8 Reasons Now Is The Perfect Time To Revive Twin Peaks

2. There Is A Precedent For Long Dead Shows Returning

Just a couple of years ago we all assumed that if a show had been cancelled, there was no chance of it ever returning. Sure there were flukes like Family Guy or Firefly returning on the big screen in Serenity but it was generally difficult for cult shows to find a footing once the grim reaper had set his sights on them. But then something changed. Arrested Development found a new lease of life on Netflix and it didn't stop there; next came the US remake of The Killing for two more seasons and the final batch of episodes of The Clone Wars. It can happen on TV too. Primeval rose from the ashes to deliver seasons four and five that were arguably better than the first three, partly due to the show having an endgame in mind. So while series cancellation is often the end for our beloved shows, sometimes there is hope. With the massive interest still in Twin Peaks today, why not bring it back? The aforementioned Netflix is the perfect platform. With Emmy-nominated shows like House Of Cards on their books and four Marvel series in development, it isn't just a dumping ground for shows you never got round to watching. Perhaps if the fans truly get they want, we could see more Twin Peaks on there too.
