Showtime Brings Dale and Laura Back in New Twin Peaks Posters
The upcoming revival of David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks” may very well be my most anticipated event of 2017. I haven’t had cable or basic TV channels of any kind for nearly 25 years, but I’ll be getting a subscription just so I can watch these episodes as they air because that’s how excited I am to return to a town of cherry pie, damn fine coffee, Douglas firs, and strange mysteries.
Today marks the celebration of “Twin Peaks Day,” the day when FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper entered the now infamous town, and Showtime wants to celebrate the event by releasing two posters from the impending third season. The posters both show off the same forest background, but one has Cooper’s face faded in while the other has Laura Palmer’s. Both bear the tagline “It Is Happening Again,” which feels appropriately mysterious and sinister. There are even video versions!
The 18-part limited event series “Twin Peaks” will debut with a two-part premiere on Sunday, May 21st, at 9PM ET/PT. Immediately following the premiere, Showtime subscribers will have access to the third and fourth parts, exclusively across the network’s streaming service, SHOWTIME ANYTIME, and SHOWTIME ON DEMAND. In its second week, “Twin Peaks” will air the third and fourth parts back-to-back on the linear network, starting at 9 p.m. ET/PT, followed by one-hour parts in subsequent weeks.
