Twin Peaks is an upcoming American television series created by Mark Frost and David Lynch and a continuation of the 1990–1991 ABC series Twin Peaks. The limited series event will consist of 18 episodes, premiering on Showtime on May 21, 2017. Two episodes have been selected to be screened at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.
The series was developed and written by Lynch and Frost over a number of years, and directed in its entirety by Lynch. Many original cast members, including Kyle MacLachlan as FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, will return, as well as a large number of new additions, including Laura Dern, Naomi Watts, Michael Cera, Jim Belushi and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Little is known regarding 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".
Following the cancellation of Twin Peaks by ABC in 1991, and the release of David Lynch's 1992 prequel film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Lynch reportedly planned two more films, which would have continued and then concluded the series' narrative. But in a 2001 interview, he said that the Twin Peaks franchise was as "dead as a doornail."
In 2007, artist Matt Haley and Twin Peaks producer Robert Engels began work on a graphic novel continuation of the series, to be included in the "Complete Mystery" DVD box set. Haley stated: "Bob and I had a number of discussions about what the story would be, I was keen to use whatever notes they had for the proposed third season. I really wanted this to be a literal 'third season' of the show." Lynch vetoed the project, stating that he respected the effort but did not want to continue the story of Twin Peaks in any way.
