But what happened to the rest of the characters on _Twin Peaks_? We’ll get some of the answers when Showtime revives the cult classic in 2016, 25 years after the show’s original debut on ABC. But co-creators Mark Frost and David Lynch have said the show will pick up in present day, leaving lots of blanks to be filled in. That’s why Frost is penning a novel to fill in fans on what’s happened since they left the small town in Washington State. Flatiron Books, a division of Macmillan, will publish _The Secret Lives of Twin Peaks_ in late 2015. Frost promises that readers will get an inside look at the mystery of who killed Laura Palmer, the central mystery of the original series, and a wrap-up of several story lines that were left incomplete when the show was abruptly canceled in 1991\. “This has long been a dream project of mine that will bring a whole other aspect of the world of Twin Peaks to life, for old fans and new,” Frost [said in a statement](http://macmillan.supadu.com/images/ckfinder/704/pdfs/Macmillan/TwinPeaks10-16-14.pdf "undefined"). “I couldn’t be more thrilled.” But the real question is: did [Big Ed’s flannel](https://www.tumblr.com/search/Big+Ed+Hurley "undefined") ever go out of style? ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3513560/twin-peaks-novel/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3513560/twin-peaks-novel/"},"headline":"A Twin Peaks Novel Is Coming Before the New Season Premieres","datePublished":"2014-10-16T18:20:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:50:20.042Z","description":"The book, written by co-creator Mark Frost, will catch fans up on all their favorite characters","url":"https://time.com/3513560/twin-peaks-novel/","keywords":["Books","Television","Twin Peaks"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt65681e5b8c8ab9e9/69869f36e8524b5b20604436/t100_tv_twin-peaks1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt65681e5b8c8ab9e9/69869f36e8524b5b20604436/t100_tv_twin-peaks1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"t100_tv_twin-peaks1","caption":"Sherilyn Fenn and Kyle MacLaughlin in Twin Peaks","creditText":"ABC Photo Archives—ABC via 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":"/tag/books/","name":"Books"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3513560/twin-peaks-novel/","name":"A Twin Peaks Novel Is Coming Before the New Season Premieres"}}]}] ```
