TWIN PEAKS fans, rejoice! Not only was disaster averted a couple weeks ago when, a month after departing over budgetary issues, David Lynch came back on board Showtime's revival of the series he created with Mark Frost in 1989, but there will also be double the amount of episodes originally announced.
The new season had been expected to run nine episodes, but at the recent Crypticon convention in Seattle, actress Sherilyn Fenn revealed that the episode count has been boosted to eighteen.
The return to TWIN PEAKS is expected to air on Showtime in 2016, twenty-five years after the show ended a thirty episode, two season run on ABC. Lynch is co-writing all of the episodes with Frost and will be directing each one as well. Series composer Angelo Badalamenti will be providing the score, and a large portion of the cast has signed on to reprise their roles.
The gum I like is going to come back in style!!!!
There was a season 2??
Wow!
Damn good coffee...and hot!
Oh, hell, not this $hit again?!
Yeah, the network forced Laura’s killer to be revealed. After that they had two thirds of a season that didn’t really have a coherent plot.
Will it jump the shark again with the queer dancing midget?
Jelly donuts?
They bringing back the female lead? I think she is a conservative.
It jumped the shark when Miguel Ferrer’s character went from being a no-nonsense, straight-shooter to a lovey-dovey Buddhist.
yes both laura palmer and audrey are coming back
So excited for this! And for any fans of this series the “dual Spires” episode of “Psych” was terrific!
They’re partying in North Bend, Washington tonight.
I’ll see you again in 25 years.
Anything Lynch ever touches already starts a million miles beyond having jumped the shark.
And I mean that in a good way...

Gotta be better than that new knock-off (IMO) Wayward Pines.
