The obsessive folks at the Welcome to Twin Peaks fansite noticed something on Twitter today: both of the creators of cult-favorite TV show Twin Peaks posted the same tweet, seemingly hinting at a rebirth for the show:
Dear Twitter Friends: That gum you like is going to come back in style! #damngoodcoffee

Their possibly-jumping-to-conclusions analysis:
We just had The Entire Mystery Blu-ray release, so that’s not what they’re tweeting about. Now with David Lynch recently hinting at a return to Twin Peaks (“Just wait and see!” ), could a revival finally be fact instead of rumor? Are we going to see a third season (on Netflix perhaps?) or will there be a sequel (or another prequel) to the Twin Peaks movie?
With Netflix seemingly throwing money at any creative idea they can turn into a stream, a new Twin Peaks product for them almost makes sense. I’ll believe it when I see it, but for the rest of the day at least, I’ll be occasionally squealing about the idea of my favorite weirdo-mystery show returning.
In the meantime, revisit Bob Grimm’s review of The Entire Mystery Blu-ray set.

Given that most of the principal cast members have either suffered career death or actual death by now, and that even the living ones are nearly a quarter-century older, the fact is that a revived series would have no commercial appeal except to a few diehards. Perhaps a sequel could be devised portraying the zany antics of the lovable toothless surviving codgers now living in Twin Peaks Retirement Acres, shuffling in and out of the Black Lodge on their walkers, trying to remember whatever happened to Laura Palmer….
