Showtime Network’s president David Nevins, today announced the return of Twin Peaks, as a limited series.
That gum you like is going to come back in style! A pair of cryptic tweets released by David Lynch and Mark Frost last Friday sent fans of the original series into a frenzy of rumor and speculation.
After it’s cancellation in 1991, the ABC series went on to have an original film Twin Peaks: Fire walk with me (prequel/sequel/epilogue) released in ’92, but many of the series unanswered questions were still left in the air.
This announcement will see the series pick up from the major cliffhangers we were left with after the season 2 finale.
Kyle MacLachlan will reprise his roll as FBI Agent Dale Cooper and to eerily coincide with the haunting message left to Dale by murdered teen Laura Palmer “I will see you again in 25 years”, the story will pick up 25 years after the series cancellation in 1991.
