For fans of the classic series, it will be a fresh perspective on one of the most iconic series of all time, and for new viewers, it will open up the possibility of a world they’ve not encountered before. Long considered to be the godfather of sci-fi, the series is set to be the perfect long weekend binge.”

So it’s not being broadcast?

killy06 · April 4, 2019, 1:54am

It sounds like it’s only the premiere episode will air on FTA similar to how they did with Tell Me A Story, with the rest of the episodes available on All Access.

Also this from 10 play

The highly anticipated series The Twilight Zone arrives on 10 All Access later this month. And in order to celebrate, and whet your appetites, you’ll be able to watch the first episode for free 10.30pm Thursday 18 April on 10, and 3am Friday 19 April on 10 play.

Then, once you’re inevitably hooked, you can sign up to 10 All Access and binge the first four episodes! Huzzah!

Disappointing. Also it’s on at 10.30? Appreciate some fresh content at that time of night but it’s like they don’t want us to notice it.

killy06 · April 4, 2019, 2:02am

Yeah 10:30 is quite late, especially since the first episode is already available it could realistically air next Wednesday at 8:30pm following Bachelor in Paradise and in lieu of the SVU repeat that is scheduled because the show is preempted in the US.

I get it though, this is a CBS All Access show and 10 really need exclusive content on the local version to drive subscriptions and offer some sort of value for money for what they’re trying to charge people. It’s just a shame it’s not being fast tracked from premiere and will lose any hype that it had about it IMO.

lexington · April 4, 2019, 2:03am

Could’ve chucked it in an 8.30 slot somewhere - given it a tonne of promotion, then filled in the ad breaks with promos for All Access shows… ending the broadcast with “catch the next two eps right now on All Access … then new eps weekly.”

missed opportunity.

TV.Cynic · April 4, 2019, 2:18am

Next Wednesday on 10 is Bull and Hawaii.

William_C · April 4, 2019, 9:01am

Since when? I don’t remember seeing it advertised as being on the terrestrial TV. Or ever screened for that matter.

TV.Cynic · April 4, 2019, 9:19am

Here’s some caps

William_C · April 4, 2019, 9:47am

Thanks for the heads up. I hope it gets replayed again. For those that missed it.

killy06 · April 4, 2019, 12:21pm

Doubt it would be replayed for a while, it aired not long after All Access launched and was available on 10 play to catch up on for a while.

Anyway, if you’re that interested in seeing it why not just subscribe for free for the first 30 days and binge the whole season ad free.

William_C · April 4, 2019, 12:42pm

I must’ve been living under a rock, in that it was available on 10 play.

Why can’t 10 do that for other shows, but at least giving us one season of it and force us to subscribe to 10 all access. Rather than just 1 ep.

The CW series, In The Dark premieres on 10 All Access today as an Exclusive Series.

TV_Addict · April 5, 2019, 2:20am

It almost seems like every CBS show is somehow related to a murder or police/crime though Wikipedia calls In The Dark a comedy-drama.

killy06 · April 9, 2019, 11:36pm

Another new Exclusive Series launching today, CBS series The Code which is being fast tracked to the platform weekly after airing in the US.

The Twilight Zone takes shoppers into another dimension.

To celebrate the Australian launch of the highly anticipated sci-fi series The Twilight Zone on 10 All Access, 10 and experiential agency Urban have installed an infinity room at Westfield Sydney where shoppers can immerse themselves in a dimension as mind-bending as the show.

The experience begins in a dark holding room where people can view a trailer of the new series. They’ll then continue through to the infinity room where the iconic Twilight Zone music plays continuously. As they leave, they’ll then have the opportunity to experience more by signing up to a free month’s trial of 10 All Access.

The activation is open until Sunday 28 April.

Network 10’s head of marketing Brad Garbutt said: “The Twilight Zone is one of the most anticipated sci-fi series of the year. We’re pumped that Aussies can binge the series on 10 All Access. It already has incredible momentum and, after the first four eps dropped on Good Friday, it was the #1 show on 10 All Access over the Easter long weekend. With this activation, we’re bringing audiences into The Twilight Zone and into another dimension. They’ll enjoy an out of this world experience full of endless lights and reflections. It’ll be an Instagrammer’s dream.”

Account director at Urban Holly Dover said: “We’ve drawn inspiration from Yayoi Kusama, and the public’s insatiable appetite for a unique insta-moment to create this mind-bending Twilight Zone experience."

The activation is part of a broader campaign featured across outdoor, TV, cinema, digital taxi backs, online and social media developed by Spark Foundry.

The first four episodes of The Twilight Zone are available to binge on 10 All Access with a new episode dropping every Friday. 10
