Fez Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 On Showtime in 2016. Twin Peaks fans’ quarter-century wait is over. One of the top cult series of all time is coming back with a new limited series on Showtime from its original creators, David Lynch and Mark Frost. I’ve learned that the nine-episode series will go into production in 2015 for a premiere in 2016 to mark the 25th anniversary of when the series finished its run on ABC. In a fact that will delight Twin Peaks devotees, Lynch and Frost will write and produce all nine episodes, with Lynch set to direct every episode. I hear the new Twin Peaks will be set in the present day, more than two decades after the events in the first two seasons. It is expected to 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. Rumor is that star Kyle MacLachlan would be back, likely reprising his role as FBI Agent Dale Cooper who was at the center of the show. The ABC series also featured some of Lynch’s favorite character actors, and it is likely that at least some of them will return. Presumably if it does well enough Showtime will ask for more episodes beyond those nine. What a world we live in that the demand for new content is so high that apparently every and any show has a chance of coming back from the dead. Hopefully the coffee's still damn good.

denstorebog Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Yes, it says McLachlan is returning and that they will get as much of the cast as possible back together. Continuation, not reboot or remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3CityApache Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'm more worried than excited TBH. Not about the plot, I'm just not sure if it's possible to restore the original atmosphere of the series. And Twin Peaks was all about atmosphere.

Kese Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 This calms my mind: Lynch and Frost will pen all nine episodes, with Lynch directing every installment. 'Harry, I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3CityApache Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Lynch is a great director and visionary, but which of his works were particularly great in the last, say, ten years? I must admit I'm not even familiar with any works of Mark Frost during that period. So I've got my doubts. I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

Well Lynch hasn't really worked in film/television the past 10 years (except for making Island Empire in '07, which was supposed to be very good), instead focusing on painting and music, so its hard to say if he's still up for it.

3CityApache Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 And that's exactly where my doubts are coming from. This, plus my opinion, that Inland Empire was definitely not as good as his earlier movies. As a matter of fact, I found it boring and tiring to watch. IMO even Mullholland Drive was already slightly weaker than, say, Lost Highway, not to mention Twin Peaks itself. But having said that, I'd lied if I'd not admitted I am excited.

Pecan Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'm surprised it's taken this long to happen what with all of the TV production happening these days and networks now embracing the notion of the continuous storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motherofkitties Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The original series (but not the movie) is on netflix instant in the U.S. I discovered it a month or two ago and have been recommending it to everyone. I have already watched all of them twice, there is so much going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horizon Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Season one was really good.Season two made some mistakes.The movie slipped away some further. So, now Lynch can ruin the mystery some further then?heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
