Trivia

Rod Serling's original 1959 series was shot in black-and-white partly because it was cheaper; Peele's version spent millions recreating that shadowy aesthetic in color.

Cultural

The second season dropped quietly during peak pandemic June 2020, dooming it to cancellation despite containing its strongest episodes.
