Production
Original season 3 plans
In the third season's original plans, BOB and MIKE were from a place or a planet made of creamed corn which moves backward.[8][9][10][11] They fell out with each other when BOB stole a can of corn and escaped pursued by MIKE.[8][10] The chase began on December 31, 1951[8] or on the night of Eisenhower inauguration with insects and garmonbozia appearing on the presidential table when the inauguration was stopped for half an hour (though it actually was because of the broadcast of the I Love Lucy episode where she has a baby).[12]
Every character would have had a doppelganger who lived in a reality for two minutes[9] or nanoseconds behind the other reality.[8]
Regarding Cooper's situation, the original intention would have been played as if the good Coop was possessed by BOB and eventually reveal it to be his doppelganger instead.[13][14] To rescue Dale from the place and the return the spirits to their place, Truman would open a portal by driving his jeep backward through a corn field,[9][10][12] going back in time.[8] Major Briggs would be the only choice to save Cooper due to his White Lodge experience.[15]
The cliffhanger would be solved before the commercial break of the first episode, with then a time skip of some years[16] getting away from the high school setting. Cooper being the pharmacist[10] and having left the FBI, Truman being a recluse, Sheryl Lee returning as a new character with red hair and to possibly be killed by BOB as well.[17]
Laura's diary entry about her vision of Annie saying "the Good Dale is in the Lodge" would have been found.[14]
Additionally, the novel The Autobiography of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes was conceived at a time when season 3 was in its early stages and some elements from it might have been reused. In particular, Emmet Cooper was a last-minute addition and Mark Frost commented that actor Roger Rees would be ideal for the role.[18]
Cancelled graphic novel
In 2007, artist Matt Haley was tasked with the project of a Twin Peaks graphic novel that would serve as a continuation of the television series. Writer Robert Engels was also heavily involved and planned to use story ideas originally planned for the canceled third season.
Cooper, who may or may not be possessed, starts serial killings, including a red-haired portrayed by Sheryl Lee. Truman, still broken by Josie, would drive backwards through a corn field with the One-Armed Man to go to the Lodge and rescue Cooper.[19]
Engels wished to steer the show away from the high school setting and years later, following the resolution of Cooper's possession by BOB, Cooper was to have quit the FBI and have become Twin Peaks' local pharmacist, Truman became a recluse and stopped being sheriff, being replaced by Andy, the comatose Annie never returned, Ben gave away his money and stayed with the wheel-chaired Audrey in a convalescent home following the bank explosion, Josie is haunting the Great Northern, James is still missing.[19]
The graphic novel was to be released in Twin Peaks: Definitive Gold Box Edition, but plans fell through when David Lynch vetoed the idea, wishing to not continue the story of Twin Peaks in any way.[19]
Showtime
The series was first announced on October 6, 2014, as a limited series of nine episodes that would premiere on the Showtime cable network in 2016. All scripts were written by original series creators Mark Frost and David Lynch. The series was described as revisiting the town of Twin Peaks and its inhabitants twenty-five years after the events of the original series.[20] Parts of the original blueprints of the 1990's season three were reused for the revival series.[21]
On January 12, 2015, it was confirmed that Kyle MacLachlan would reprise the role of Dale Cooper.[22] Four days later, Sheryl Lee and Dana Ashbrook also announced their casting in the 2016 series. They also implied the return of Sherilyn Fenn.[23] On September 18, 2015, it was revealed that Amanda Seyfried would have a recurring role on the new series as a "pivotal new character."[24] Two days later, it was reported that Balthazar Getty was part of the cast.[25]
On March 14, 2015, Lynch stated that there were contract negotiation "complications" impeding the progress of the production.[26]
On April 5, 2015, Lynch announced that he was pulling out of the series because Showtime was not offering enough money to properly fund the production of his scripts. Showtime stated that they still intended to proceed with the production.[27]
On May 15, 2015, Lynch announced that he was returning to the project and Showtime confirmed as much. Showtime also stated that Lynch would direct every episode and that there would be more than the initially announced nine episodes.[28]
After completing the original script, which was estimated to run nine episodes, Mark Frost began writing The Secret History of Twin Peaks, while Lynch wrote some additional material to make use of the extended episode order. These scenes were sent to Frost and approved prior to filming.[29]
Sheryl Lee and Sherilyn Fenn spoke at a panel at Seattle's Crypticon convention on May 23. They revealed that Lynch would direct eighteen Twin Peaks episodes for Showtime, that Angelo Badalamenti would return as the composer and that the new series would shoot on location in Washington State. Filming began in September 2015 and wrapped in April 2016.[30][31] The series takes the form of a movie divided into eighteen "parts," which should not be called "episodes."[32][33] Lynch stated, perhaps jokingly, that the parts could be viewed out of order.[33]
Promotional material
On March 21, 2017, Showtime launched eight[34] billboards in the following cities (two per town): Seattle, Missoula, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
