8 Reasons Now Is The Perfect Time To Revive Twin Peaks

3. There Is So Much Scope For New Stories Within The Show

The murder of Laura Palmer was just the entry point into this world. Twin Peaks had a lot more depth to it then one girl's death. Shady drug dealing at One Eyed Jacks, a seedy underbelly and of course the supernatural presence of the White and Black Lodges. The second season didn't really grasp the opportunity once Laura's killer was revealed, though it returned to that darkness in its final episodes as Cooper pursued Windolm Earle into the Black Lodge to rescue Annie. Some big questions remain, some of which should remain ambiguous, but there are still opportunities to revisit some of these ideas. How long has the Black and White Lodge existed? Are there other cases of possession? Who filled the inevitable gap in the market once Cooper and Dennis / Denise took down the drug trafficking gangs? What is going on with the owls? Does the supernatural elements attract unsavoury types to Twin Peaks, causing it to be ultimately corrupt? (Similar to White Pine Bay in Psycho TV-prequel Bates Motel). We've had a Fringe tie-in so why not exploit it? The murder of Laura Palmer was the means by which Agent Cooper and us the audience were drawn into Twin Peaks but it surely must only be one incident in many of the supernatural feeding into the real world? It's an idea a revival series could build on very successfully.
