(Rolling Stone 10/6/14) “The mysterious and special world of Twin Peaks is pulling us back,” Lynch and Frost said in a joint statement. “We’re very excited. May the forest be with you.”
Frost confirmed the news with a tweet linking to the video above, which shows the series’ deceased prom queen character Laura Palmer pointing at the camera and snapping. The words “25 years later” and “2016” are superimposed around the welcome sign into the town Twin Peaks. The original series ran for two seasons, totaling 30 episodes, between 1990 and 1991 before ABC canceled it.
The new season would be set in the present day and would carry forward the story line, accounting for the quarter century that has passed. It will go into production next year…
Twin Peaks was full of some fantastically goofy humor. Here are some of my favorite moments:
UPDATE: Interview with producer, Mark Frost
I think that the main thing is — you’re different people 20 years later. You’re older and hopefully wiser, and you’ve had a lot more life experience. You’re bringing all that to the table…(Why 9 new episodes only?) Well, if you think back about the first season, if you put the pilot together with the seven that we did, you get nine hours. It just felt like the right number. I’ve always felt the story should take as long as the story takes to tell. That’s what felt right to us.
