From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

There are details we do know - largely which cast members will be returning and which new actors to expect - but only now have we been treated to our first glimpse of a character in action; namely, Kyle MacLachlan's Agent Dale Cooper who hasn't been seen since 1992 film Fire Walk With Me.

A question mark surrounds his character considering he was involved in the finale's huge cliffhanger.

Lynch is said to have directed season three as a full film from a script he wrote alongside co-creator Mark Frost. Showtime CEO David Nevins has promised that the season will be released "unconventionally."

Other returning cast members include Sherilyn Fenn, Dana Ashbrook and Laura Palmer herself Sheryl Lee while, as shown in a recently released video, Lynch will himself reprise the role of detective Gordon Cole.

Composer Angelo Badalamenti will also return for the new series that'll also feature Naomi Watts, Laura Dern, Tim Roth, Michael Cera, Monica Bellucci and The Walking Dead actor Josh McDermitt.

Twin Peaks season three will begin its 18 episode run in the US on 21 May; it'll be simulcast in the UK on Sky Atlantic.
