In 2002, The Twilight Zone was revived as a nationally syndicated radio drama. Many of the stories were based on Rod Serling's original scripts and were slightly expanded and updated to reflect contemporary technology and trends (e.g., the mention of "cell phones" and "CD-ROMs" which, of course, weren't around when the television show aired in the 1960s). Taking Serling's role as narrator was Stacy Keach. A different Hollywood actor and actress, such as Blair Underwood and James Caviezel, took the lead role in each radio drama. The radio series was produced by the Falcon Picture Group and scripts from the original Twilight Zone were adapted by Dennis Etchison (one episode by Chas Holloway). In Britain it has been heard on the digital channel BBC 7. In the United States, it airs mainly in small markets (with the occasional large market) late at night.

The original TwilightZone ran from October 2, 1959, to 1964, a revival ran on CBS from 1985 to 1988, and a second revival starring Forest Whitaker as host and narrator aired in 2002 on UPN for one season.
A TV movie, TwilightZone: Rod Serling's Lost Classics, aired in 1994, was narrated by James Earl Jones, and was a compilation based on two unused TwilightZone scripts.
Though the original TwilightZone has largely disappeared from syndication it is still aired on the cable and satellite television channel the Sci-Fi Channel.
The TwilightZone is the name of a television series created (and often written by) its narrator and host Rod Serling.
TwilightZone’s writers frequently used science-fiction as a metaphor for social comment; networks and sponsors who had infamously censored all potentially "inflammatory” material from the then predominant live dramas were ignorant of the methods developed by writers such as Ray Bradbury for dealing with important issues through seemingly innocuous fantasy.
Beginning in the summer of 2002, episodes of the original The TwilightZone began to be adapted for radio.
