On a related note... got this added to my Twin Peaks sleeve last month ..

So bloody happy that Lynch is back, the albums and music vids over the past few years were interesting. But his cult following have been constantly been calling for something more substantial and its finally happened!

I watched it for the first time around 2 years ago. There's a lot to recommend it: good setting, a compelling, weird and dark story, and well casted eccentric characters. The worst thing about it for me was a really bad tendency to get side tracked on filler sub plots which either weren't interesting/relevant or felt like they were trying too hard to be weird. Also, James.

After Laura's murderer was revealed, it was pretty much schlock until the encounter at the black lodge.

Agreed. I'm re-watching it at the mo on Syfy & the last 6 or so episodes have been filler since the killer was revealed. Overall though,what an amazing show & one that endears such affection,I quite literally love it,the giant,the dwarf,the psychic log,what's not to love?!Cannot wait for the return,just wish it wasn't so far away.

Remember,the owls are not what they seem!

I thought that, as a show, it was fairly crap to be honest. My sister loved it so we were forced to watch it also (one TV 80's Ireland). I remember it started out OK but soon developed into a lot of nonsense that went nowhere from what I could see. I remember thinking the last thing they seemed to be doing was actually solving who killed Laura Palmer!

The owl can always see what others cannot see in the dark.

Thought the original series was great so looking forward to the revisit. Anyone hear any updates/rumors on the new series?

Like most of Lynch's work, it's not the destination that's important, it's the journey.

Dale is back

That is, quite literally, the best news I have heard all year. I punched the air when I heard.

shazzerman

Yay, Coop is back! Huuuuge news.

GreNoLi

Will it really be Coop though??

Coop is still in the Black Lodge!

Fantastic news. I am hoping they will be getting back all the old regulars.

Sheryl Lee and Dana Ashbrook Return to ‘Twin Peaks’

Sheryl Lee - Interesting because what role will she play? I'm assuming something to do with the Lodge.
Dana Ashbrook - Bobby was always pretty fun and I can see how he'd work in a second season, presumably in some sort of criminal capacity.

Nervous Wreck

^^*Third season.

Sheryl Lee makes sense if Coop is indeed still in te Black Lodge (which would make sense, given te dream he had about being there with Laura 25 years later).

mzungu

I am assuming that this must set a record for the longest gap in between seasons for any TV show.

Regardless having Lee and Ashbrook on board makes me happy...now all we need is is Sheryln Fenn, Lara Flynn Boyle & co to join the party.

Think Mysterious Cities of Gold would be well ahead. Season 1 finished in 1983 and Season 2 aired in 2012.


Be strange if Sheryl is Laura in the Lodge since she'd be unlikely to age there. Thought who's to say how things like time work. Maybe she'll be another cousin?

So we have Coop, Laura(?) and Bobby. Anyone else signed up for definite?

MelanieC

What about Bob???

madmaggie

I wonder will they keep the original theme music. Wouldn't be the same without it, and the opening sequence.

As of yet no, but I would imagine for this to work they are going to have to get a lot of the regulars back. I suppose they could recast, but id say theres lots of talks going on behind the scenes.

Frank Silva died in 1995. My guess is Dale Cooper will be Bob for this season.

Agreed. Just listening to the soundtrack now. Laura Palmer's theme is unreal stuff. Even Bach would have been proud of that.

Having said that, wasn't the point of Twni Peaks: FWWM that she was freed from the Lodge? 'Course she could be in the White Lodge...

'Into the Night', wow, what a song. I lost someone close to me around the time Twin Peaks first aired on RTE, and that song really hit home.

David Lynch Doubts Return Of Twin Peaks In 2016 Due To “Complications”

Worrying reports are coming in from readers of Welcome to Twin Peaks who attended the opening of the Between Two Worlds exhibition in Brisbane and the disturbing news has been confirmed by the Twittersphere: David Lynch last Friday night raised doubts about the widely announced return of Twin Peaks on Showtime in 2016.
During a sold out Q&A event and conversation with David Strattan at QPAC, the director and artist was asked whether “Twin Peaks was definitely happening.” David Lynch, breaking his self-imposed code of silence, responded: “I don’t know. There are complications.”

There's no way it's not happening - everybody involved would look extremely bad if they cancelled it at this stage. I think it's Lynch being overly-cautious given his somewhat beleaguered past in TV. I heard that they are hoping to start shooting around May/June this year

mzungu

For the love of God, scripts all finished and its got nothing to do with budget. I hope they get their act together, this is a worrying development. If it does end up being cancelled I hope some other network will do the good deed up picking the show up.

Agent Coulson

It's all about the money..the“Complications”

Haggling Over DVD & Streaming Sales Reportedly Holding Up David Lynch's 'Twin Peaks' Deal.

According to Will McCrabb, who has a couple of degrees of connection to the Lynch camp, it's money from DVD and streaming sales that are reportedly being haggled over. And until it's settled to Lynch's satisfaction, it seems he's ready to walk from "Twin Peaks."

Looks like the new series of Twin Peaks will not now be going into production with Showtime.

Kickstarter anyone?

Rough news out of WonderCon today — according to several tweets from convention attendees, Showtime has reportedly canceled the revival of David Lynch's cult series "Twin Peaks."

https://twitter.com/thedigitalbits/status/584820599966539776

Showtime officially announced its return back in October, but rumors have been swirling about its cancelation for the past few weeks following David Lynch's comments during an ABC Australia interview.

As of three weeks ago, Lynch was "still working on a contract" with Showtime.

Following Lynch's comments, a "source close to the show" told Entertainment Weekly that "everything is moving forward and everybody is crazy thrilled and excited.”

The source didn't have much to add about Lynch's participation.

"Twin Peaks" follows an FBI investigation into the murder of a homecoming queen named Laura Palmer. The series is known for its bizarre, Lynchian style and while it didn't last long on television (1990-1991), it inspired a feature film following its cancelation titled "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" in 1992.

Star Kyle McLachlan was set to return to the role of Agent Cooper, and series creator David Lynch was supposed to direct all nine episodes

What the **** is going on?

mzungu

Bloody gutted. I wish they had left the announcements until all this had been sorted. Hopes raised only to be dashed.

Ruu

Going on without David Lynch, wasn't offered enough money. Big shame.

mzungu

Missed the press release post up above. Hmm, going ahead without Lynch, a risky move. He is irreplaceable in his directorial style. Still its better to have Twin Peaks than not have it.

Time will tell

So it's not that David Lynch isn't getting paid enough: He's saying he's not being given enough budget to shoot the scripts he want to write. I assume that's what he's saying here. I wonder what madness he had in store?

So if it was all down to episode budget not being sufficient to implement his vision, would Lynch really jump ship and allow a new director with an low budget come on board and potentially make a hames of it? This show is his baby after all. We are not getting the full story that's for sure.

Agent Coulson

Who actually owns the rights to Twin Peaks?

Ruu

CBS I think.

Balls, feckin p**** teases!

So I guess they can do it without David Lynch if they want.

I doubt the cast would go along with it.

I wonder would Netflix think of hopping on board this and doing the needful, thats if Showtime decide to pull the plug on the project altogether.

I just can't see them giving up the rights to it for another company to make money off it.

Technocentral

Who's to say Showtime won't cough up more cash? They know that the fans only want it back if Lynch is at the helm?
