雙峰 (第三季)

在1991年ABC取消《雙峰》、以及1992年林區執導的前傳電影《雙峰：與火同行》之後，據報導林區計劃再製作兩部電影，這些電影將繼續進行，然後結束該系列的敘事。不過在2001年的一次採訪中，他說雙峰系列已經“像門釘一樣被封死了”。[38]

2007年，藝術家麥特·哈利和《雙峰》製片人羅伯特·恩格斯開始製作該系列的圖像小說續集，將被收錄在“Complete Mystery”的DVD套裝中。哈利說：“鮑勃和我就故事的內容進行了多次討論，我熱衷於使用他們為提議的第三季準備的任何筆記。我真的希望這成為該劇的真正‘第三季”。林區否決了這個項目，表示他尊重這項努力，但不想以任何方式繼續雙峰的故事。[39]

2013年初有傳言稱《雙峰》將以某種形式回歸，但林區的女兒詹妮弗·林奇（同時也是《蘿拉·帕爾瑪的秘密日記》之作者）以及共同創作者馬克·弗羅斯特駁斥了這些謠言，他寫道：“真相更有價值，亦更難獲得”。[40]2013年5月，演員雷·懷斯講述了林區對他所說的關於可能的延續：“嗯，雷，你知道，小鎮還在那兒。假設我們有可能重新審視它。當然，你已經死了……但我們也許可以解決這個問題。[41]

2014年，《雙峰：遺失的碎片》藍光光碟套裝的開發和發行，除了懷斯之前的評論，引起了粉絲們的猜測，《雙峰》會以某種形式回歸。2014年1月，由林區執導的“雙峰宣傳片”的選角被透露為拍攝完整的神秘故事。[42] 2014年9月，林區在盧卡電影節上回答了一個關於雙峰的問題，稱這是一個“棘手的問題”，“總有可能……你只需要拭目以待”。[43]

2014年10月6日，Showtime電視網宣布將播出九集迷你劇集[44]，由林區和弗羅斯特編寫劇本，完全由林奇執導。弗羅斯特強調，新劇集並不是翻拍或重啟，而是該系列的延續。情節設定在今日，25年的流逝是情節中的重要元素。關於迷你劇是否會成為一個持續的系列，弗羅斯特說，“證據將在設置中。如果我們玩得很開心並且每個人都喜歡它並且他們認為還有更多空間，我可以看到它會這樣發展”。[45]

2015年3月，林區因“複雜化”對製作表示懷疑。 但Showtime證實該系列正在向前發展，並表示：“沒有什麼比大衛·林區的任何前期製作過程更重要的了。一切都在向前發展，每個人都非常激動和興奮”。[46] 2015年4月，林區表示由於預算限制，他不會執導這九集。[47]但林區和Showtime達成了一項協議，林區於2015年5月15日確認，他將執導並且將比最初宣布的九集還要更多集數。[48]在西雅圖的《雙峰》座談會上，演員雪琳·芬和雪莉·李表示，新劇集將由18集組成，安傑洛·巴達拉門蒂將作為作曲家回歸。[49]

On January 12, 2015, Kyle MacLachlan was confirmed as returning to the series.[50] It was reported that Peter Sarsgaard had been cast[51] but he later said, "I'm not doing Twin Peaks" and it "was a rumor that was not founded on nothing."[52] In October 2015, it was confirmed that Michael Ontkean, who portrayed Sheriff Harry S. Truman and has since retired from acting, would not return for the revival. In October 2015 it was reported that the role of town sheriff would be filled by Robert Forster, later confirmed as playing Frank Truman, the brother of an ailing Harry. Forster was originally cast as Harry in the 1990 pilot, but was replaced by Ontkean due to scheduling issues.[16] Also in October, David Duchovny teased his return as Agent Denise Bryson.[7] In November 2015, it was reported that Miguel Ferrer would reprise his role as Albert Rosenfield and that Richard Beymer and David Patrick Kelly would return as Benjamin Horne and Jerry Horne, respectively.[5] In December 2015, Alicia Witt confirmed she would reprise her role as Gersten Hayward.[11]

Russ Tamblyn underwent open-heart surgery in late 2014 and was still recovering in 2015. Lynch and Frost were still hoping Tamblyn would join the cast for the new season.[53] On September 28, 2015, Catherine E. Coulson, who was planned to reprise her role of the Log Lady in the new series,[54] died of cancer.[55] Both Tamblyn and Coulson were later confirmed as part of the cast, as Coulson had filmed a few scenes before her death.[1]

The series' first teaser trailer, released in December 2015, confirmed the involvement of Michael Horse (Tommy "Hawk" Hill).[56] In January 2016, it was reported that Sherilyn Fenn would reprise her role as Audrey Horne in a "major presence."[57] In February 2016, it was reported that Lynch would reprise his role as Gordon Cole.[9] Frequent Lynch collaborator Laura Dern was cast in a "top-secret pivotal role".[58] In April 2016, a complete cast list was released, featuring 217 actors, with actors returning from the earlier series marked with asterisks.[59]

Before his death in January 2016, David Bowie had intended to make a cameo appearance as FBI Agent Phillip Jeffries, his character from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.[60] In January and February 2017, respectively, cast members Miguel Ferrer and Warren Frost died, but both appear in the new series.[61][62]

In July 2015, Frost suggested that the series would premiere in 2017 rather than 2016, as originally planned.[63] The series began filming in September 2015, and Showtime president David Nevins said, "I'm hoping we make 2016. It's not clear. It's ultimately going to be in [series co-creators David Lynch and Mark Frost's] control."[64] Nevins also stated, "I don't know [how many episodes there will be]. They're going to decide, I expect it to be more than nine, but it's open-ended. I know what the shooting schedule is and then we'll have him cut into it however many episodes it feels best at."[65] In January 2016, Nevins confirmed that the series would premiere in the first half of 2017.[66] The series was shot continuously from a single, long shooting script before being edited into episodes. In January 2016, it was reported that filming was more than halfway done.[67] Filming was completed by April 2016.[1]
