Fans will have to wait a little longer before they can return to the town of Twin Peaks. Variety is reporting that the Showtime produced sequel to the cult 90's TV series will now be released in 2017.
The show was targeting a 2016 air date, but 'hit a speedbump' when Showtime and series creator David Lynch couldn't come to terms on the budget and episode count. Variety says the agreement they came upon sets the season's length at "more than nine episodes." Lynch will be in the director's chair for each one.
There is some good news for fans however. Deadline has revealed that fan favorite Miguel Ferrer will be reprising his role as FBI agent Albert Rosenfield. In January, it was that most of the original series' stars would be returning with names such as Kyle MacLachlan, Sheryl Lee, and Richard Beymer all confirmed.
New cast additions include Jennifer Jason Leigh, Robert Knepper, Balthazar Getty and Amanda Seyfried says the Deadline report.
Twin Peaks first hit the air on ABC in 1990 and ran for two seasons. It's story centered on the inhabitants of the titular northwestern town and the events that transpire when homecoming queen Laura Plamer is brutally murdered. FBI agent Dale Cooper is tasked with investigating Palmer's death. As he dives deeper into the search, the many secrets of the town and its people are revealed.
Not much is known of Showtime's follow up. The series' official description says that it will be set in the present day and shed new light on some of the series' still unanswered mysteries. The show's origninal creative team of director David Lynch and writer Mark Frost are returning to helm the sequel.
