Twin Peaks, also known as Twin Peaks: The Return, is an American serial drama television series created by Mark Frost and David Lynch, a continuation of the 1990–91 ABC series of the same name. The limited series consists of 18 episodes and premiered on Showtime on May 21, 2017. The series had its world premiere on May 19, 2017, at The Theatre at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles.
The series was developed and written by Lynch and Frost over a number of years, and directed by Lynch. An ensemble of returning and new cast members appear, led by original star Kyle MacLachlan. Before the premiere, little was known about the plot of the new series, but Showtime president David Nevins stated that "the core of it is Agent Cooper's odyssey back to Twin Peaks".
Michael J. Anderson did not reprise his role as The Man from Another Place, who is depicted as a computer-generated effect and voiced by an uncredited actor.

Most episodes contain musical performances at the Roadhouse, a bar in Twin Peaks.
Some episodes include an on-screen "In memory of" credit, commemorating cast members who have died. Several of these actors filmed new material before their deaths, while others who died before the start of filming appear only via archival footage from the original series and film.
The first series of Twin Peaks, an American serial drama television series created by Mark Frost and David Lynch, premiered on April 8, 1990, on ABC. It was one of the top-rated series of 1990, but declining ratings led to its cancellation in 1991 after its second season. In subsequent years, Twin Peaks has often been listed among the greatest television dramas of all time. A prequel film directed by Lynch, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, was released in 1992. Lynch planned two more films that would have concluded the series' narrative, but in 2001 stated that Twin Peaks was as "dead as a doornail."
