The original Twin Peaks ran for two seasons, concluding in 1991; the new series will pick up the events in the town 25 years later, presumably tying into an oft-cited line from the original series, when murder victim Laura Palmer said, “I’ll see you again in 25 years.”
Creators David Lynch and Mark Frost will return to executive produce the series, which Lynch also expected to direct the episodes. The pair have often dismissed talk of a return to Twin Peaks over the years, but more recently started expressing openness to the idea. Frost, in particular, seemed keen to jump in, but Lynch was memorably quoted as saying that Twin Peaks is a living narrative that continues whether fans are watching or not, suggesting to some that he had a sense for what might have happened in the interim.
Frost will write a novel, The Secret Lives of Twin Peaks, which will fill in some of the gaps and set up the story for 2016’s episodes. The book is set to hit stores in Fall 2015.
