David Lynch reportedly in talks to reboot ‘Twin Peaks’

2013 is already an exciting year for new TV seasons. We’ve got “Girls” Season 2 coming back in a couple weeks, and the new “Arrested Development” season dumping onto Netflix all on one glorious day this spring.

And today we learn that, according to highly unsubstantiated rumors (but don’t they always start that way?) David Lynch has been meeting with NBC to discuss a reboot for a new season of “Twin Peaks.”

Here’s what we know about a potential “Twin Peaks” season 3, from one anonymous internet poster who claims to have been in on the meeting:

  • Lynch wants to be very hands-on on the project.
  • Lynch wants most of the original cast back.
  • Lynch was adamant that the new season start by creating the first red room scene from season 1.
  • The new season would all take place in the present day.
  • There are a few other semi spoiler alert tidbits you can read here if you want.

    David Lynch has always been a journeyman—the last years saw him do everything from cameo on “Louie” to launch a major initiative for transcendental meditation to starting his own coffee line. But “Twin Peaks” Season 3 would be Lynch at his best.

      I'm calling bullshit. No, seriously, not only did he say he would never work on TV again (apart from his satiric appearance on "Louie"), he vowed to never go near the NBC bastards again, after what they did first to Twin Peaks, and then turning down the Mulholland Drive series after the pilot had already been filmed.

        Yeah, I think that if this was going to happen, then it would have been done ages ago. Mark Frost did talk about continuing it as a comic a while back, though. Matt Haley did some character designs that were still on the web last I checked.

        @Rick… the "NBC bastards" never did anything to "Twin Peaks," because the show was on ABC. Likewise "Mulholland Drive." Next time you call bullshit, get your facts right.

        Robert Burnett NBC, ABC, CBS, they're all the same. My point was that Lynch is as likely to work with them again as he is to produce the next Disney film. When I went to see him at the AFI theater in Silver Springs, MD, for his Inland Empire tour, he said he had vowed to never work on TV again, that they had screwed him over for the last time. There was a certain finality in what he said that we knew he was serious. Now you are nitpicking over whether it's NBC or ABC. Nice play, douche.

        And NBC, like ABC, has proven that they absolutely do stuff like that–look at what they did to Conan O'Brien. Love him or hate him, he was given the Tonight Show because he could carry a show, and the ratings were solid, but NBC wanted the ratings to sky rocket right off, so they fired him after half a year. If they'd do that to somebody like Conan, why would Lynch go near them?

      Would be great if true! In the final episode of season 2, Laura Palmer said to Dale Cooper "I'll see you in 25 years". Not too far off the mark. (That would put the date of their next meeting at 2016-ish I guess!)

      A new Twins Peak? Interesting considering its been over 20 years now! Wow are you kidding this is old news to me! hopefully it will be like Bates Motel but maybe even creepier and better this is in long time for a remake.
      or a version of it 1989-1992 is over 20 years ago now I wonder who will be cast in it now? 2014? for the fall time.
