John Cho, Allison Tolman and Jacob Tremblay

That's the signpost up ahead: next stop for John Cho, Allison Tolman and Jacob Tremblay is The Twilight Zone. They are the latest actors to join the cast of CBS All Access' highly anticipated original series and will star in the episode "The Wunderkind." Erica Tremblay will also appear in this episode. Previously announced cast members include host and narrator Jordan Peele in addition to Sanaa Lathan, Adam Scott and Kumail Nanjiani. The original The Twilight Zone premiered on Oct. 2, 1959 on CBS. The series took viewers to another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. The Twilight Zone became a worldwide phenomenon as it used socially conscious storytelling to explore the human condition and culture of the times. It was a journey into a wondrous land of imagination for five years on CBS, from 1959 to 1964. The godfather of sci-fi series, the show explored humanity's hopes, despairs, prides and prejudices in metaphoric ways conventional dramas could not. Every episode of the original series is available to stream now on CBS All Access.
