'Twin Peaks' Season 3 New Epsiodes Premiere Date Delayed to 2017: Showtime Show Pushed Again

Besides the fact that a new, third season of Twin Peaks officially being announced to premiere on Showtime with 18 new episodes and David Lynch returning to the project after leaving early on in production, the project is full of bad news recently. It was heartbreaking when Lynch left, but his return might have caused some delays. According to co-creator Mark Frost, we won't be seeing any season three episodes until 2017, which puts a one-year delay on the premiere date. Learn more on this news below.

Frost revealed this news to an unlikely source, the National Baseball Hall of Fame's senior curator, Tom Shieber (via Uproxx / IGN).

"The challenge for us is to try and come back and raise the bar above what we did the last time. We're coming back with season three of Twin Peaks after a 25-year absence," Frost explained, according to Welcome to Twin Peaks. "We've finished the scripts, we start production in September, and that will be coming out on Showtime sometime in 2017."

Frost didn't share any reasoning behind this delay in the schedule, but seems confident that it will produce a quality new season for fans.

The co-creator opened up about his iconic series and its return.

"We had 32 hours back in 1991-92, and with my partner David Lynch we kind of blew open that genre of the nighttime soap and took it in a whole other direction," he said. "A lot of people always look back at Twin Peaks and say that was the start of this explosion we've had in good television drama, but we did it in a time when there were still only three networks."
