Will viewers want to watch The Twilight Zone amid a pandemic?

The Mary Sue

The trailer for Season 2 of The Twilight Zone "comes at a very strange time in our history, where every day feels like we’re living in a never-ending episode," says Chelsea Steiner, adding: "In light of the dumpster fire that is 2020, many are not in the mood, like Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker...It’s hard to say how many people share Brooker’s feelings. While science fiction and horror are welcome escapes from the every day, audiences might be too frazzled and burned out from the horror story we’re all living. Will audiences still have a taste for shows like The Twilight Zone or darker dystopian narratives like The Walking Dead or The Handmaid’s Tale?"
