The Twilight Zone New Year's Marathon Schedule Released for SYFY

Here's everything you will see during the three-day marathon.

By Patrick Cavanaugh

While a number of networks celebrate science fiction and the supernatural in October in honor of Halloween, SYFY has an annual tradition of delivering fans a massive marathon of The Twilight Zone episodes to help say goodbye to the passing year and to kick off a new year with bizarrely delightful adventures. The marathon has swelled to be an event that sprawls over three days, allowing audiences the chance to watch all of their favorite installments of the Rod Serling series, while also witnessing some hidden gems. Ahead of the marathon kicking off on Saturday, December 30th, SYFY has released the complete schedule of episodes that will be airing during the beloved event, which has been running nearly 30 years. 

Created by Rod Serling, the series launched in 1959 and ran for five seasons, scoring a total of 156 episodes. The anthology adventures delivered tales of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, with a number of the episodes concluding with a morality twist that took audiences by surprise. In the decades since its debut, the program and its stories have inspired countless imitators and parodies, with Jordan Peele going on to develop a two-season revival of The Twilight Zone back in 2019.

This year's The Twilight Zone marathon schedule is as follows:
