Twin Peaks—which has gained a large cult following since its debut 25 years ago—will make its long-awaited return to television after Showtime and showrunners David Lynch and Mark Frost agreed to a nine-episode deal. It appears the Lynch and Frost will write all nine episodes, and Lynch will be directing each one.
The duo sparked massive speculation on Friday when they sent out the exact same tweets at the exact same time:

Just minutes ago, they did the exact same thing to confirm that the show is indeed coming back:

The show will seemingly be a modern day continuation of the show, rather than a straight up reboot. No word on when you can expect to see it on TV beyond that it will be sometime in 2016, but given how patient fans have been over the last two-plus decades, this relatively short wait should be more than manageable.
