Luckily, Showtime proved a perfect fit, allowing Lynch and fellow creator Mark Frost the freedom to create an incredible 18-hour long series that unravelled mysteries while creating many more.
With The Return having come to an end, many have questioned whether Twin Peaks could come back once more, something Showtime would be more than happy to make a reality.
“We’re thrilled we did Twin Peaks, absolutely thrilled,” programming president Gary Levine said on the Television Critics Association press tour, according to Entertainment Weekly.
“The work was extraordinary, the fan reaction was extraordinary… It took 25 years for [Frost and Lynch] to go from 1.0 to 2.0. Add to that what David did in the last few years was nothing short of herculean — to direct 18 consecutive hours of television. … It’s a herculean task and he did it so beautifully. I don’t know how soon he wants to do [more]. The door is always open to Mark and David for Twin Peaks — or anything else they want to talk about.”
Speaking previously about returning for a fourth season of Twin Peaks, Lynch said: “I’ve learned never say never.” However, the director added: "It's too early to say if there will be a fourth season of the series. If that were the case, we would have to wait a few more years because it took me four and a half years to write and film this season."
If/when Lynch does ever make another season, his legion of devoted fans will be there to eagerly lap everything up.
