Mark Frost Has No Current Plans on More ‘Twin Peaks’ Without David Lynch
It was eight years ago that “Twin Peaks” made its return with “Twin Peaks: The Return,” an 18-episode continuation of the original series that served as the show’s third season. But with the devastating passing of David Lynch earlier this year, it sounds like there’s a good chance that we’ll never see new episodes of the series that was co-created by Lynch and Mark Frost.
Prior to Lynch’s passing, however, the duo had discussed a possible “Twin Peaks” Season 4.
“We had talked a little bit about where a fourth season might go,” Frost tells Empire in the magazine’s latest issue (brought to our attention by Indiewire). “But with David having left us, it’s hard to imagine doing anything beyond this. It certainly feels like it closed the circle.”
How far along did Lynch and Frost get in their Season 4 conversations? Indiewire also points to a different interview with Mark Frost that was published by NME just last month.
Frost told NME during that chat, “We had a little bit of a recipe forming; nothing terribly formal, but it was in the wind. I felt there were uncertainties about his health, so I didn’t press him on it, but nothing really stopped the flow of his creativity.”
“We’ll see what happens. I mean, I honestly don’t know yet. It’s still kind of too soon, but it’s something I’ll get around to thinking about long and hard,” Frost said at the time.
The good news? “Twin Peaks” has remained a creator owned property, so there’s currently no chance of anyone other than Frost doing anything new with the property. As he explained to NME, “Part of our strategy going in was this was a world we had created and owned, so nobody could exploit it in destructive or stupid ways. We wanted to stay true to what we’d done, and that will certainly be my guiding principle going forward with whatever happens with the show or where it goes from here. We’ve set a standard that we have to hold ourselves to.”
“Twin Peaks” is now streaming in its entirety through MUBI.
Netflix announced today that the fan-favorite series “Devil May Cry” has been renewed for a third and final season following the recent debut of season two.
Created by “Castlevania” showrunner Adi Shankar, the animated adaptation of the popular Capcom game introduces a world where sinister forces seek to open a portal between the human and demon realms.
Caught in the middle is orphaned demon-hunter-for-hire Dante, unaware that the fate of the balance falls to him.
Across its two seasons, the series has appeared on the Netflix Global Top 10 for four weeks, with season one accumulating 21.7M views in 2025, and season two already off to a strong start, accumulating 6.4M views in just two weeks. All of which to say that the rapid renewal for the third and final season doesn’t come as a surprise.
“For those of you who have been paying attention to the episode names, I have been showing you the structure the entire time. This was always Dante’s Divine Comedy with guns and a red coat. Season 1 was Inferno. Season 2 was Purgatorio. Season 3 will be Paradiso. These three seasons make up ‘The Force Edge Saga.‘ Since its inception, ‘The Force Edge Saga‘ was designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series,” Shankar said of the announcement.
The voice cast for “Devil May Cry” Season 2 is led by Johnny Yong Bosch (“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”) as Dante, Robbie Daymond (“Critical Role”) as Vergil, and Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween) as Lady.
Daniel Kurland wrote in his second season review for BD, “Winning chemistry between Dante and Vergil, as well as a narrative that isn’t afraid to put other characters in the spotlight, helps this season overcome some of the past season’s hurdles. This is a tight, economical season that doesn’t overstay its welcome, but part of the charm and impact is weakened the second time around. “
Created by Hideki Kamiya, the first Devil May Cry game was released in 2001. There are now five main games in addition to several reboots, spin-offs, special editions, and mobile games.
