At a recent visit to the Baseball Hall Of Fame, “Twin Peaks” co-creator Mark Frost spoke about the upcoming third season of the show, stating that the series won’t be coming to Showtime until 2017, not the expected 2016 date we’ve all been hearing about.
Frost stated:
We had 32 hours back in 1991-92, and with my partner David Lynch we kind of blew open that genre of the nighttime soap and took it in a whole other direction,” Frost said. “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. 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 25-year absence. We’ve finished the scripts, we start production in September, and that will be coming out on Showtime sometime in 2017.
Now, it’s worth noting that the show aired from 1990-91 but apparently the interviewer is adamant that this wasn’t a typo and that Frost didn’t misspeak, according to Welcome To Twin Peaks.
Frost also let slip that his book “The Secret Lives of Twin Peaks” will be coming out next year, instead of the original Fall 2015 release date. Looks like there are a lot of delays happening in that universe…
