As the rumours became increasingly persistent, David Lynch finally made it official on Twitter: the cult series “Twin Peaks” will return to TV.
Premiered in 1990, “Twin Peaks” was only on the air for two seasons but is remembered as one of the most influential shows in American TV history. Created by Mark Frost and David Lynch, the drama depicts the investigation into the mysterious death of Laura Palmer in the sleepy town of Twin Peaks.
A few months ahead of the show’s 25th anniversary, fans have been hoping for a third season, particularly in light of a number of enigmatic tweets from the creators. Long denied, the comeback could ultimately become a reality… but not until 2016.
David Lynch himself finally confirmed the news on Twitter on Monday, October 6 with a link to a YouTube video and a short message: “Dear Twitter Friends… it is happening again.”

The video shows the beloved Twin Peaks sign, Laura Palmer’s face in front of the red curtains and the captions “25 years later” and “2016.” The clip ends with the Lynch/Frost Productions logo, confirming that the famous director is producing this reboot. Long rumored, the third season will finally become a reality on Showtime. Excited fans are already wondering whether it will be worth the 25-year wait.
