CBS All Access has made the first episode of its Twilight Zone reboot available on YouTube.

In the episode, titled “The Comedian,” a comedian named Samir (Kumail Nanjiani) takes the advice of a famous peer and makes fun of his own life during a stand-up set. What unexpectedly transpires makes Samir question the lengths he’s willing to go for stardom and whether he would truly be happier living in the limelight.

Executive produced and hosted by Oscar winner Jordan Peele, The Twilight Zone is the third reboot of the classic Rod Serling anthology that ran 156 episodes and created the blueprint for the horror anthology. The property was previously rebooted in 1985 for a three-season run split between CBS and first-run syndication and in 2002 for one season on UPN.

Set to guest star later this season on The Twilight Zone are Ike Barinholtz, Zazie Beetz, John Cho, Taissa Farmiga, Betty Gabriel, Ginnifer Goodwin, Greg Kinnear, Luke Kirby, Sanaa Lathan, Seth Rogen, Rhea Seehorn, Alison Tolman, Jacob Tremblay, Jessica Williams, DeWanda Wise, and Steven Yeun.

The first two episodes of The Twilight Zone are available for streaming on CBS All Access, with additional episodes rolled out weekly starting Thursday, April 11th.
