For fans of The Twilight Zone, nothing marks the transition into a new year like Syfy’s annual marathon. The 2024 lineup is set to hold for two days packed with classic episodes, offering a perfect mix of eerie, thought-provoking, and unforgettable series. This year’s schedule includes 113 of the series’ 156 episodes, which means there is a good chance some of your favorites will appear on the screen.
From classic episodes like “Time Enough at Last” and “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street” to deeper cuts like “A Piano in the House” and “Black Leather Jackets,” the lineup feels more like a carefully and intentionally curated playlist than a simple season-by-season dump. It is a delightful blend of themes that keeps viewers on their toes, which is precisely what The Twilight Zone does best.

While not as comprehensive, the H&I broadcast tends to respect the original episode lengths and tone, which still makes everything better. Whatever your decision is about this tradition, The Twilight Zone marathon certainly continues to stand as a timeless tradition. So, you can plan to be a part of it and enjoy a rerun of the timeless classic.
