'''''The Twilight Zone''''' is a nationally [[broadcast syndication|syndicated]] [[radio drama]] series featuring [[radio play]] adaptations of the classic 1959–1964 television series ''[[The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series)|The Twilight Zone]]''. The series was produced for the [[United Kingdom|British]] digital radio station [[BBC Radio 4 Extra]] airing for 176 episodes between October 2002<ref name="BBC4">{{cite news |last=Sherwin |first=Adam |date=February 21, 2016 |title=The Twilight Zone: Cult sci-fi show to return for BBC Radio 4 Extra series |work=[[The Independent]] |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/the-twilight-zone-cult-sci-fi-show-to-return-for-bbc-radio-4-extra-series-a6887006.html |url-status=live |url-access= |accessdate=October 27, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220629191436/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/the-twilight-zone-cult-scifi-show-to-return-for-bbc-radio-4-extra-series-a6887006.html |archive-date=29 June 2022}}</ref> and 2012. In the [[United States]], it aired on nearly 200 radio stations including [[WCCO (AM)|WCCO]], [[KSL (radio network)|KSL]], [[KOA (AM)|KOA]], [[WIND (AM)|WIND]], [[XM Satellite Radio]] channel 163 and [[Sirius XM Book Radio]]. Most of the stations aired two episodes each week, usually on the weekends and many times back to back.

Many of the stories are based on [[Rod Serling]]'s scripts from the original ''Twilight Zone'' series, and are slightly expanded and updated to reflect contemporary technology and trends and the lack of a visual component. In addition to adapting all of the original episodes aired on the TV series, the radio series also adapted some ''Twilight Zone'' TV scripts that were never produced, scripts from other Serling TV productions, and new stories written especially for the radio series. Taking Serling's role as narrator is [[Stacy Keach]].<ref name="radiodrama">{{cite news |last=Eddy |first=Cheryl |url= https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-bbc-is-bringing-back-the-twilight-zone-as-a-radio-d-1760688908 |title=The BBC Is Bringing Back ''The Twilight Zone'' As a Radio Drama |work=[[io9]] |date=February 22, 2016|accessdate=October 27, 2018}}</ref>

Different [[Cinema of the United States|Hollywood]] actors, such as [[Blair Underwood]] and [[Jim Caviezel]], take the lead role in each radio drama. In addition, several stars who appeared on the original TV series, such as [[H.M. Wynant]], [[Orson Bean]] and [[Morgan Brittany]], appear, although purposely not in the roles they originated on television. The series features a full cast, music and sound effects and is produced in the flavor of classic radio dramas but using today's technology. In addition to being an homage to the original ''Twilight Zone'' TV series, the radio dramas pay tribute to the era of classic radio drama, including allusions to radio dramas such as ''[[Gunsmoke]]'', the presence of radio legend [[Stan Freberg]] in many episodes, and the sons ([[Stacy Keach]], [[Ed Begley Jr.]]) of radio drama personalities [[Stacy Keach Sr.]] and [[Ed Begley]] as stars in the series.

Licensed by [[CBS Enterprises]] and The Rod Serling Estate, ''The Twilight Zone'' radio series is produced by [[Carl Amari]], CEO of Falcon Picture Group who hosts his own weekly nationally syndicated radio series, featuring classic radio, called ''Hollywood 360''.<ref name="Green">{{cite book |last=Green |first=Paul |title=Encyclopedia of Weird Westerns: Supernatural and Science Fiction Elements in Novels, Pulps, Comics, Films, Television and Games, 2d ed. |publisher=[[McFarland & Company|McFarland]] p. 256 |year=2016 |isbn=978-1-4766-2402-0}}</ref> The scripts from the original ''Twilight Zone'' were adapted by [[Dennis Etchison]] and others, including one episode by Chas Holloway and several by British writer M. J. Elliott. New stories by Etchison and others that are not based on the original TV series are also featured.

The sound mix was produced at Falcon Picture Group studios and later at the Cerny Sound-to-Picture studio at Cerny American Creative in [[Chicago]]. The sound engineers that worked on the series include Roger Wolski, Bob Benson, Craig Lee, Tim Cerny and Jason Rizzo. The episodes were produced and directed by Carl Amari.

==Releases==

===CD and digital===

''The Twilight Zone Radio Dramas'' were initially produced in 2002 and made available for sale on-line with the launch of the Twilight Zone Radio website.<ref>{{Cite web |title=www.twilightzoneradio.com |url=http://www.twilightzoneradio.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130726134003/http://www.twilightzoneradio.com/ |archive-date=2013-07-26 |access-date=2023-05-04}}</ref> They were originally available in audio cassette tape and CD "collections" of 4 episodes apiece. Eight episodes were produced in 2002, and eight more in 2003. By late 2004, after the first 24 episodes were released between 6 numbered collections, the series would no longer be made available on cassette and new CD "volumes" comprising 10 episodes each were introduced with the release of six additional episodes, ending the year with 14 episodes for 30 in total, which were reorganized and shuffled between these first 3 volumes.

In 2006, volumes 4 through 9 were released (60 episodes), then volumes 10 through 12 appeared in 2007 (30 episodes), and volume 13 in 2008 (10 episodes) would be the last volume made available on CD. Beginning in 2007, the shows were made available for individual MP3 download at $1.95 each, with most of volumes 14 through 17 released in 2009 and 2010 (38 episodes), and the last 8 episodes were produced between 2011 and 2012; leaving volume 18 incomplete with only 6 episodes. The final episode is titled "Another Place in Time" with no plans for further production.

By mid 2015, the website moved to hollywood360radio.net<ref>{{Cite web |title=www.twilightzoneradio.com |url=http://www.twilightzoneradio.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905063551/http://hollywood360radio.net/TZ/ |archive-date=2015-09-05 |access-date=2023-05-05}}</ref> and in 2016 the website went completely offline, and with the domain redirecting to www.classicradiostore.com.<ref>{{Cite web |title=www.twilightzoneradio.com |url=http://www.twilightzoneradio.com |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180418141811/https://www.classicradiostore.com/ |archive-date=2018-04-18 |access-date=2023-05-05 |website=Classic Radio Store}}</ref>

CDs and digital downloads of the shows can be purchased on [[Amazon (company)|Amazon]] and [[Audible (store)|Audible]] from a variety of sources, with no real consistency in show or volume or collection composition and several differing from the CD version. These two excerpts from "A Hundred Yards Over the Rim" (volume 3 episode 3) are an example.[[File:The_Twilight_Zone.Vol.3.Ep3.A_Hundred_Yards_Over_The_Rim(CD_version).ogg|thumb|right|"A Hundred Yards Over the Rim" CD version]]
