'Twin Peaks' Season 3 News: Cast, Trailer, Release Date [Spoilers]

It looks like there are more stories to tell in the town of "Twin Peaks." The show, which originally aired in 1990 until 1991, featured the secretive and quirky townsfolk of Twin Peaks.

According to Games Radar, the third season of "Twin Peaks" is slated for a May 21, 2017 release. Following a 27-year hiatus, most of the cast of the show will return together with some new faces.

"Twin Peaks" was one of the best shows of the '90s, and it had "tens of millions of viewers asking 'Who killed Laura Palmer?'" after the show's second season ended on a cliffhanger. "Twin Peaks" was a one-of-a-kind show and it was "famous for its idiosyncratic sense of humour, dreamy music, charismatic ensemble cast, and mind-bending weirdness."

Co-creators David Lynch and Mark Frost fused "soap opera melodrama with a dark, supernatural murder mystery" to create a memorable show, and "there hasn't been a show quite like it since." However, declining ratings led to the cancellation of the show, and it left viewers stunned as Season 2 ended on a cliffhanger.

Filming for "Twin Peaks" Season 3 began in September 2015 and ended last January 2016. Lynch shot the entire season as "one long feature film," and he then split the end product "into episodes at the editing stage." Season 3 will have 18 episodes, and the premiere will consist of the first two episodes in a two-hour special. Episodes three and four will then be "available on Showtime's digital platform" immediately.

Fans of the show will finally have closure as Season 3 will pick up immediately where Season 2 ended. Twenty-five years ago in the last episode of the second season, Special Agent Dale Cooper (portrayed by Kyle MacLachlan) was possessed by BOB, "the evil spirit that compelled Leland Palmer to murder his own daughter." Could BOB still be possessing Dale when Season 3 premiers?

Actor David Duchovny has hinted that he could be returning to "Twin Peaks" as DEA agent Denise Bryson. Other returning cast members include James Marshall, Sherilyn Fenn, and Sheryl Lee.

New cast members include Naomi Watts, Tom Sizemore, Laura Dern, Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Robert Knepper, and Balthazar Getty, per NME.
