It’s that time of year again. Syfy’s Independence Day Twilight Zone marathon is upon us. But if you got spoiled by Syfy’s epic marathon of all 156 episodes over New Year’s, I’ve got some bad news for you: They’re only airing 57 episodes this weekend. We’ve still got the entire schedule below.
There are plenty of other ways to watch The Twilight Zone on streaming services if you’re so inclined. Amazon Prime currently has Seasons 1, 2, 3 and 5 streaming. And Netflix has the same. Hulu Plus even has the odd duck season 4. (That’s the one where the episodes are an hour instead of a half-hour.) And all five seasons are available for purchase on iTunes.
Some people prefer to watch the Twilight Zone marathon on Syfy out of a sense of tradition, and I begrudge no one that privilege. But if you want to cheat on an episode here and there I promise not to tell. The schedule is below, but I’ve included links to each episode on streaming services. Your secret is safe with me.
