Totally worth the extra brewing time and the cup is even bigger than we expected. David will direct the whole thing which will total more than the originally announced nine hours. Pre production starts now!!” said David Nevins, President of Showtime Networks, Inc. in a statement. “Dear Twitter Friends, the rumors are not what they seem ….. It is !!! Happening again. [#TwinPeaks](https://twitter.com/hashtag/TwinPeaks?src=hash) returns on [@SHO\_Network](https://twitter.com/SHO%5FNetwork),” Lynch wrote on Twitter. Back in April, Lynch cited an insufficient budget for departing the reboot. “After 1 year and 4 months of negotiations, I left because not enough money was offered to do the script the way I felt it needed to be done,” he wrote at the time. > [](https://twitter.com/DAVID%5FLYNCH/status/599364142764404736) _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/15/david-lynch-returns-twin-peaks-reboot) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3879594/twin-peaks-reboot-david-lynch/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3879594/twin-peaks-reboot-david-lynch/"},"headline":"The Twin Peaks Reboot Is Happening and David Lynch Is Back on Board","datePublished":"2015-05-16T00:43:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:19:48.672Z","description":"David Lynch is back","url":"https://time.com/3879594/twin-peaks-reboot-david-lynch/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdb77c5e1034145c0/698761235f570f75fab12c26/twin-peaks1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Emily Blake / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdb77c5e1034145c0/698761235f570f75fab12c26/twin-peaks1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"The first season of 'Twin Peaks' aired in 1990.","caption":"The first season of 'Twin Peaks' aired in 1990.","creditText":"ABC/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3879594/twin-peaks-reboot-david-lynch/","name":"The Twin Peaks Reboot Is Happening and David Lynch Is Back on Board"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"5 Reasons TV's Top Shows Are So Addictive","description":"Here's a look at how our favorite TV shows—from \"Game of Thrones\" to \"Scandal\" and \"Breaking Bad\"—keep us coming back for more.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/2RqNgPrk/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-01-16T20:47:22.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/2RqNgPrk.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3879594/twin-peaks-reboot-david-lynch/","duration":"PT2M16S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3879594/twin-peaks-reboot-david-lynch/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
