Twin Peaks Gets Official Premiere Date And Two-Hour Premiere Event

It’s time to grab a cup of coffee and a nice slice of cherry pie from the Double R Diner, as Showtime has just announced the premiere date and episode count for the Twin Peaks revival series.

Mark your calendars for May 21 at 9:00 PM, as the series’ continuation will kick things off with a two-hour episode. Immediately following the premiere, episodes 3 and 4 will be available on Showtime’s digital platform.

Showtime’s president David Nevins also confirmed that the series will get a whopping 18 episodes, which is ten longer than the show’s first season and two shorter than the show’s second season.

In a day and age where most shows on HBO and Netflix have merely 10-13 episodes, knowing that Twin Peaks will get 18 is fantastic. Another interesting thing to note is that, much like how the pilot episode of the series ran feature-length, this new season’s premiere will also be feature-length.

Does this mean we’ll get a whopping recap of what has previously happened in the small town or could this premiere event be setting up new mythology and mysteries? I guess we’ll have to wait until May 21 to find out!
