David Lynch returns to the new "Twin Peaks"




It´s a good day for "Twin Peaks" fans. After David Lynch decided to pull out of the series revival a month ago due to budget reasons, the director and Showtime seem to have agreed on the terms of their negotiations. 

Not only the acclaimed director and creator of the show is on board with the project again, but the episode count has expanded considerably. 

Lynch confirmed the news via Twitter:

"Dear Twitter Friends, the rumors are not what they seem ..... It is !!!
Happening again. #TwinPeaks returns on @SHO_Network
"


On the other hand, David Nevins, president of Showtime Networks, released the following statement:

"This damn fine cup of coffee from Mark and David tastes more delicious than ever.  Totally worth the extra brewing time and the cup is even bigger than we expected … Pre production starts now!! David will direct the whole thing which will total more than the originally announced nine hours.

Are you guys excited?

David Lynch quits "Twin Peaks" Showtime revival




Apparently things are not looking good for the "Twin Peaks" revival that Showtime was planning for 2016. After rumours started swirling around that negotiations were not going as swell as hoped between the network and David Lynch, the co-creator and director has confirmed in a letter to the Twin Peaks festival fan page that he will not be returning as director.

The letter reads:
“Dear Facebook Friends, David wanted me to pass along the following statement:
Showtime did not pull the plug on Twin Peaks.
After one year and four months of negotiations, I left because not enough money was offered to do the script the way I felt it needed to be done.
This weekend I started to call actors to let them know I would not be directing.
Twin Peaks may still be very much alive at Showtime.
I love the world of Twin Peaks and wish things could have worked out differently.”
Some sources even say that Showtime has pulled the plug on the show entirely and cast members have already been informed. However the only official confirmation at the moment is that Lynch is apparently done with the project.

Could these complications mean the end for the show´s awaited resurrection? Would you watch a Twin Peaks revival without David Lynch´s involvement? Sound off in the comments!

"Dexter" Renewed for Two More Years


Dexter fans everywhere have more than one reason to rejoice.

Showtime has announced that the crime-drama series (currently on its sixth season) has been renewed for two more years.

Showtime´s president released the following statement:

 "Dexter's enormous success is a real tribute to the great achievements of its cast, producers, and the powerhouse performance of Michael C Hall.

The series is bigger than it's ever been in its sixth season, both in terms of audience and its impact on the cultural landscape.

Together with Michael, the creative team on the show has a very clear sense of where they intend to take the show over the next two seasons and, as a huge fan, I'm excited to watch the story of Dexter Morgan play out.

On behalf of the entire Dexter family, we relish the invitation to delve ever deeper into Dexter's world."
