ENTER THE FIFTH DIMENSION: Yes, the New Year represents the perfect occasion for a marathon of Rod Serling’s sci-fi/horror anthological masterpiece

 


The Twilight Zone New Year’s Marathon 2023 / 2024 Schedule and Start Times

You are now entering ... a year-ending Twilight Zone marathon on Syfy. Here is the 2023-2024 schedule.

The end of any given year is a strange liminal space outside of time where one begins to reflect upon the days that were and the uncertain days still to come. It’s weird. Some might even say it’s a zone … of twilight. Yes, the New Year represents the perfect occasion for a marathon of Rod Serling’s sci-fi/horror anthological masterpiece. 
And sure enough, Twilight Zone marathons on TV have been a mainstay of the season for quite some time.
The New Year’s Eve Twilight Zone marathon is one of TV’s most consistent and perhaps least understood traditions. 
  • The yearly marathon has been taking place since at least 1980 but no one is quite sure who started it (regional TV stations New York’s WPIX or Los Angeles’ KTLA are the two best candidates) or when it even made the jump from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve. 
  • What is certain is that somewhere along the line, the TV powers that be decided that the best way to usher out any given year is to enter into the fifth dimension beyond mere sight and sound.
This year’s marathon on Syfy has some major Twilight Zone classics from seasons 1 through 5 of the original 1959 series. Read on to find the schedule for the 2023/2024 Twilight Zone marathon!
