Widely considered one of the most groundbreaking and influential broadcast series of all time,Twin Peaksfollowed the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town who were stunned after their homecoming queenLaura Palmerwas shockingly murdered. The town’s sheriff welcomed the help of FBI agent Dale Cooper, who came to town to investigate the case. As Cooper conducted his search for Laura’s killer, the town’s secrets were gradually exposed. The mystery that ensued set off an eerie chain of events that plunged the inhabitants of Twin Peaks into a darker examination of their very existence. Twenty-five years later, the story continues…
The show was originally set to debut sometime this year, 25 years after the show went off the air, which would have tied into a line from the show’s series finale back in 1991, where Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) told Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), “I’ll see you again in 25 years.” The show was initially slated to span nine episodes, and there were rumors that it was expanding to 18 episodes. As it turned out,David LynchandMark Frostwrote one massive script that was filmed much like a huge movie, with the producers then cutting all of the footage into individual episodes after production wrapped. Showtime still hasn’t confirmed how many episodes this new season will span quite yet.
