During the Television Critics Association summer press tour, Showtime Networks preisdent David Nevins has revealed that production will get underway next month on David Lynch and Mark Frost’s new Twin Peaks series.
Now back on board after a dispute with Showtime over budget and contract issues, Lynch will direct every episode of the revived series, with the exact number of episodes still to be determined. He also has complete creative control over the project, with Nevins stating that: “I’ll take it when it’s ready. I hope that’s sooner rather than later.”
Nevins also touched upon Lynch’s exit and return, adding: “I never had doubt we would get him back, Twin Peaks is a huge priority for us. It became clear it would take more than nine episodes, which we had planned and budgeted for. We had to sort that out. Lynch wanted to direct all episodes, and we wanted him to direct all episodes. We are looking to be in great shape.”
UPDATE: And here’s the first teaser poster…
As yet, there’s no word on a premiere date for Twin Peaks, but its expected either next year or the year after.
