The cult classic show will return to TV for nine new episodes next year, which will coincide with the 25th anniversary of its two-year run on ABC. Showtime announced the news back in October. At the time, co-creator Mark Frost told TVLine that “Twin Peaks” will pick up where it left off. “The story continues,” he said. “The seeds of where we go were planted where we’ve been.”
