  • The ‘Twin Peaks’ Revival Teaser Is Just David Lynch and a Doughnut

    twin peaks, revival, teaser, david lynch, doughnut, donut, gordon coleIn keeping with the original show’s offbeat nature, a new official teaser for Showtime’s upcoming “Twin Peaks” revival series features just two things: creator David Lynch, and a glazed doughnut.

    The short clip aired on the premium cable network over the weekend, and was shared by Showtime’s social media accounts, too, teasing that Lynch would be back as FBI regional bureau chief Gordon Cole. And it literally features nothing but Lynch-as-Cole sitting in a chair, wearing a hearing aid, and chomping on a doughnut while the iconic “Twin Peaks” theme song plays.

    The teaser ends with a shot of the show’s title card (which also doubles as the town’s welcome sign), and touts “The Return” of the series, which is due to air on Showtime in 2017. Aside from Lynch, among those reprising their roles include original cast members Kyle MacLachlan, Sherilyn Fenn, Madchen Amick, Sheryl Lee, Dana Ashbrook, David Duchovny, Miguel Ferrer, Grace Zabriskie, Peggy Lipton, Ray Wise, Wendy Robie, Russ Tamblyn, and Catherine E. Coulson.

    And that’s not all. Of the whopping 217 members of the cast this time around, there are some pretty big names among the show’s newcomers, including Monica Bellucci, Michael Cera, Laura Dern, Ashley Judd, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor, Amanda Seyfried, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, and Naomi Watts.

    Showtime will offer the full original ABC seasons of “Twin Peaks” on its streaming service beginning on December 26. An airdate for the revival series has yet to be announced, but it’s expected sometime in early 2017.

  • ‘Twin Peaks’ Fans to Get a Special Holiday Treat from Showtime


    “Twin Peaks” fans have the cult series’ long-awaited third season to look forward to when it debuts on Showtime in 2017, but in the meantime, the premium network is offering a special holiday surprise.

    Starting Dec. 26, Showtime will make the entire original series available to subscribers on the network’s streaming service, Showtime On Demand, and Showtime Anywhere. Fans, old and new, will be able to binge to their hearts’ content leading up to the new series. Who knows? The mystery of homecoming queen Laura Palmer’s murder may be the perfect antidote to too much holiday cheer.

    The first two seasons of “Twin Peaks” aired between 1990 and 1991. ABC put the series on hiatus before ultimately canceling it, but not before “Twin Peaks” managed to build up a loyal fan base that has only grown in the 25 years since. Now that a third season is finally becoming a reality, the show is bringing back many of its original cast and crew, including Kyle MacLachlan, who played FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, and creators David Lynch and Mark Frost.

    The series will head back its strange Washington town — the fictional Twin Peaks, of course — in the episodes to come. Thanks to Showtime (not to mention the painful two-and-a-half-decade wait), fans will be ready.
