FBI Agent Dale Cooper is getting out of the Black Lodge.
Twenty three years after the cancellation of “Twin Peaks,” series co-creators David Lynch and Mark Frost are teaming up once again for a new season of “Twin Peaks” on Showtime. Instead of a reboot, it’ll be the third season of the cult classic as events take place in the present. Lynch and Frost will co-write every episode with Lynch directing. And this time, the fans of “Twin Peaks” will get their “long-awaited answers and a satisfying conclusion.”
“Twin Peaks” made its debut on ABC in 1990 and it helped usher in a new era of serialized television dramas. It was “The X-Files” before “The X-Files.” It was “Lost” before “Lost.”

The series infamously ended on a cliffhanger after ratings dropped in the second season. Kyle MacLachlan’s Agent Cooper was stuck in the mystical realm known as The Black Lodge. But there was a scene in the finale in which the murdered Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) told Agent Cooper that she would see him in twenty five years. That lines up perfectly with the 2016 premiere of “Twin Peaks” Season 3.
There is no word yet on whether the surviving cast members of “Twin Peaks” will reunite for this project. But given the intensity of fan interest in this series even after two decades off the air, the chances are pretty good that most of the cast will be onboard for this project.
