In the new trailer for The Twilight Zone, out Thursday, one character utters a telling line to another: "Life sometimes goes like you don't expect it to."

The trailer gives another look at the upcoming reboot of the classic anthology series, cutting between different stories of characters realizing something in their world has shifted.  

It also gives glimpses at some of the actors who will be appearing in the show, like Adam Scott, Tracy Morgan, Kumail Nanjiani and John Cho. According to CBS, which will broadcast the show, other actors will include Greg Kinnear, Jessica Williams and Jacob Tremblay, to name a few. (Disclosure: CBS is CNET's parent company.)

Scott keeps seeing the same numbers turn up. Nanjiani thinks he has a dog, for some reason. Tremblay may or may not be a child politician.

And of course, Jordan Peele, who is executive producing and hosting, has an unsettling look to give the camera from the booth of a diner. 

The Twilight Zone's first two episodes will be available on CBS All Access April 1 and will then be released on Thursdays starting April 11.
