David will direct the entire show. which now will not consist of nine episodes, as we assumed at the beginning, but of a larger number of episodes. Pre-production starts right now! " Recall that about a month and a half ago, Lynch announced that he was leaving the project due to a dispute over salaries.

According to The Hollywood Reporter's sources, the script was already ready by that time. In response to Lynch's words, Showtime management hoped Twin Peaks would "return with both creators on board." The Topic of Article: David Lynch returns to Twin Peaks. |
