Twin Peaks is coming back

[Tom4784]

Twin Peaks is returning to television, it has been confirmed.

US cable channel Showtime has ordered nine new episodes, to air in 2016.

The new Twin Peaks will be a continuation of the original series, not a remake. Creators David Lynch and Mark Frost will co-write the entire season, with Lynch directing.

Lynch and Frost stirred up fan excitement on Friday (Oct 3) with a pair of tweets referencing the show.

Originally aired on ABC for two seasons from 1990-91, Twin Peaks starred Kyle MacLachlan as Dale Cooper - an FBI special agent investigating the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee).

The series won acclaim and developed a cult following for its performances, offbeat humour and surreal stylings.

A feature film spinoff Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was released in 1992, serving as both a prequel and an epilogue to the TV show.


Hmm.

I was completely hooked on Twin Peaks when it was first aired...not sure about reprising it now though

[Ammi]

..I wonder if this is why they have started to show the old ones again...I have tried to watch a few but they haven't really stood the test of time for me and I found them a bit boring....hmmm, I'm not really sure about this at all..

..I think that was a 10 star reply/approval from Ramsay, there....

surely too long a time gap to continue it?

[Xtopher]

The show ended in 91 and I was born that year. 2016 I'll be 25, soo...

:amazed: i'm watching it again on syfy channel. Best show ever created. :flutter:

[Locke.]

Great news. I've wanted to watch it for ages but never bothered because I don't think it got a proper conclusion, right? Will start it closer to the premiere.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

haven't seen this but wanted to watch it ever since it was on that 100 greatest scary moments show on C4

[Xtopher]

Thank god the whole series is on Netflix.

[Crimson Dynamo]

was obsessed

[Niamh.]

surely too long a time gap to continue it?

I would have thought so too, I loved Twin peaks originally but tbh I can't really remember it too well now

The new series starts on May 21st 2017. 18 episodes.

I think Sky Atlantic are showing it in the UK.

Omg i love this show. I was so obsessed with it when it first came out :laugh:

[James]

I've watched the first four episodes. I'm liking it so far.

Very weird and very David Lynch. The first three episodes have the weirdness turned up to the level it was at in the last episode of the original.
