Another season of Twin Peaks may be happening...again

How has this not been shot down yet?
The hope is almost too much.

I'd genuinely be okay with that, but I want Lucy there.
Now that she knows how cell phones work, it should be easier for her to be there.
Audrey is still a dangling thread, and you gotta have the FBI gang and Sheriff's Department ... not to mention that a new season would be a perfect opportunity to bring back Michael Ontkean (and the god dang BOOKHOUSE BOYS) and Moira Kelly ... heck, maybe even Chris Isaak, Kiefer Sutherland, and Heather Graham. And get Badalamenti a full jazz band this time! Heck, get Bohren & der Club of Gore to perform his compositions.
While we're dreaming, let's get Poets of the Fall in the Roadhouse.
Hell, the way it ended, Coop could get as much screen time as Phillip Jeffries.
I dont think it was mixed tbh, since it was number 1 on a ton of critics best TV show of the year lists and is pretty much reveared in most of my circles, but obviously there were people who hated it because it was so different to the first 2 seasons.
Maybe not critically, but you could go back and look at viewer sentiment at the time. I definitely felt like there was a not insignificant amount of people disappointed.
Oh yeah, I remember at the time in those threads, there were many people who were pissed off at how it wasn't at all like the original Twin Peaks, which is fair.
I loved season 3. If I had my way, Twin Peaks would go on forever, and every new season or movie would end on a huge cliffhanger that might never get resolved.
I don't know about ever but I think it is probably the biggest TV achievement of the decade.
But who would write and direct this? Because Lynch/Frost have shown that they clearly don't care about any of this.

This would be so perfect if we got something announced with this timing but I'm not expecting it. Though if it were happening...only about an hour left. Hold me.
It's got 94% critic/83% audience score on RT and 8.5 on imdb...
Aside from some vocal people that didn't like it it got a lot of love, especially because it was just something so different then what you'd normally find on tv, and especially episode 8.
I felt a bit disappointed at first, because it wasn't like the past seasons, and you had a lot of things set outside of Twin Peaks itself, but i warmed up to it a few episodes in an dit REALLY found it's footing part way through the series, episode 8 is one of the best episodes put to television imo and it's amazing that Showtime even allowed them to do it, I mean can you imagine ANYONE else reading that script and being like "You're greenlit!" because I sure can't.
"Gentlemen, when two separate events occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry, we must always pay strict attention."
I mean, yes, this is pie in the sky stuff, but a lot of these Season 3 omissions came down to scheduling conflicts and budget limitations. The characters played by the actors that I listed at least got mentions in Frost's books, if not inclusion in the show (in one way or another). And now that other characters are off limits due to arc completion, timeline changes, or actor death, why not bring in the holdouts?
The thing is, the script for that episode doesn't exist. It was just a small fragment, likely just a few paragraphs, in a single stupidly long script with no episodic structure and barely a semblance of continuity which would only be pieced together in editing. Showtime didn't know what shape it was going to take when they first greenlit it. I bet that on paper that sequence didn't seem all that different from any other surreal dream/vision sequence, especially when they thought it would all fit in a 9 episode run.
Frost's books especially paint a picture of an author who completely lost interest in his old creation. The characters you listed are mentioned in the books mostly for the purpose of being taken apart and mostly taken out of commission. If they're not dying, they've become alcoholics, went insane or were turned into a one-note creepypasta.
I'm sure that someone could do something interesting with these characters, I just doubt that Lynch/Frost would want to.
It's especially unkind to the women of the show, like Audrey and Annie, who have basically spent the prior 25 years living empty lives, being catatonic, or both.
Dear Tommy is out?!?!?!?!?! Whaaat, I don't see anything about it.
EDIT: Oh tomorrow, hyyype
The Donna chapter of The Secret History also reads like an attack on Lara Flynn Boyle. The only female character who's spared from a miserable fate and judgmental narration is Tamara Preston (who in the book continuity is a transparent stand-in for the author, with her weirdly misogynist, slut-shaming quips). That book is just awful.
Huh????
WTF! How have I only just found out about any of this?!!?!

Dude seems to be a health nut but I'm also certain he's on a testosterone regimen. Unusually youthful for a guy in his 50's.
Not to mention I've SEEN him recently and he looked way older than that. It's insane. Maybe it's just the makeup?
It'd make sense if everything was pretty much rebooted. S3 was pretty much about Cooper
"Back to starting positions"
It'd make sense
rebooting the timeline
It'd make sense
heh, that'd be something, wouldn't it?
S4 starts off as a remake of Twin Peaks
then like halfway through it goes completely fucking bonkers as Kyle MacLachlan and Sheryl Lee show up as the original characters
Sadly he retired from acting even tho he was really excited to Play Harry again in the reboot at first. It might have been a health related issue but no one knows since they wanted to keep it privately. I don't see him coming back.
David Lynch hates explanations and tidied up resolutions. If he was working on a new season, I think it would be rest assured that we would be leaving it with more questions than answers. I think anyone going in expecting otherwise just isn't paying attention to who they're dealing with.
I'm not worried about the show over explaining anything. Every time Frost tries to ground the storyin some way and make it too neat, Lynch will up his ante and find some way of making it even more out there. It's a pretty fun dynamic actually. They both seem to love the show, and are content with pulling it in different directions, with an ever increasingly mutated result.
