'Twin Peaks' New Series News Update: Reboot Pushed Back to 2017
Fans of the CBS television series, Twin Peaks are eagerly awaiting its return to the big screen. However, it seems that they will have to wait a little bit longer, according to a statement released by the show's co-creator.
Mark Frost, one of the creators of the show along with David Lynch, discussed their series with the National Baseball Hall of Fame senior curator, Tom Shieber.
He stated that their cult classic series would air two years from now rather than in 2016 as was previously announced by Showtime.
"A lot of people always look back at Twin Peaks and say that was the start of this explosion we've had in good television drama, but we did it in a time when there were still only three networks," said Frost. "The challenge for us is to try and come back and raise the bar above what we did the last time. We're coming back with season three of Twin Peaks after a twenty five year absence. We've finished the scripts, we start production in September and that will be coming out on Showtime sometime in 2017."
The show, which first debuted in 1990 was first ordered by Showtime for a nine episode revival in October.
Showtime initially announced that it would premiere in 2016.
The most recent updates indicate that original cast member Kyle Maclachlan has already signed on to appear on the reboot project.
In the meantime, Lynch's involvement was not so steady.
In April, he said that he would be leaving the show due to the fact that not enough money was being offered to do the script to his satisfaction.
However, in May he declared that he would return to the project and it would have more segments than those originally ordered.
