Double the dose of new Twin Peaks
America’s Showtime network has doubled the number of episodes of David Lynch’s cult TV series Twin Peaks.
The networks bosses have upped the order of episodes from nine to 18 for the much-anticipated revival in 2016.
It was confirmed last October that the mystery drama would return to screens for nine episodes in 2016, to mark the show’s 25th anniversary.
Lynch recently signed on for the reboot after leaving the project in April over a budget dispute with studio bosses.
But now that he is back on board, Showtime officials have decided to expand the revival with nine more episodes, according to cast members Sherilyn Fenn and Sheryl Lee.
The actresses revealed the news during a Twin Peaks panel at fan festival Crypticon in Seattle, Washington.
They also let slip that Angelo Badalamenti, who created the original series’ memorable theme song and music, will also return to create brand new music for the show.
In addition to Lee and Fenn, lead actor Kyle MacLachlan is also slated to reprise his role as FBI Agent Dale Cooper.
