Twin Peaks - Latest Updates on Shows Future

Apr 6, 2015

Share on Reddit


Update: 10:04 Here is the official statement from Showtime

We were saddened to read David Lynch’s statement today since we believed we were working towards solutions with David and his reps on the few remaining deal points. SHOWTIME also loves the world of Twin Peaks and we continue to hold out hope that we can bring it back in all its glory with both of its extraordinary creators, David Lynch and Mark Frost, at its helm.

Update: 6th April Looks like the show is still on but with no David Lynch






Update: 23:11 Here are a couple more tweets that seem to confirm it.




Thanks to Don J for the heads up.

  1. This is so sad for the people who worked hard to make this show happen.

  3. How stupid was it to announce this project until all the deals were made.

  4. I really hope so.

    Thought I heard something about contract issues with Kyle MacLachlan and issues from Lynch. I just figured Showtime wouldn't have announced the return of Twin Peaks so quickly if they had worries about their two biggest obstacles.

  6. shot to fast Showtime, hyping something up only to can it later on isn´t going to create customer trust

  7. I blame this on Lynch. He seems like an incompetent showrunner.

    But yeah, Showtime should have made sure everything's OK to go.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Interesting...

    ReplyDelete
  9. How come that wasn't the plan from the get-go is my question....

    ReplyDelete
  10. I'm 100% sure he didn't make things easy, but I doubt this was all his fault.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Funny: one of the first shows of TV Reboot Mania is the first one to get cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Something like this had to happen eventually, it all can't be resurrections. But it was awfully handled by all parts, nothing should have been oficially announced If there were still terms to agree on.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Damn, I was just a toddler on the original Twin Peaks era, but I was looking forward to this... They shouldn't have announced it if the deal wasn't finalized already. What was the point?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Yes one of these unnecessary sequels, reboots and prequels is dead now there's many more to go. Lol.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Knowing Lynch he sure wasn't easy to deal with but the guy kept working hard on keeping Twin Peaks alive, so while he might be a tough personality to deal with I doubt that it was him

    ReplyDelete
  16. not really unnecessary, Twin Peaks was left open ended. Unlike some other shows wich are ressurected while having a real ending. Twin Peaks actually requires some closure

    ReplyDelete
  17. So you are saying that Showtime either gave him a low ball budget (which I find really hard to believe) or were not willing to let him go off and make whatever he wanted without at least reading the scripts (which I would believe)?

    ReplyDelete
  18. 25 years later and this show still has disastrously bad luck.

    ReplyDelete
  19. That's too bad. I thought Kyle was signed in January or something. Perhaps the budget for what Lynch wanted to do was way out of whack.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I would bet on a variety of issues


    - actor contracts, not many former Twin Peaks alums got big but some schedule issues will always arise


    - schedule problems, showtime might've had some expectations in releasing the show while Lynch probably wanted to take time


    - budgetary constraints, this is showtime. Why do you think they relocated Homeland to south africa? Cheaper shooting enviroment


    - personality clashes


    - limiting Lynchs vision, wich is usually his problem. I get both parties there. Showtime wouldn't want to produce something unairable (well, with all their reality crap they already do but that's debatable) and Lynch is a true artist who doesen't want to be limited by outside forces

    ReplyDelete
  21. I read this weeks ago in one of the trades,and from what i remember it was because of Lynch.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Homeland season 4 was set almost entirely in Pakistan, South Africa might be cheaper than Morocco, Israel or Turkey, but they did not move the show from North Carolina or anywhere else in the US to South Africa to save money.

    ReplyDelete
  23. you can fake your locations pretty much everywhere with the right budget, I still love how some TV movies and shows shoot for cheap in europe only to fake US locations.


    Cape Town is one of the best enviroments for shooting your stuff, crew members are cheap, luxurious housing for your can be arranged relatively cheap and pretty much the clash of super-rich and super-poor allows you to create a cheap as hell work enviroment.


    I know no one that wouldn't want to shoot down there thanks to the cheapness of it all. In case you have a multi episode/season order that goes beyond 30 episodes it's always best to shoot there. Saf3 uses exactly that advantage

  24. not sure it's the money that's the issue

    ReplyDelete
  25. It's possible some important characters couldn't be brought back as at least 1-2 actor(s) dies. It wouldn't be the same show with missing pieces.

  27. You beat me to it. It sounds like everything has been written and it's just that Lynch won't be directing.

    ReplyDelete

  29. Lynch did not direct all the episodes from the original series - there were quite a few directors used. So if they have the scripts written already by Lynch and Frost and Kyle M and other actors in place , why can't it proceed.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'm not buying it until I get the official news and how can they cancelled it after just releasing the Twin Peaks returns promo?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Lynch has always been notoriously difficult and mercurial to work with. Hopefully they might still get it all put back together again. I really hope so because I was so very excited about its return - all these years I have wished it had gone out in a better fashion. Evil Agent Dale - no way....

    ReplyDelete
  32. Bad move Showtime, really bad move.

    Well tv.com has tweets from David Lynch with a timestamp after these tweets. Apparently only Lynch is out, Showtime is not... yet.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Okay, so word is that it's not yet cancelled, but why did Showtime announce it before all the deals had been made? What a mess!

    ReplyDelete
  35. What a mess, don't announce a show without proper deals in place. Especially a beloved show's return which many fans were looking forward to.

    ReplyDelete
  36. i hope netflix will buy the rights to do the show revival

    ReplyDelete
  37. Probably creative control, with money being just one of many factors.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Oh, no!! Showtime, please don´t do it without David Lynch. It will never turn out good. :-(
