This will be a continuation afaik. You certainly have some time to get caught up (premieres in 2017), but yes, this is a show that's still well worth the watch, warts and all.
Fantastical
Death Prophet
That's how I found it, and it's my favorite show of all time.
Two seasons. First one is short (~10ep), second is longer (20+ep). You'll have a great time.
Will watch as soon as I finish the others I am currently seeing.
Thanks for the answers.

Also some might tell you to skip it but after you finish the series watch the movie prequel! Fire Walk With Me is the name, it's a much darker and abstract exploration than the series but infinitely rewarding for its atmosphere imo. I accidentally saw the movie first from a friend's recommendation not knowing there was a tv show that came before it, that was certainly an interesting way to experience the series...

This really is a crying shame. He's the person I was most looking forward to seeing again, especially since he's hardly been seen anywhere since Carnivàle.
Lynch filmed Wild at Heart during season 1 and I don't think anyone else touched the finale before he got there either, it just had a really bad script, half of which Lynch basically threw out and replaced with stuff he made up on the spot during an all-night shoot.
Season 2 is flawed (quite deeply for... seven or so episodes?), but it doesn't deserve all the shit it gets. The first 8 episodes are still very strong. I enjoy Lynch's season 2 episode more than anything in season 1.

Huh, thought he did a reshoot. Thank god he did it that way, one of the coolest things that's ever been on tv. Years ago when I went to Twede's in North Bend I saw some really cool set photos framed in the back from the shoot of the final episode, lots of the actors with the doppelganger contacts in just goofing around. That brought a smile to my face

Honestly after surviving the french canadian wants payback storyline I could only make it 3 episodes into the Windom Earle storyline. Very poorly developed series after they wrapped up the original murder mystery. Though maybe I should at least go back and watch the season 2 finale since it was directed by Lynch.
Allow me to recommend the Twin Peaks Rewatch podcast as a companion to the show; despite the name it's completely suitable to a first-time viewing, spoilers are only discussed at the very end so they're super easy to avoid, and the discussion is interesting and entertaining. Plus it'll help you get through the mid-late season 2 doldrums. I recently watched the series for the first time along with the cast and it was great.
You can read the script here, it's a fascinating disaster.Huh, thought he did a reshoot. Thank god he did it that way, one of the coolest things that's ever been on tv.

It had everything. Magical knights, baby Cooper and the whole thing was going to end with an epic showdown in a magical dentist's office.
If you really need to skip some episodes, I'd recommend picking the show back up at the 18th episode of the second season (also known as Episode 25 or 26, or by the German broadcast title "On the Wings of Love"). I can't promise that all of those episodes will be good, but this way you won't go into the finale without any context (plus, you wouldn't want to miss the last two appearances of Gordon Cole).

I'm really looking forward to it. Glad they could get David Lynch back.

You have to make it through a kind of weird and kind of shitty pilot episode, and maybe a couple of slower episodes while they situate the main characters. It gets weird and awesome in short order after that.
Eh the pilot is one of the better episodes
Looking forward to this, I watched the series for the first time a few months ago, still haven't seen the movie.
Season 2 was weak from the beginning to me, a big obvious drop in quality of the writing, directing & sound mixing (Maybe a Netflix problem but the music drowns out almost every piece of dialogue). The Windom Earle storyline toward the end was probably the highlight of the season, and I liked the finale a lot.

Honestly, I know what Konamis stance and approach is going forward but I reckon years from now Silent Hills will move forward in some 'chapters' capacity with Kojima on board on mainstream consoles and PC.
Just a hunch / maybe touch of blind hope. Maybe stupid but fuck it if you'd have told me last year we'd be looking at a full Lynch Twin Peaks, Shenmue 3, FFVII Remake and RE2 Remake that I've been lusting after for 15years in or around 2017, I'd have laughed at you. But here we are

That, and his character is rather important I would think to
the Black Lodge
There's always the possibility that Lynch came up with some new gimmick for the way those otherworldy scenes are going to be presented.
Or, they're leaving those scenes for the last minute and simply did a crappy job letting anyone know that they might be needed at a later date (filming is supposed to wrap up in May of next year)
Meanwhile,

Twede's is closed for the next two weeks!! It has started!! #twinpeaks #TwinPeaks2017

Neato! Lately people have been speculating that only the exterior is going to be filmed on location, but there's clearly work being done inside the diner.
On a podcast (forgot which) they interviewed the owner of the cafe and she in fact confirmed that they were changing much of the interior. I remember specifically that the position of the counter was being moved closer to the front door to better resemble the original. I'm sure there is more being done...

That same twitter account said they'll be filming in North Bend for about a week, so most of the RR interior shots will be done in LA I'm thinking. If there's a Coop sighting I'm hoppin in the jalopy and goin down there for a stakeout!

Everett McGill confirmed! Filming today at Big Ed's Gas Farm...
I just saw a picture of him on location on the same twitter. DEFINITELY him. Unbelievable.
edit: also, I've got some sources in town, with better cameras than the Twitter guy (though bless his diligence).
word is that later tonight, this will be lit up for some night shooting. I *cannot* wait.
This is all so exciting. I don't exactly miss Nadine (not after season 2), but every confirmation that they're bringing back even those minor characters makes me unreasonably happy. It still doesn't feel real.
And his hair looks RIDICULOUS! Fantastic.
I'm not sure if I like the new look of the diner, but it's nice to see that they went the smart route and allowed the town to evolve over the last 25 years (and RR2GO is already my favorite droid; suck it, R2).
For those who aren't following @TwinPeaksArchve, some shots of Big Ed's New Gas Farm
(that second photo could hardly be any twinpeaksier)
Edit:
Via @motschenbacher1:
!Directors @DAVID_LYNCH & @mfrost11 directing an undisclosed cast member. Was a privilege to witness! #TwinPeaks2017

I can't believe they actually found Everett McGill. The man hasn't acted in 15 years.

Right? And we were all so amazed when Harry Goaz turned up in that short film at the Twin Peaks fest. David put out an APB for Everett on twitter not long ago. Social media has *really* helped this project. When Brad Dukes was writing his book Reflections, he interviewed over 100 people and none of them had a lead on Everett.
edit: My sources are saying that shooting starts up again in about an hour and a half. I'm really hoping they're going to be filming at the RR.

Yeah that hairstyle is epic, so glad they got him back, one of my favorite characters. It always weirds me out a bit seeing him in Dune for some reason. First time I noticed it was him it was years after I saw Dune for the first time and had recently discovered Twin Peaks. Stilgar!
Familiarity with Twin Peaks turns Dune into a very different and pretty darn funny movie.

RIP Jack Nance, probably Lynch's finest mainstay. His side characters are so memorable, rewatched the blu ray of Blue Velvet the other night, you totally buy that he's just this weird fucker just existing in this bizarre and dark world tagging along with these other miscreants and ne'er do wells. Also his role in Wild At Heart is the goat Lynch cameo character.

They're shooting again at Big Ed's. The neon is on. I guess no RR neon just yet.

Was about to post, any chance your sources posting their pics on twitter? I'd love to be following somebody with a decent camera
@motschenbacher1 seems to be taking some good ones.

My source with the good camera has been posting stuff in the Living Twin Peaks community on Facebook.

I'm not sure if she'll get out to any of the filming tonight though.

A helicopter has been spotted over Snoqualmie falls, reportedly filming for the opening credits, though my sources haven't tracked down where that specific part of the claim comes from.
Edit: Also, Peter Deming is cinematographer. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005687/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

In case anyone was afraid that this show might end up looking like Inland Empire:
Edit: D'oh! Should have refreshed.
Peter Deming, director of photography on Mulholland Dr. and Lost Highway (and... Evil Dead II). Exciting!

David Lynch requests no more set photos.
I'm sure more photos will get out, but none through this site.

They have but it's a trickle compared to what it was before he said that. This one posted today, so good.
Also a peek inside the diner...

Hold me Gaf.
I could live without the photos, but since then the teases evolved into "I know something you don't know!" and it's just no fun.
Plus, it's not like we're actually getting any spoilers out of this. Their audience mostly just wants to know who the hell is going to be on this show, so at "worst" we'd find out the same thing the opening credits would tell us (if not a trailer or a press release).
