With generic albeit threatening lines like ‘Things happen the way it should’ and ‘It’s all the same number,’ rest assured this show promises to deliver the scares. And of course, the ominous-sounding background score helps too.

The episodes will delve deep into various genres like horror, thriller and the fantasy genre. The original series had run for five seasons. Apart from Rod Sterling who wrote the original series, writers such as Charles Beaumont and Ray Bradbury had also contributed to writing a few episodes of the black-and-white series.

The Twilight Zone will premiere on April 1.
