Showtime’s just released two special Twin Peaks posters in honor of Twin Peaks Day. The new posters feature key Twin Peaks players, Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) and Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan). What is Twin Peaks Day? If you’re asking this question, you probably weren’t a big fan of the original series. February 24th has been designated as Twin Peaks Day by fans who celebrate the arrival of Agent Dale Cooper to the Washington town and the day Laura Palmer’s body was discovered.
The new limited series will debut on Sunday, May 21, 2017 at 9pm ET/PT with a special two-part premiere. Episodes three and four will be available immediately after the airing of episodes one and two via Showtime’s streaming service, Showtime Anytime, and Showtime On Demand. The third and fourth episodes will then debut on Showtime on May 28th at 9pm ET/PT. Subsequent episodes will air one per week in the weeks following.
Series creator David Lynch directed all 18 episodes of the upcoming limited series, which “picks up 25 years after the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town were stunned when their homecoming queen Laura Palmer was shockingly murdered.” The cast includes Kyle MacLachlan (Portlandia), Madchen Amick (Riverdale), Laura Dern (Big Little Lies), Robert Forster (Divorce), Miguel Ferrer (NCIS: Los Angeles), and Kimmy Robertson.
