Yes, it’s actually true… 25 years after its cancellation, Twin Peaks is coming back to TV. After hinting about a possible Twin Peaks-related announcement on Friday, this morning David Lynch and Mark Frost let the cat out of the bag and it is essentially the best case scenario that fans have been hoping for. A whole new season of Twin Peaks is coming to Showtime in 2016, consisting of nine episodes. Lynch and Frost will write and produce with Lynch directing every single episode himself. Are you ready to head back to Twin Peaks? Details are still forthcoming, but in the meantime, check out a short announcement video after the jump.

    Could be great, 25 is a long long time and how to bridge this is the main “problem” Frost and Lynch face. The first season with 8 Episode were a hell of ride. And if they plan it with a complete story in place for the 8 Episodes this could work again. And the Stars are mostly up and running.

  • Ahh, that music. Guess I better go watch it again!

    It’s interesting that the trend of reviving old properties is now seeping more and more into TV after it saturated Hollywood in the last few years. Not sure what to make of it. Twin Peaks’ first season is a classic. The second season was far inferior and nobody talks about it much (wasn’t it about diamonds or something?) so the legacy of the show is not sacred anyway. Bring it on.

    I’m in the middle of watching Season 2 now, after the “okay wrap it up and just tell us who killed Laura already” episode, the spark of Lynch is missing. While the show doesn’t suck at this point, Cooper is very dour whereas Lynch had him more fascinated and enthusiastic about solving crimes. And other characters are equally all over the place. I don’t have the Blu-Ray set but I suspect Lynch had a blue print of how the show was to proceed but had no other involvement in the majority of season 2, does anyone know?

  • It is happening, again!

  • I am so excited for more Lynch!

  • I always get goose bumps hearing that song. Such a score to such a show!

    You just basically answered your own question there. I believe David Lynch and co-creator Mark Frost were heavily pressured by the studio to unravel the Laura Palmer mystery sooner than they desired; he was also busy directing Wild at Heart during this time. This likely led to thinly realized subplots and exposed the lack of meaningful story arc. It began to feel like mystery for mystery sake (switch out “mystery” for “drama” and I’m starting to ape Frank here). There’s a couple other key points which exposed Lynch’s lack of involvement but I’ll leave them out, since you haven’t finished.
