It is happening all over again.
One of the top trends on Twitter right now is #TwinPeaksDay, and that’s because February 24th is the day that Agent Dale Cooper arrived in the fictional town of Twin Peaks to investigate the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer. Of course, this year’s #TwinPeaksDay is particularly exciting, as we’re now just three months away from the premiere of the revival series.
To celebrate, Showtime just unveiled two brand new posters for the new “Twin Peaks” episodes, which feature an older Cooper and a forever trapped-in-time Palmer.
Check ’em out below. And enjoy some coffee and pie today. You’ve earned it.
“Twin Peaks” will return on Sunday, May 21, at 9/8c, with a two-hour premiere. The new David Lynch-directed episodes are set 25 years after the events of the original series.
All told, the revival will consist of 18 hours. Immediately following the two-hour opener, Episodes 3 and 4 will be available On Demand and via Showtime’s streaming platform.
The surreal drama, which aired on ABC from 1990 to 1991, followed FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (to again be played by Kyle MacLachlan) as he investigated the curious murder of a homecoming queen in the sleepy town of Twin Peaks, Wash.
The revival’s cast list features the return of several actors from the original series (including Sherilyn Fenn, Madchen Amick, Sheryl Lee and David Duchovny) plus a bunch of new faces (including Enlightened‘s Laura Dern, Arrested Development‘s Michael Cera, The Thorn Birds‘ Richard Chamberlain, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and Gossip Girl‘s Jessica Szohr).
