Potential directors for the episodes
- Jordan Peele
- I mean, duh.
- Adam Wingard
- Sarah Paulson
- Ari Aster
- James Wan
- So far, all Jossed.
Many of the classic and most iconic Twilight Zone episodes will be remade for this series
- One will be a remake of "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" (the 2002 remake was titled "The Monsters Are On Maple Street"). It'll be titled "The Monsters of Maple Street", and while the former two reflects the Red Scare and post-9/11 sensitivities respectively, this one will reflect on Trump-era America.
- This seems to be the case with "A Traveler", however renewed paranoia about Russia and North Korea was the focus politically, and not the Trump administration.
- The remake of "Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up" will have the aliens come from another star system, since Mars and Venus have been proven unable to bear life. In this case, the two alien races are in a Forever War and are fighting for possession of Earth.
- "The Mirror" will be set in the Middle East.
- A remake of "The Jeopardy Room" will feature a North Korean officer trying to defect to South Korea, who will be heading there from a third country, only to be found by South Koreans who are North Korean sympathizers. The plot is otherwise the same.
- "The Encounter" will be remade to revolve around a retired policeman who was present during a major terror attack/incident and a younger muslim man. The sword is replaced by a cloth which is revealed to be the headscarf of a muslim woman the man killed in a reckless rage sometime in between then and the present. The young man will, after very tense conversations that lead the policeman's crime coming to light, strangle him to death with the headscarf. The other big change will be that the young man's father wasn't a terrorist agent like how Arthur Takamori's father was a spy, instead having him confess that he himself almost killed a proudly bigoted man who had been goading him to do it.
- The remake "Ring-a-Ding Girl" will be about a successful black actress returning to her poor urban community, creating a stronger contrast between Hollywood and her home life. The founder's day picnic will be replaced with the erection of a statue for a civil rights leader who hailed from the area, making the idea of people instead going to. see the actress's one woman show even more insulting. Instead of a jetliner crashing in the park, the disaster that would have killed a lot of people would have been a different group people attacking the ceremony; a hate group who oppose the statue going up since a statue of a confederate general was taken down recently in the same park.
- "He's Alive" will be about about a contemporary Neo-Nazi who, instead of giving speeches in the street, has a YouTube channel with titles like "Triggered Soyboy SJW gets DESTROYED by Family Guy joke", and tries to hide his Nazism until the spirit of Hitler pushes him over the edge.
- Hitler gets behind any alt-right activist group and turns them into dangerous extremists.
- Alternately a different infamous historical figure: Charles Manson convinces an angry young kid to start a cult to create a new revolution by creating mass shootings and killing "the phonies" .
- "The Changing of the Guard" will feature a teacher at underfunded and struggling school for kids with special needs.
- A remake of "The Rip Van Winkle Caper".
- A remake of "The Obsolete Man".
- A remake of "I Am the Night-Color Me Black".
- A remake of "In Praise of Pip" in which a female soldier is in the War on Terror and her businessman father tries to ignore it but keeps thinking about her.
- A remake of "It's a Good Life", or a continuation of "It's Still a Good Life".
We will finally be getting a story about the Hollywood Tower of Terror
In the first official trailer, we see a shot of a bell being tapped on a desk. If the entire scene is something to go by, this could be a scene set in the Hollywood Tower Hotel.- It might even be the premiere episode.
- Oh, that would be awesome!!!
- Unfortunately, Jossed. But who's to say that won't be the season finale or season 2 premiere?
Either Get Out (2017), Us, or both will be in the same universe as this film
- Played with in "Blurryman". While Get Out (2017) doesn't happen in the series, Betty Gabriel and Jordan Peele Adam West as themselves which implies they know each other from working on that film.
The Grim Reaper will appear in some episodes.
Since he appeared in several episodes of the classic series, and once in the 2002 remake. There will be a episode about an Elderly Anthony Fremont and his grown up daughter Audrey.
Particularly, it will be focused on what would happen if a Person of Mass Destruction like him got dementia or died. One episode will deal with "Fake News" and subjective reality.
It's even in the trailer! "When truth is not the truth..." An episode will feature a character traveling to a post-apocalyptic world
One of the things they see there will be none other than the corpse of Henry Bemis, who will be implied to have committed suicide due to how he can't read in a fairly bleak world. His body will have several books near him, namely ones that were adapted into movies starring Burgess Meredith, like Of Mice and Men, The Diary of a Chambermaid, and Mine Own Executioner, as a tribute to Meredith. In "The Comedian", Tracy Morgan will be playing the Devil.
The new trailer sees Kumail Nanjiani's character bombing at a comedy club. Afterward, he speaks to Morgan's character, who is drinking in a bar and offers him everything he's ever wanted—laughter, riches, fame...there's even a shot of the two clinking glasses, the equivalent of shaking hands or sealing a deal. But Morgan will actually be playing the Devil—this showed up in many original episodes, including "Escape Clause," "Of Late I Think of Cliffordville," and "Printer's Devil"—whose bargain requires a massive price. We know that when Nanjiani comes home at some point, he no longer has a dog...it could be that Morgan's Devil is taking things in exchange for the comedian's success. And given that the extended trailer has the title character asking if anyone's seen a little boy, it's possible that even his son is taken as part of the trade.- Not explicitly said, but the episode falls into this genre of story.
The revival won't be an anthology series.
The latest trailer suggest it's a series with a Myth Arc.- Jossed. So far, this is still an anthology series.
Nightmare at 30,000 Feet - Joe and Justin are the same person.
In a Fight Club reference, no one else actually interacts with Joe. At the end of the episode, he clearly becomes the one to take over the plane, and is shown on the cameras to everyone else. If all the passengers saw this, why would they think Justin brought the plane down? No one saw him give the cockpit entry code to Joe. The only way that the passengers would have thought Justin crashed the plane, is if it was actually him on the camera. Also, the second part of the podcast makes no mention of Joe, despite saying that all passengers had been accounted for except Justin. If Joe was alive, surely the passengers would have either killed him or outed him to the public.- Exactly, why did Joe suddenly disappear, and why was he assumed to be a part of Justin's imagination if others were able to see him? Some theorize that somehow Justin ends up in a hell or a purgatory, and/or that the entire episode was a nightmare, evidence does heavily show either theory is quite possible. How did the survivors even manage to survive, and when they all surround Justin with every intent of killing him, why are they all emotionless and look and act as if they are the walking dead. Quite frankly, you would think that there would be shouting, accusations made, but nothing is said or done just the lynching, and in reality, mob killings usually do not play out this way. If the survivors are also undead, then why is Justin also not undead? The ending is not ambiguous, but it does leave out several important factors.
The Wunderkind is Oliver Foley's Power Fantasy
In actuality, he's a child star on a TV show about a kid becoming president. However, he did have Raff, who's actually his agent, shot and tortured by his groupies. Each episode takes place in a world just like ours but skewed in some way. Those dimensions however do have little threads and strings that connect them
Point of Origin explicitly talks about people being from other dimensions. The recurring elements of 1015 and the various other Mythology Gags have some stories take place in the same world while others are in the various dimensions referenced in Point Of Origin. Nightmare at 30,000 Feet could be in the same world as The Wunderkind and The Comedian due to the magazine covers in the airport. Tracy Morgan isn't the Devil
He's just another failed comedian like Samir who was offered the chance to be a success. The "talent" is actually a curse that needs to be passed to another person in order for you to lose it. Tracy's character didn't have the guts to erase himself like Samir did, so he just keeps trying to pass it on to other comedians. The MP3 Player from Nightmare at 30,000 Feet belongs to a different dimension/timeline
The podcast seems to contradict itself at various times, such as saying how the Air Marshal was a man or how the Russian man was being protected by the FBI when evidence to the contrary was frequently occurring.
