U Ú[ˆ XZܤ Returns As Showtime Limited Series From David Lynch & Mark Frost

[Ubiquitous]

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. I hear that star Kyle MacLachlan will be
back, reprising his role as FBI Agent Dale Cooper who was at the center
of the show. UPDATE: MacLachlan hinted at his return as Cooper on
Twitter later today: �Better fire up that percolator and find my black
suit :-) #Twinpeaks.�

The ABC series also featured some of Lynch�s favorite character actors,
and it is likely that at least some of them will return. Leading to the
2016 debut of the Twin Peaks limited series, Showtime will re-air the
first two seasons of the series, owned by parent CBS Corp.

�What more can I say � Twin Peaks with David Lynch and Mark Frost on
Showtime in 2016!� said Showtime Networks president David Nevins. �To
quote Agent Cooper, �I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have
a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.��
Added Lynch and Frost, �The mysterious and special world of Twin Peaks
is pulling us back. We�re very excited. May the forest be with you.�
Lynch and Frost fueled speculation about a possible Twin Peaks revival
with identical cryptic tweets posted at 11:30 AM Friday: �Dear Twitter
Friends: That gum you like is going to come back in style!
#damngoodcoffee�.
�Damn good coffee� was a phrase frequently used by MacLachlan�s Agent
Cooper on the show, expressed typically while eating cherry pie in the
town�s cafe. The tweet�s 11:30 AM time stamp matched the time Cooper
first entered the town of Twin Peaks to investigate the murder of
homecoming queen Laura Palmer. Lynch and Frost picked the same 11:30 AM
time today to tweet another clue, �Tween Peaks on Showtime.� The two
tweeted an announcement video making it official:

The Twin Peaks limited series comes on the heels of the July Blu-ray
release of the entire original series by Showtime sibling CBS Home
Entertainment.

Groundbreaking, genre-bending, stylish, moody and a little weird, Twin
Peaks became a phenomenon when it premiered in April 1990, with the
two-hour opener drawing mind-boggling 34.6 million viewers. The series
followed the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town who were stunned
after Palmer is shockingly murdered. The town�s sheriff welcomed the
help of FBI Agent Cooper, who came to town to investigate the case. As
Cooper conducted his search for Laura�s killer, the town�s secrets were
gradually exposed. Here are the series� opening credits, set to the
haunting theme by Angelo Badalamenti.

After a very strong first season, viewership for Twin Peaks tapered off
in Season 2 when the Laura Palmer murder was resolved midway through the
season. Despite the series� cancellation after 30 episodes, it was never
forgotten, with its cult following only growing as years went by.
Lynch�s 1992 movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, which he directed from
a script he co-wrote with Robert Engels, served as a prequel to the
series. It left most questions from the show unanswered, so fans
continued to wish for another season. But for Lynch, Twin Peaks seemed a
closed chapter. Asked in a 2001 Empire interview whether he would ever
go back to the show, he said: �No. Uh-uh. It�s as dead as a doornail.�
Thankfully for the fans, he changed his mind.
Later on Monday, Madchen Amick � who played Shelly Johnson on Twin Peaks
� tweeted:
