Fake-out teaser for Twilight Zone reboot interrupts Super Bowl

Monday February 4, 2019. 01:25 PM , from Ars Technica
Sunday's Super Bowl LIII was briefly interrupted by a trailer for Jordan Peele's forthcoming reboot of The Twilight Zone.

We got fresh trailers for Avengers: End Game, Captain Marvel, and a hilarious Game of Thrones hijacking of a Bud Light ad during the Super Bowl this year, among other goodies. But by far the trippiest trailer was the teaser for Jordan Peele's forthcoming reboot of The Twilight Zone for CBS All Access.
Viewers thought they were returning to the game. But then the screen flickered into static, followed by an ominous message against a black screen: 'CBS is off the air.' You could almost hear the frustrated screams of millions of football fans echoing across the nation. Naturally, it was a fake-out: it was really the new trailer for The Twilight Zone.
The image returns, and we see an empty stadium with a lone figure walking slowly across the field. Doppelgängers of the same man are dotted about the otherwise empty seats as a voiceover talks about being 'a man both nowhere and everywhere at the same time.' Then we cut to a close-up, and surprise! It's Jordan Peele! 'When truth is not the truth, what dimension are you even in?' he intones. Then a white door mysteriously appears on the field, and Peele opens it and walks through, disappearing into another dimension—presumably the Twilight Zone. Cue the familiar spooky musical theme. It didn't tell us much about the new series, but it was certainly an effective teaser.
