Rod Sterling’s The Twilight Zone isn’t just returning as an anthology-style movie. It was announced this morning that the iconic series is also receiving a stage adaptation.
Olivier-winning director Richard Jones will helm the show adapted by Anne Washburn, reports The Hollywood Reporter. While the notion of adapting The Twilight Zone onto the stage sounds pretty unexpected, Jones is known for a distinct and imaginative style which will no doubt mix with the genre-defining source material in interesting ways. There are currently no details on what kind of story the play will tell, or who’s been cast in the production.
Producer CBS senior vice president of consumer products Veronica Hart says:
“The Twilight Zone was an ingenious mixture of morality tales, fables, and fantasy that are as relevant today as when they first aired. The play allows these powerful stories to be experienced in an entirely new way in order to reach a whole new audience.”
How would you do a stage adaptation of The Twilight Zone? I saw a play on the West End a while back called Ghost Stories that told three separate scary stories through a skeptic narrator who served as a framing device. At the conclusion, he finds himself in his own ghost story. Adapting an anthology series like The Twilight Zone is definitely a tricky task, and I’m really curious about how it will play out.
The production will premiere at the Almeida Theatre in London, with previews starting December 5th and limited engagement set to run through January 27th. What do you think about a staged Twilight Zone?

It’s very seldom that we see rapper T.I. pour out his heart, but on Friday (July 14), he did just that.
The occasion? The birthday of his now estranged wife, Tameka ‘Tiny’ Harris. While the world seemingly watched their split play out publicly on their reality TV, the two seem to still be spending time with one another. Being married for seven years and having known Tiny for over a decade, their relationship and bond is apparently one that can’t be broken. And T.I. made sure he made that known while wishing her a happy birthday on Instagram.
He posted a 10-photo collage capturing their many moments throughout the years with the caption, “Happy Gday to my beautiful lovely lil loud mouth, argumentative know it all, sh*t kickin,Cap a** Southside Patna. @majorgirl.” “As a couple We’ve experienced some of the greatest moments in our lives together & burnt a hole in a bunch of big bags of money, in some of the most beautiful places in the world. And while I may have f*cked up & still have so many more f*ck ups in me on so many levels, one thing that’s never gon’ change is how I consider you….You are, have been, & always will be one of the Best Friends I have in the world,” he continued.
T.I. went on to talk about the evolution of their relationship and where they stand today amid the drama. “While most of these nosey, no business havin’, overly-opinionated, fake caring a** people would see it as a break up… I see it differently,” he wrote. “In my eyes, we didn’t break up, we EVOLVED into something unconditional. A relationship that supersedes fidelity, physical presence, or any other disagreement we may have faced.”
Tiny responded to his message, saying, “Aww Big Daddy can’t do nothing but say I will always love you forever and a day.”
She went on to say, “My one of a kind King/patna lol…I’ll let you slide this time with that one,” she added. “Anywho [thanks] for everything especially those [seven] kids. Now show up and show out like I know you to do!”
While their divorce is still pending, T.I. and Tiny were spotted vacationing together her in St. Lucia. Whether or not these two get back together isn’t really any of our business but we wish them both the best.
Happy birthday, Tiny! Read the full birthday message T.I. sent Tiny below.
