Loved the first series of it but thought the second dragged on too much. Could be interesting to revisit the town 25 years later.

One of TV's most cherished cult series, Twin Peaks, will be returning to the small screen as a limited, nine-episode series on Showtime in 2016. The show's creators, David Lynch and Mark Frost – who teased its return with twin tweets last week, each writing "Dear Twitter Friends: That gum you like is going to come back in style! #damngoodcoffee" – are currently working on scripts. Lynch is planning to direct each episode. The cast has yet to be revealed.


"The mysterious and special world of Twin Peaks is pulling us back," Lynch and Frost said in a joint statement. "We’re very excited. May the forest be with you."
Frost confirmed the news with a tweet linking to the video above, which shows the series' deceased prom queen character Laura Palmer pointing at the camera and snapping. The words "25 years later" and "2016" are superimposed around the welcome sign into the town Twin Peaks. The original series ran for two seasons, totaling 30 episodes, between 1990 and 1991 before ABC canceled it.


Lynch and Frost first considered revisiting the series about three years ago, inspired by a scene where Palmer said, "I'll see you again in 25 years." "That suddenly seemed like an entry point," Frost recently told The New York Times. "Everything flowed from there."
The new season would be set in the present day and would carry forward the story line, accounting for the quarter century that has passed. It will go into production next year.
"What more can I say – Twin Peaks with David Lynch and Mark Frost on Showtime in 2016!” the channel's president, David Nevins, said in a statement. "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.'"


The original series centered FBI special agent Dale Cooper, played by Kyle MacLachlan, attempting to solve the murder of Laura Palmer, as he faced a number of supernatural phenomena. The residents of Twin Peaks were also notable for their strangeness, including characters who carried logs and a shadow universe where one character spoke backwards.
Showtime plans to rebroadcast both seasons of the original series in advance of the new season.

Just watched the orignal in full in the last month and I'm excited about this. The part where the Old version of Agent copper appears May make sense now.

Roquentin

i think twin peaks had a profound influence on how tv shows are made.

I've never seen the original Twin Peaks but I've heard it's as odd as fúck, I like odd.. Could anyone compare it to any shows on at the moment? I'm thinking about giving the original a shot...

Nope, because it's just too weird! I'd struggle to honestly think of something in its ilk.

Delighted by this news and a cable network should mean less interference (Showtime aren't quite as hands off as some of the others, but it's better than mainstream). I really hope we get a resolution to the S2 cliff-hanger.

As soon as I read "too weird to compare to any other programme" my mind was made up. I'm definitely gonna watch this to see what all the hype is about.

I hope it doesn't let me down like The Leftovers did...

Indeed. In fact it influenced a massive chunk of genre TV. It's what allowed shows to be weird, to have longer plot arcs, to not just be procedurals. It gave ambiguity as a story telling tool.
Sure it's a bit ropey in the mid point of season two but it picks up towards the end. It ends on a cliff hanger that - FINALLY! - will be resolved.

If you're unclear about some bits, you can ask the log - it saw things. And yes, that will make sense.

yea i think it set the template for shows like breaking bad and the sopranos wherein you build a show around a season and not an episode like CSI for instance

Is this the largest space of time between a cliff hanger and it's resolution in TV history?

CastorTroy

Was wondering myself.
This will be 25 years between series.

Can't remember if had a cliffhanger but the second series of Mysterious Cities of Gold aired 29 or 30 years after the first.

Meant to actually create a thread to see if there were any other shows with big gaps between series.

Have had the Twin Peaks theme stuck in my head since reading the news this afternoon.

Exactly. Kind of like The Killing at a high level for the first season, but that's just because it's 1 murder over the course of the season, in reality it's a lot quirkier with a terrific cast of oddballs that make each other seem normal - never seems quirky at the time.

Oh, and the doughnuts! I can't wait to see how the new series stacks up

Ben Horne

There is an upcoming Fox series called Wayward Pines that looks a lot like Twin Peaks, aside from that, nothing was anywhere near it.

As excited as I am, I am not sure if I want to see a resolution although the blu-ray had some extended scenes that didn't make the cut that got me intrigued about the

aftermath of Cooper/BOB exiting the lodge with Annie

.

Sad that Don S. Davis is no longer with us.
