Billy Porter to star in Jordan Peele’s ‘Twilight Zone’
Actor will be joined by Daniel Sunjata in an episode titled ‘The Who of You’
Billy Porter is among the actors who will appear on Jordan Peele’s ‘The Twilight Zone’ anthology series next season.
Jenna Elfman, Chris Meloni, Gillian Jacobs, Joel McHale and Jimmi Simpson also will each appear in an episode for season two, the CBS All Access streaming service announced.
Porter, who won a best drama actor Emmy last year for ‘Pose,’ will be joined by Daniel Sunjata (‘Graceland’) and Ethan Embry (‘Grace and Frankie,’ ‘Blindspotting’) in an episode titled ‘The Who of You.’ Story details were not released.
Peele, an Oscar-winner for ‘Get Out,’ has written an episode, ‘Downtime,’ that will star Morena Baccarin (the ‘Deadpool’ franchise), Colman Domingo (‘If Beale Street Could Talk’) and Emmy-winning ‘Veep’ star Tony Hale.
Peele is co-creator, executive producer and narrator for the series, described as a “re-imagining” of the original Rod Serling anthology of the same name that aired from 1959-64 on CBS. The new version streams on the CBS All Access platform.
The 10-episode season is set to arrive midyear, with the date yet to be announced.
