Showtime released the first teaser for the reboot of “Twin Peaks” on Friday.
Currently in production, “Twin Peaks” is written and produced by series creators and executive producers David Lynch and Mark Frost and is directed entirely by David Lynch.
While the full mystery awaits, fans can expect many familiar faces, including Golden Globe winner and Emmy Award nominee Kyle MacLachlan, who reprises his role as FBI Agent Dale Cooper.
“Twin Peaks” aired on ABC from 1990-1991. After going off the air, the series developed a large cult following, leading Showtime to bring it back as a limited series.
The show followed the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town who were stunned after their homecoming queen Laura Palmer was shockingly murdered.
The town’s sheriff welcomed the help of FBI agent Dale Cooper, who came to town to investigate the case. As Cooper conducted his search for Laura’s killer, the town’s secrets were gradually exposed. The mystery that ensued set off an eerie chain of events that plunged the inhabitants of Twin Peaks into a darker examination of their very existence.
“Twin Peaks” is expected to air on Showtime in 2017.
9 Top TV Turkeys of 2015: From a Damning Murder Confession to an Aborted '90s Revival
"True Detective" Season 2: The second run of HBO's anthology series was no "Fargo" Season 2, despite drawing a pretty stellar cast. After getting totally killed by critics and fans, the future of the Nic Pizzolatto show is as dark and confusing as Season 2's plot.
Tyra Banks: Two months after Tyra Banks launched her new series, "FabLife," the ex-supermodel up and quit the show. Life just got a hell of a lot less fab for co-hosts Chrissy Teigen, Joe Zee, Lauren Makk and Leah Ashley, who are likely soon to be out of a job.
Jeremy Clarkson: The popular host of the even more popular "Top Gear" had it all, and then he had to go and ruin it by punching a producer. While Clarkson is currently being sued for $150,000, the good news is he's got a new job at Amazon to help settle the racial discrimination and personal injury case.
"The View": Pencil this one in under "probably could apply in any recent year." The ABC daytime talk show lost Rosie O'Donnell (again), Rosie Perez, and Nicolle Wallace in 2015; the revolving door welcomed back Joy Behar, and hired Michelle Collins, Raven-Symone, Paula Faris, Candace Cameron Bure and probably others that don't matter enough for us to remember.
Robert Durst: Jinx! Maybe next time you're taking a leak while filming an all-access documentary, check to see if your mic is still hot before confessing to a bunch of murders, Bobby.
TLC: Eh, what took so long in canceling "19 Kids and Counting," TLC? Oh, right -- business got in the way. "19 Kids" was the Discovery cable channel's top-rated show, which still doesn't feel like enough of an excuse to wait like two months to pull the plug on a series that featured an accused child molester.
"Knock Knock Live": "Knock, Knock!" "Who's there?" Absolutely nobody. Ryan Seacrest's awkward attempt at an impromptu game show on Fox was difficult to watch, so nobody did.
"The Briefcase": Speaking of reality TV bombs, we present CBS' "The Briefcase!" The show attempted to say something socially, we suppose, but instead it was dismissed as "poverty porn." Maybe giving the poor people a box of money and pitting them against another poor family wasn't the best idea in socially conscious 2015.
"Coach": Nope, that wasn't a dream. "Coach" was actually set to return on NBC for midseason via a 13-episode order. Instead, they old gang got together to shoot a pilot, which died only somewhat quietly. We won't hold our breath for more "Major Dad."
Networks should give extra thanks on Thursday if they’re not on TheWrap’s list
