Twin Peaks season 3
Updated: 5/24/2026, 7:34:08 PM Wikipedia source
The third season of the surrealist mystery horror drama television series Twin Peaks, billed as Twin Peaks: The Return and Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series, premiered on May 21, 2017, and concluded on September 3, 2017. The 18-episode season was broadcast in the United States on Showtime. It marked the Twin Peaks franchise's return to television after an absence of over 25 years, and continued storylines from the first two seasons (1990–1991) and their part-prequel, part-sequel theatrical film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992). The show's co-creators David Lynch and Mark Frost returned to write the third season, with Lynch directing every episode. Set 25 years after the events of the original Twin Peaks, the season follows multiple storylines, most of which are linked to FBI agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and his 1989 investigation into the murder of high school student Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). In addition to the fictional Washington state town of Twin Peaks, the story extends to locations such as New York City, Las Vegas, South Dakota, New Mexico, and Texas. Showtime president David Nevins said the story's central focus was "Cooper's odyssey back to Twin Peaks". The series garnered critical acclaim, with praise for its unconventional narrative structure, visual invention, and performances. Critics have hailed the show as the best television program of 2017 and the 2010s, as well as one of the best series of the 21st century. Some critics also consider The Return a film, with film journal Cahiers du Cinéma naming it the best film of the decade and the 2022 Sight & Sound critics' poll voting it the 152nd-greatest film in history.
