If, like me, the above image brings back memories of both confusion and wonderment, I’m guessing this piece of news will excite you. Twenty-five years ago, in the finale of the great David Lynch TV series Twin Peaks, Laura Palmer sat in the ‘Red Room’ and told Agent Cooper (in typical reverse speech) “I’ll see you again in 25 years”. Turns out the wrapped in plastic girl was telling the truth, because show creators David Lynch and Mark Frost have just announced that a third series of Twin Peaks will air on Showtime in 2016:
The groundbreaking television phenomenon, Golden Globe and Peabody Award-winner Twin Peaks will return as a new limited series on Showtime in 2016. Series creators and executive producers David Lynch and Mark Frost will write and produce all nine episodes of the limited series, and Lynch will direct every episode. Set in the present day, Twin Peaks will continue the lore of the original series, providing long-awaited answers and a satisfying conclusion for the series’ passionate fan base.
I’m not sure the phrases “David Lynch” and “long awaited answers and satisfying conclusions” have been used together in too many sentences before, but who cares? Twin Peaks is coming back, and it looks like at least some of the old gang are returning as well. Damn good show!
