A couple days ago:

I’m getting worried about the Twin Peaks revival, gang. I hear the rumors about David Lynch and Showtime not seeing eye-to-eye on a few contract points are true, which begs the question: Shouldn’t Lynch’s deal have been finalized before the project was announced and Kyle MaClachlan signed on and all nine scripts were written? Show Business, you confound me sometimes!

Today:

Update:

We were saddened to read David Lynch's statement today since we believed we were working towards solutions with David and his reps on the few remaining deal points. SHOWTIME also loves the world of Twin Peaks and we continue to hold out hope that we can bring it back in all its glory with both of its extraordinary creators, David Lynch and Mark Frost, at its helm.

 

[JGLS]

Holy shit, please no.

 

[anaron]

what the fuck

 

[mf.luder]

Netflix! Netflix!

 

[rude]

it's for the best. lynch doesn't have anything else to say after the masterpiece Mulholland Dr

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

It's dead... wrapped in plastic.

:c

 

[23qwerty]

I can't imagine Netflix doesn't pick this up

@TwinPeaksFest 1:31 PM
David contacted cast members today to inform them Showtime pulled the plug.

 

[Siegcram]

Not like this.

 

[Spider from Mars]

The show that you like isn't going to come back in style.

 

[Delta Assault]

Welp.

 

[HuskerDutheDu]

I was stupid for believing it was really happening. Should have known better

 

[giancarlo123x]

Netflix please!

 

[V_Ben]

Someone will pick it up, but man. Why announce it properly only to kill it later on. Yeesh.

 

[Ran rp]

Netflix pls

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Fucking hell.

April Fools was last week, Showtime. Please don't do this.

It may be better left dead anyhow. They can't pick up many of the old storylines. All the original actors are old, and many of the important actors are dead.

Agent Cooper's wide-eyed enthusiasm would just seem so weird coming out of a guy that's well into his 50's at this point.

 

[Deadly Joker]

Netflix, you're our only hope!

 

[Kinyou]

This isn't fair

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Jeez, really? Has Lynch considered any crowdfunding ideas for producing and distributing a new series under his wing? The man's picky, and I appreciate that, but it keeps leading to situations where he and other companies (even Criterion) just can't agree on things.

 

[Prompto]

Fuck

 

[Ein Bear]

What!?! NO!!!

 

[CreeperBlocks]

This Sucks

If Lynch couldn´t make it work in the first place I doubt he would have bothered reviving this. It was going to be a mix of old and new actors anyways, right?

It's not like Showtime has much of a future. They have no content lineup. They have no real money or brand cache or talent.

Fuck Showtime. Hopefully Netflix picks this up, though I do kinda doubt it.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Man, fuck Showtime.

Hahahahahaha, what!?!
This happens in television all the time. Deals don't work out, etc.

 

[alr1ght]

Showtime keep failing

 

[moggio]

Apart from Inland Empire?

 

[fluffydelusions]

No just no

 

[Blablurn]

Pls save the day, Netflix

I would like AMC to pick this up -- except for the fact you know that they would try and stretch it out over the course of like 2 years. 4 episodes in 2016, 4 episodes in 2017.

 

[JGLS]

Well, the scripts are written and if this is really cancelled and is not picked up by other network, I hope Lynch finds a way to publish them.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Lynch's got a budding career in singing ambient blues standards, I thought y'all knew he was more into that nowadays.

The amount of commercials that would play during it....I can´t handle it.

This isn't even remotely true.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Netflix is so picking this up.

 

[Kattbuss]

Alright, I'm here now so don't worry. So, who do I have to sleep with this time to make it still happen?

 

[CDX]

Why would Showtime make an official announcement months ago without everything being final with iron clad contracts.



Netflix please

And they would want to produce a Twin Peaks spin-off series.

 

[ThusZarathustra]

This isn't even remotely true.

Not to me it's not.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Yahoo Screen


do it lol

 

[Zombine]

They literally just gave this to Netflix, and I'm okay with that. Netflix is what opened up the show to a new generation of viewers, including myself.

And they would want to produce a Twin Peaks spin-off series.

Strong Black Coffee coming to AMC this February.

Spoiler

Not available on Dish.

Isn't that what this was? >

 

[rude]

Apart from Inland Empire?

which was horrendous

They saved community, so why the hell not.

 

[number11]

This is a perfect example of a show Netflix would pick up.
