“We’ve seen the whole thing,” Showtime president David Nevins said, according to Entertainment Weekly. “David Lynch is one of the great film masters of my lifetime. I think this is the pure heroin version of David Lynch and I’m excited to put it out.”
Nevins refused to divulge any information about the upcoming season’s plot.
“The thing about Twin Peaks, and this new version of Twin Peaks, is it rewards close watching,” he said. “It was original social media discussion show before the tools of fan engagement really existed. That’s one reason why David is so particular about secrecy. It will really reward close watching and putting things together over time.”
