Last week David Lynch caused quite the stir with some cryptic tweets that hinted at a possible return to “Twin Peaks”. Now Deadline is reporting that Lynch and “Twin Peaks” co-creator Mark Frost are indeed returning to the titular community as one of the top cult series of all time is coming back with a new limited series on Showtime!
The nine-episode series will go into production in 2015 for a premiere in 2016 to mark the 25th anniversary of when the series finished its run on ABC.
The new “Twin Peaks” will be set in the present day, more than two decades after the events in the first two seasons. It will continue the lore and story of the original series, with Lynch and Frost committed to providing long-awaited answers and, hopefully, a satisfying conclusion to the series.
It is unclear which actors from the original series will be featured in the followup. Rumor is that star Kyle MacLachlan would be back, likely reprising his role as FBI Agent Dale Cooper who was at the center of the show.
This is some exciting news for fans of “Twin Peaks”. I’m completely stoked about this! If you have never gotten around to checking out the cult show, you can peep it in a new Blu-ray set HERE.
