Twin Peaks Returning to TV
Move over Veronica Mars, there’s new life for another cult hit. Twin Peaks, the odd, genre-bending TV series will return to the small screen on Showtime. The nine episode limited series will be written and produced by the original creators David Lynch and Mark Frost, with Lynch directing the show.
The groundbreaking, moody, weird, stylish show became a cult hit when it premiered in April 1990, drawing 34.6 million viewers. Following the lives of the inhabitants in a small northwestern town that was stunned by the murder of Laura Palmer, FBI Agent Cooper comes to Twin Peaks to investigate the death and discover who killed her.
One of the most popular cult TV shows, the new Twin Peaks goes into production in 2015, with a premiere set for 2016, marking the 25th anniversary of the show. The new series will be set in present day over two decades after the first and second seasons continuing the story and to provide answers to questions that plagued the series. So far there’s no word on which stars of the TV show will be in the new one.
Leading up to the new series Showtime will air seasons one and two. Showtime President David Nevins voiced his enthusiasm by quoting Twin Peaks’ Agent Cooper who said, “I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.” Lynch and Frost teased about the possible resurgence of the show with twin tweets, “Dear Twitter Friends: That gum you like is going to come back in style #damngoodcoffee” referencing a phrase that Kyle MacLachlan’s Agent Cooper often said on the show. The announcement came on the heels of the Blu-ray release of the entire series in July.
