'It's happening again': Twin Peaks creator David Lynch confirms his cult classic show is set to return with a new series

It has been 25 years since the series was abruptly cancelled in 1991 on the ABC network.
However, a return to the show had been hoped by many after murdered beauty queen Laura Palmer whispered to FBI Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) that she would see him again in 25 years.
The primetime drama was set in 1989, so it looks like Laura might make good on that promise.
The statement added that 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.'

An update for any Twin Peaks fans ...
It's been over two years since I posted this (wow). I did some googling yesterday - there's a bunch of stuff online about this. Has there ever been a tv series resurrected after 25 years?

18 episodes will air, starting May 21. A huge number of the original cast will be returning (a few have died or retired from acting); plus a bunch of new actors - the Wikipedia page lists 217 (!), including Ashley Judd, Trent Reznor(!), Tim Roth, Amanda Seyfried, Naomi Watts, and Eddie Vedder. Yes, Eddie Vedder will be in the new Twin Peaks season. Angelo Badelamenti is returning to do the soundtrack.

I'm totally stoked. In 1990 I was sharing a townhouse with a friend (actually the two of us started our first rotisserie league in 1987!), and we would make sure we were in the house every Sunday evening, would light up a couple, pop a beer, and spend a hour watching the bizzarro world of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper & friends. In the late 90's when I was touring around upper Washington state I actually went to the diner & had a cup of coffee & slice of pie.

I'm gonna have to go back & rewatch the original series. David Lynch is on record as stating that the last few days of Laura Palmer's life will be relevant for this season - that was covered in the movies (Fire Walk with Me), not the tv series - so that might require rewatching as well. Pretty cool.

I wanted to give a plug for The Jinx on HBO. I knew very little about the Robert Durst story before this and I think it has been very well done. Episode 5 of 6 is tonight, if you have anytime to check it out on HBO Go or on demand I would do it.

this is still one of the best shows in the past 2 years - and it is TRUE - and it is about a different ego driven new york real estate developer

Yeah, also three episodes in and Goliath has been very good.

Just watched episodes 3 through 8 yesterday...very good and one of my new favorite shows.

[revo]

I enjoyed Goliath also. There is so much about the show that shouldn't work, but somehow, because of the great cast, it just does.

Just finished Narcos season 2, and damn, it was better than season 1!

Also just finished Luke Cage, and it was great -- probably my favorite Marvel netflix series to date. Next up, Iron Fist.

I know I'm way late to the party, but the wife and I have been enjoying binge-watching House of Cards. We're almost done with the third season and although it's not as good as the first two it's still pretty entertaining.

it is pretty damn good - and the quality is pretty consistent

I just meant that there is a very high outrage quotient to that show and you seem to have your fill.

Maybe you have the wrong perception of me.

I do, get pissed when I discover something I think is unjust. I vocalize my disgust, outrage, disbelief and then--I let it go.

If I come across as someone who dwells on things, you have the wrong impression--Do I harp on things? absolutely, but that doesnt mean I hold them dear--I just never forget--Ever. It's a sucky thing I live with in that I recall everything from my past, what happened on certain days to what people were wearing--not on par with those who are memenetic in memory, but pretty good. So I recall things and dive back in quickly, but emotionally? No, that fades overnight.'

These asshole will get theirs one way or another. Just like that Prosecutor did after the trial was over with the sexting. The detectives and everyone else will get theirs as well because though they shielded the Dept from the first lawsuit--the second, once Avery is freed, is going to bankrupt the entire system in that town.

I don;t think they'll see jail time, thought they should, but knowing Avery owns their ass will be karma enough.


But thanks for the concern.

Just finished watching the first season, apparently there's a second season planned and with brendan's acquittal I can't imagine it will be long before Avery's conviction is overturned.

I still would like to know what you mean by your quoted comment.

If it's found out that these people railroaded Avery, every one of them should have to serve time--at the very minimum the time that was taken from the lives of the wrongfully convicted.

Tread lightly.

I'm a few years behind but I just binge watched the entire 4 plus seasons of vikings in the last 2 weeks...fantastic. I also got talked into watching Goliath. 3 episodes in and it is awesome so far.

[Hodor]

Tread lightly.

Almost through the the series, is there some bombshell evidence that appears? Does Avery confess?

Or are you referring to something else?

I mean, they're both in jail and sentenced in the series.

[DMT]

Watching this now--I'm really trying not to get pissed.

The fucking system is so broken, why should we even respect any of it?

Maybe I'm ahead of myself on this one, but so far.........all I see is coercion and obstruction.

Tread lightly.
