The tweet helped fuel speculation that the beloved cult series would be making a long-awaited return.
All that speculation was confirmed today with this follow-up tweet.
Yes, Twin Peaks will return in 2016 with a nine-episode run. According to Deadline, production on the series will begin in 2015 with the series slated to air on US cable network Showtime in 2016.
All nine episodes will be written and produced by original series creators/mad geniuses David Lynch and Mark Frost, with Lynch directing each installment.
