13. It Will Air On Showtime In Either 2016 Or 2017
Twin Peaks, originally shown on ABC from 1989-1991, will return on Showtime. According to the show's co-creator Mark Frost,
We had a really good feeling about Showtime from the very beginning. Gary Levine, who is the second in command there, was actually the ABC executive in charge of the show when we did it 25 years ago. David Nevins was a big fan of the show, we had a great meeting with them, and David Lynch loved the artwork that David Nevins had in his office, that seemed to get him excited. We feel it's the perfect home for the show now, and we're very happy to be there.
US viewers will therefore be able to watch new Twin Peaks on network television or online via Showtime's streaming site. No word as yet for international audiences, though. Initially, as shown in the announcement trailer, the plan was for the series to air in 2016. However, hold-ups in the negotiations (more on those later) have meant that it is a possibility that the show will be put back to 2017. However, Nevins maintained during Showtime's Press Tour that he hopes the show will come sooner rather than later", with 2016 not ruled out, but that there is also no time pressure on Lynch with regard to directing the series. https://youtu.be/nNHsA4WIFvc
