(UPDATED 12/31/23, 12:03AM CT)

As we send off 2023 and ring in 2024, Syfy and H&I Network (Heroes & Icons) are once again airing their annual fan-favorite New Year’s Eve marathons of episodes from Rod Serling’s classic 1959-64 sci-fi/fantasy anthology series The Twilight Zone.

This year’s episode lineups for both channels feature a nice mix of familiar classics along with some lesser-known entries. There are, of course, many crossovers of classics episodes between the channels (but on different days and at different times), but some episodes are airing on one network and not the other.

In total between the two networks’ marathons, you’ll get to spend nearly three days in the Zone and enjoy the following episodes:
