Season chronology

Set 25 years after the events of the original Twin Peaks, the season follows multiple storylines, many of which are linked to FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (MacLachlan) and his original 1989 investigation into the murder of Twin Peaks homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). In addition to the fictional Washington state town of Twin Peaks, the story extends to locations such as New York City, Las Vegas, South Dakota, Philadelphia, Odessa, Texas, and New Mexico. Showtime president David Nevins said that "the core of [the plot] is Agent Cooper's odyssey back to Twin Peaks".[6]

The season garnered critical acclaim, with praise centering on its unconventional narrative and structure, visual invention, and performances.[7] Many publications, including Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, and Esquire, named it the best television show of 2017.[8] The film journals Sight & Sound and Cahiers du cinéma named The Return the second-best and best "film" of the year respectively, sparking discussion about the artistic difference, if any, between theatrical film and TV series in the era of streaming.[9][10][11] In December 2019, Vulture critics named The Return the best television series of the 2010s,[12] while Cahiers du cinéma named it the best film of the decade.[13]

Synopsis

In 1991 near the town of Twin Peaks, FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper pursued a renegade agent into a supernatural realm known as the Black Lodge. He became trapped there while a doppelgänger inhabited by the malevolent spirit BOB escaped. The season follows Cooper's efforts 25 years later to free himself from the Lodge, end BOB's crime spree, and close the case of high school student Laura Palmer's murder. Many other characters are drawn in, including residents of Twin Peaks, former FBI colleagues, the Las Vegas underworld, and various supernatural entities.

Production

Background and development

The first season of Twin Peaks premiered on April 8, 1990, on ABC. It was one of the top-rated series of 1990, but declining ratings led to its cancellation in 1991 after its second season. In subsequent years, Twin Peaks has often been listed among the greatest television dramas of all time.[14][15][16][17][18] A prequel film directed by Lynch, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, was released in 1992, but in 2001 Lynch stated that Twin Peaks was as "dead as a doornail."[19]

In 2007 artist Matt Haley began work on a graphic novel continuation, which he hoped would be included in the "Complete Mystery" DVD box set. Twin Peaks producer Robert Engels agreed to help write it on the condition that Lynch and Frost approved the project; Haley said: "[Engels] and I had a number of discussions about what the story would be. I was keen to use whatever notes they had for the proposed third season. I really wanted this to be a literal 'third season' of the show." Paramount Home Entertainment agreed to package it with the box set, also on the condition that Lynch and Frost approved. Though Frost approved the project, Lynch vetoed it, saying that he respected the effort but did not want to continue the story of Twin Peaks.[20]

In 2013 rumors that Twin Peaks would return were dismissed by Lynch's daughter Jennifer Lynch (author of The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer) as well as by Frost.[21] Cast member Ray Wise recounted what Lynch had said to him about a possible continuation: "Well, Ray, you know, the town is still there. And I suppose it's possible that we could revisit it. Of course, [your character is] already dead... but we could maybe work around that."[22]

In January 2014 a casting call for a "Twin Peaks promo", directed by Lynch, was revealed to be the filming of a featurette for the Twin Peaks: The Complete Mystery Blu-ray set.[23] In September 2014 Lynch answered a question about Twin Peaks at the Lucca Film Festival by saying it was a "tricky question", and that "there's always a possibility... and you just have to wait and see."[24]

Announcement

On October 6, 2014, Showtime announced that it would air a nine-episode miniseries written by Lynch and Frost and directed by Lynch.[25][26][27][28] Frost emphasized that the new episodes were not a remake or reboot but a continuation of the series. The episodes are set in the present day, and the passage of 25 years is an important element in the plot. As to whether the miniseries would become an ongoing series, Frost said: "If we have a great time doing it and everybody loves it and they decide there's room for more, I could see it going that way."[29]

In March 2015 Lynch expressed doubts about the production due to "complications". Showtime confirmed the season was moving forward, stating: "Nothing is going on that's any more than any preproduction process with David Lynch. Everything is moving forward and everybody is crazy thrilled and excited."[30] In April 2015 Lynch said he would not direct the nine episodes due to budget constraints.[31] He and Showtime came to an agreement, with Lynch confirming on May 15, 2015, that he would direct, and that there would be more episodes than the originally announced nine.[3] At a Twin Peaks panel in Seattle, cast members Sherilyn Fenn and Sheryl Lee said that the new season would consist of 18 episodes and Angelo Badalamenti would return as composer.[32]

Casting

On January 12, 2015, Kyle MacLachlan was confirmed to return to the series.[5] In October 2015 it was confirmed that Michael Ontkean, who portrayed Sheriff Harry S. Truman and had since retired from acting, would not return for the revival, and that the role of town sheriff would be filled by Robert Forster, later confirmed as playing Frank Truman, brother of Harry. Forster had been cast as Harry in the 1990 pilot but was replaced by Ontkean due to scheduling issues.[33] Also in October David Duchovny teased his return as Agent Denise Bryson.[34] In November 2015 it was reported that Miguel Ferrer would reprise his role as Albert Rosenfield and that Richard Beymer and David Patrick Kelly would return as Benjamin Horne and Jerry Horne respectively.[35] In December 2015 Alicia Witt confirmed she would reprise her role as Gersten Hayward.[36] Michael J. Anderson was asked to reprise his role as The Man from Another Place but declined.[37]

Russ Tamblyn underwent open-heart surgery in late 2014 and was still recovering in 2015. Lynch and Frost still hoped Tamblyn would join the cast for the new season, which was later confirmed.[38] On September 28, 2015, Catherine E. Coulson, who reprised her role of the Log Lady in the new season,[39] died of cancer.[40] She filmed her final scene four days before her death.[4][41]

The season's first teaser trailer, released in December 2015, confirmed the involvement of Michael Horse (Tommy "Hawk" Hill).[42] In January 2016 it was reported that Sherilyn Fenn would reprise her role as Audrey Horne in a "major presence."[43] In February 2016 it was reported that Lynch would reprise his role as Gordon Cole.[44] Frequent Lynch collaborator Laura Dern was cast in a "top-secret pivotal role",[45] which eventually proved to be Diane, the previously unseen character to whom Cooper frequently dictated taped messages during the show's original run. In April 2016 a complete cast list was released, featuring 217 actors, with actors returning from the earlier series marked with asterisks.[46] Mary Reber, who plays Alice Tremond in the finale, is the actual owner of the house used for the Palmer residence.[47]

David Bowie was asked to make a cameo appearance as FBI Agent Phillip Jeffries, his character from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.[48] As Bowie's health was declining, his lawyer told Lynch that he was unavailable. Before his death in January 2016, Bowie gave the production permission to reuse old footage featuring him, but he was unhappy with the accent he had used in the film, and requested that he be dubbed over by an authentic Louisiana actor, leading to the casting of Nathan Frizzell as Jeffries's voice.[49] In January and February 2017, respectively, cast members Miguel Ferrer and Warren Frost died, but both appear in the new season.[50][51] Harry Dean Stanton, who reprised his role as Carl Rodd, died in September 2017, less than two weeks after the last episode of the season aired.[52]

Filming

In July 2015 Frost suggested that the season would premiere in 2017 rather than 2016, as originally planned.[53] The series began filming in September 2015 and Showtime president David Nevins said:

I'm hoping we make 2016. It's not clear. It's ultimately going to be in [series co-creators David Lynch and Mark Frost's] control.[54] I don't know [how many episodes there will be]. They're going to decide, I expect it to be more than nine, but it's open-ended. I know what the shooting schedule is and then we'll have him cut it into however many episodes it feels best at.[55]

In January 2016 Nevins confirmed that the season would premiere in the first half of 2017.[56] The season was shot continuously from a single, long shooting script before being edited into episodes. Filming was completed by April 2016.[4]

Cooper gives MIKE some of his hair, asking him to make another tulpa, then has the Mitchums organize a flight to Spokane, Washington. Having received a text from the doppelgänger, Diane tells the task force that, years ago, Cooper raped her and took her to an old gas station. Exclaiming "I'm in the sheriff's station... I'm not me", she pulls a gun but is shot by Albert and Tammy. Diane is drawn to the Black Lodge and dissolves into a seed. Tammy realizes that the "Diane" they had been associating with is actually a tulpa. At the Roadhouse, Audrey dances to "Audrey's Dance". When a fight breaks out, Audrey begs Charlie to take her home. Suddenly she wakes up, confused and looking into a mirror.

Gordon tells Albert of a secret plan to find "Judy", an "extreme negative force" originally known as "Jowday", and is informed that Cooper is headed for Twin Peaks. The remaining coordinates lead Cooper's doppelgänger to "Jack Rabbit's Palace". He is transported to the Fireman, then to the Sheriff's Department, and mistaken for the real Cooper. While talking to the doppelgänger, Frank receives a call from Cooper. The doppelgänger draws a gun but is shot by Lucy. Cooper, the FBI and the Mitchums arrive. Woodsmen tear at the doppelgänger's body, releasing BOB's orb. Freddie knocks out Chad, who had escaped his cell, and smashes BOB's orb with several punches. Cooper puts the Owl Cave ring on the doppelgänger's finger, sending him to the Black Lodge. Naido transforms into Diane. Cooper unlocks a door at the Great Northern, where MIKE takes him to Jeffries, who transports Cooper to the night Laura died. Cooper prevents Laura's murder; in the morning, her corpse vanishes. As he leads her through the woods, she disappears and a woman's scream is heard. In Sarah's house, Sarah smashes Laura's photo, though the photograph itself cannot be torn.

Cooper's doppelgänger burns in the Black Lodge. MIKE creates another Dougie, who returns to Janey-E and Sonny Jim. Cooper appears in the Black Lodge again, encountering MIKE and the Arm. He emerges and meets Diane in the woods. They drive on a highway for 430 miles and "cross over" an electrical field, then drive to a motel and have sex. Cooper wakes the next morning alone and finds a note left to "Richard" from "Linda". Arriving at Judy's Diner in Odessa, Texas, Cooper saves a waitress from harassment and obtains the address of another waitress, Carrie Page, who resembles Laura Palmer. Believing she is Laura, he drives her to Twin Peaks, but finds the Palmer house occupied by different owners. Confused, Cooper asks Carrie what year it is. Carrie hears Sarah calling Laura's name and screams. The house lights go out. The season closes with a visual callback to Laura whispering to Cooper in the Red Room.

Response

Release
Season 3 intertitle.

The season premiered on Showtime on May 21, 2017, with a two-hour episode.[1] After the airing, the premiere and an additional two episodes became available online, and the season aired in weekly increments from that point onwards (at Lynch's insistence). Overall, the series consists of 18 episodes.[1] It concluded on September 3, 2017, with a two-part finale.[100]

In the United Kingdom, Sky Atlantic simulcast the first two episodes beginning at 2:00 am British Summer Time on May 22, 2017,[101] and the next two episodes were released on Sky UK's on-demand service after the premiere.[102] In the Nordic countries, the season is broadcast on HBO Nordic, with the two-hour premiere airing on May 22, and subsequent episodes being made available the day after its U.S. airing.[103] In Canada, the season is available on CraveTV and The Movie Network, and debuted simultaneously with the U.S. broadcast.[104][105] In Australia, episodes of the season are available to stream on Stan the same day as the original U.S. broadcast.[106] In Japan, the season aired on the satellite television network Wowow, which also aired the original series.[107]

Two episodes were screened at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.[108] The Return was screened in its entirety from January 5–7, 2018, at the Museum of Modern Art, as part of the museum's annual series on "the year's finest films".[109]

Critical reception

On Rotten Tomatoes the season has a 94% rating with an average score of 7.83 out of 10 based on 95 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads, "Surreal, suspenseful, and visually stunning, this new Twin Peaks is an auteurist triumph for David Lynch."[7] On Metacritic, Twin Peaks has a score of 74 out of 100 based on 26 reviews.[110]

Sean T. Collins of Rolling Stone called the season "one of the most groundbreaking TV series ever", praising its original, complex storylines and the performances of its cast, particularly Kyle MacLachlan.[111] Matt Zoller Seitz of Vulture wrote that the show was "the most original and disturbing to hit TV drama since The Sopranos".[112] In his season review for IGN, Matt Fowler noted that Twin Peaks "came back as a true artistic force that challenged just about every storytelling convention we know" and scored it an 8.8 out of 10.[113]

Of the season's two-part premiere, Sonia Saraiya of Variety wrote "Twin Peaks: The Return is weird and creepy and slow. But it is interesting. The show is very stubbornly itself—not quite film and not quite TV, rejecting both standard storytelling and standard forms. It's not especially fun to watch and it can be quite disturbing. But there is never a sense that you are watching something devoid of vision or intention. Lynch's vision is so total and absolute that he can get away with what wouldn't be otherwise acceptable."[114]

The Hollywood Reporter's Daniel Fienberg wrote of the season's format, "It's obvious this Twin Peaks is going to be an 18-hour unit. There was no discernible separation between hours and if credits hadn't rolled, the second hour could probably just as easily have flowed into the third. This isn't episodic TV. It's another thing."[115]

In her "A" grade review of the premiere, Emily L. Stephens of The A.V. Club wrote of its possible reception by critics and viewers, "If you were looking forward to a return of the sometimes campy, sometimes cozy humor of the original two seasons of Twin Peaks, this premiere could come as a shock. If you were anticipating that once jolting, now familiar blend of genres, this is... not that." She called the two-part premiere "pure Lynchian horror".[116]

Lynch screened the two-hour premiere of the season at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival and received a five-minute standing ovation from the crowd.[117]

Sight & Sound and Cahiers du cinéma magazines named Twin Peaks: The Return respectively as the second-best and the best "film" of the year, with Sight & Sound placing it behind only the psychological horror film Get Out.[10][11] Metacritic ranked Twin Peaks the second-best TV series of 2017; 20 major publications ranked it the best show of the year.[8] In 2019, Twin Peaks: The Return was ranked 22nd on The Guardian's list of the 100 best TV shows of the 21st century.[118]

Writer-director Jim Jarmusch called the season "a masterpiece" and the single best piece of American cinema from the last 10 years.[119]

The two-hour premiere on May 21, 2017, received 506,000 viewers on Showtime, which Deadline Hollywood called "soft for such a strongly promoted prestige project".

Viewership for the premiere increased to 804,000 in Live+3 ratings, and it had a viewership of 1.7 million across streaming and on-demand platforms.[121] Showtime announced that the weekend of the Twin Peaks premiere had the most signups to their streaming service ever.[122] Prior to the finale, the season was averaging 2 million weekly viewers, when including time-shifting, encores and streaming. Showtime president David Nevins said that Twin Peaks "has exceeded expectations" from a financial perspective.[123]

Home media

The season was released on Blu-ray and DVD on December 5, 2017, under the title Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series. The set includes more than six hours of behind-the-scenes content.[134]

In the 2017 Home Media Awards, which honor the year's best home video releases, Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series won four awards: Title of the Year, TV on Disc of the Year, Best TV Movie or Miniseries, and Best Extras/Bonus Material.[135]

Future

Lynch and Frost have expressed interest in making another season of Twin Peaks, but Lynch has noted that such a project would not immediately follow The Return, given that it took them four and a half years to write and film the third season.[136][137] In June 2018, Lynch said the story was "calling", but that "there are a lot of disturbances";[138] in August, he said he was working through ideas with producer Sabrina Sutherland.[139] In April 2020, he said "nothing was happening" regarding further Twin Peaks.[140]
