Who better, then, than the man who created the social horror event of the decade? Jordan Peele is producing - and set to narrate and host - a Twilight Zone revival for CBS All-Access, expected to debut next year.
