Showtime has kept many details of its upcoming "Twin Peaks" revival close to the vest. But as the show's May 21 premiere approaches, more news about what to expect has arrived.
More than 25 years ago, in 1990, "Twin Peaks," a mysterious story set in a quaint Northwestern town rocked by a shocking murder, changed TV forever. Created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, the series only ran for two seasons but went on to become a highly influential cult hit, and now it's finally getting its season three.
Entertainment Weekly shared a few more details about the revival in a new feature.

David Lynch is directing all 18 episodes.
It's been more than two decades since David Lynch directed episodic television. When asked what fans should expect from his directing style for the "Twin Peaks" revival during the Winter 2017 Television Critics Association press tour, he was fairly vague.
"First, it was just the same as all the others," Lynch said. "I see it as a film, and film in parts is what people would experience. And it was a joyful, fantastic trip with this great crew and great cast. This word 'expect' is a magical word, and people expect things, and their expectations are met, hopefully, when they see the thing."
Despite long days during the shooting of the series, star Kyle MacLachlan expressed his awe of Lynch's work ethic.
"It didn't matter how long [the shoot day was], he was there. He was always up, cheerful, and smiling, and so were we," MacLachlan, who's playing FBI agent Dale Cooper again, said.
The original script for the revival was 400 pages.
Lynch had his work cut out for him.
“I think it took me six hours and a few cups of coffee to read, but it was wonderful,” MacLachlan told Entertainment Weekly of the first time he read the script.
The production returned to shoot in Washington, the fictional setting and actual shooting location of the original "Twin Peaks."
"[It was] both the same and different," Lynch said at TCA of returning to Washington. "If you go back 25 years in any town and revisit it again, it's that way. It's many things remain the same. But also, you feel a change."
