What is TWIN PEAKS day?
TWIN PEAKS day is the day when Laura Palmer is found dead and Agent Cooper arrives in Twin Peaks. You can see the above image for confirmation. In honor of TWIN PEAKS Day, Showtime has released two new posters for the series. One features Laura Palmer' face superimposed over creepy trees, and the other shows us Special Agent Dale Cooper's face superimposed over creepy trees.
These posters are creepy. And they feature trees. And they still get me nothing but more and more excited about David Lynch's (INLAND EMPIRE was his last flick in 2006) return, and the show's return in general. It doesn't take much I'll tell you.
Here is a rundown on the series via Showtime:
Immediately following the premiere on SHOWTIME, subscribers will have access to the third and fourth parts, exclusively across the SHOWTIME streaming service, SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®. In its second week, TWIN PEAKS will air the third and fourth parts back-to-back on SHOWTIME on May 28, starting at 9 p.m. ET/PT, followed by single parts in subsequent weeks.
