Last month, Showtime’s “Twin Peaks” revival was previewed in the below new teaser trailer. It’s now been revealed that the show will debut on May 21 at 9 p.m. with a two-hour premiere, Deadline reports. The third and fourth episodes will reportedly be available online immediately after the premiere via Showtime. It’s set for 18 hour-long episodes total.
Today on the Television Critics Association winter press tour, Showtime president David Nevins said, “I think this is the pure heroin version of David Lynch and I’m excited to put it out.” Asked about the possibility of a second season, he didn’t rule out the possibility but noted that the upcoming season “is designed to be a close-ended, one-time event.”
In addition to several key members of the series’ original cast (including Lynch himself), the show will reportedly feature Trent Reznor, Sky Ferreira, Eddie Vedder, and other musicians. The series’ original composer Angelo Badalamenti is seemingly on board, as well.
In honor of the film’s 25th anniversary, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is returning to theaters and is getting the soundtrack reissue treatment.
