While there wasn’t a “Twin Peaks” panel at the San Diego Comic Con, original star Ray Wise, who played “Leland Palmer”, was in attendance for Batman: Killing Joke panel. It was there that he revealed a few details for the upcoming third season, which comes 26 years after the series originally ended.

Firstly, he explains that we’ll be seeing “Twin Peaks” on Showtime in Summer of 2017. Ergo, sit back, relax, have a cup of coffee and a slice of cherry pie because it’s gonna be a bit before we hear that sublime opening theme.
Next, and this is where it gets interesting, is that Wise will be in all 18 episodes. I’m not going to spoil the original storyline of Leland Palmer for those of you who haven’t seen the show but for those of you who HAVE, this news should raise an eyebrow or two.
Lastly, Wise revealed that David Lynch directed all 18 episodes, so his touch is going to be on every second of the third season. That alone skyrockets my excitement!
Alright, “Twin Peaks” fans, what do you make of this information? Should we begin speculating or should we wait until the show is out before deciphering Wise’s role?
