David Lynch has confirmed rumours that his cult classic television show Twin Peaks is returning for a new series.
'Dear Twitter friends... it is happening again,' David tweeted to his 1.8m followers on Monday, posting a link to an official announcement that confirmed a nine-episode run will be shown in early 2016 on the Showtime cable network.
'The groundbreaking television phenomenon, Golden Globe and Peabody Award-winner Twin Peaks will return as a new limited series on Showtime in 2016,' the statement revealed.
It has been 25 years since the series was abruptly cancelled in 1991 on the ABC network.
However, a return to the show had been hoped by many after murdered beauty queen Laura Palmer whispered to FBI Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) that she would see him again in 25 years.
The primetime drama was set in 1989, so it looks like Laura might make good on that promise.
The statement added that series creators and executive producers David Lynch and Mark Frost 'will write and produce all nine episodes of the limited series, and Lynch will direct every episode.' (Dailymail)
