            My anticipation continues to build for the upcoming reboot of The Twilight Zone on CBS All Access, especially when more casting announcements continue to be made. According to Deadline, John Cho, Allison Tolman and Jacob Tremblay have joined the series to star in the episode titled, The Wunderkind.

            Previous announcements of the series have cast Sanaa Lathan, Adam Scott and Kumail Nanjiani to star in other episodes of the show while Jordan Peele, who is executively producing the series will host and narrate the episodes like Rod Serling did when the original series aired from 1959 through 1964. There have been no details yet as to who Cho, Tolman and Tremblay will play in the episode.

            Cho has had a big year with a lead role in the thriller, Searching, for which he was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. Tolman is best known for her performance as Molly Solverson in the first season of FX drama, Fargo for which she received an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination, but she could be seen most recently in the Hulu series, Castle Rock. Tremblay had a breakout performance in 2015’s, Room and has since appeared in Wonder and The Predator reboot while also having a role in the upcoming Xavier Dolan movie, The Death and Life of John F. Donovan.

            The Twilight Zone reboot will debut on the CBS All Access streaming service in 2019.
