CBS All Access is giving Jordan Peele’s The Twilight Zone a black and white revamp.

The entire inaugural season of the remake will be streamed in monochromatic colors as an ode to the original. Although the show’s content will not be altered, it will please die-hard fans who have been adjusting their TV settings in order to mimic Rod Sterling’s version in the ’60s.

Peele’s reboot premiered earlier this April with eight episodes that star Kumail Nanjiani, Adam Scott, Sanaa Lathan, Steven Yuen, John Cho, DeWanda Wise, Taissa Farmiga and Ginnifer Goodwin. The series follows Sterling’s formulaic exploration of alternate dimensions, modernized with today’s technological and cultural advancements.

Watch the full trailer below. The black and white version of The Twilight Zone will be available starting May 30.

In case you missed it, CBS has renewed The Twilight Zone for a second season.
