Last year, it was announced that the series would be rebooted for US TV network Showtime – but speaking at the opening of an exhibition of his artwork in Brisbane, director David Lynch said he “wasn’t sure” if it was even happening.

But later he told The Mix:

I haven’t returned yet and we’re still working on the contract, but I love the world of Twin Peaks and I love those characters. And I think it will be very special to go back into that world.
