Were it not for websites like Welcome to Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks Archive, where adoring fans of the ABC cult-drama can convene and share pie recipes, it’s unlikely Twin Peaks would be (eventually) returning to television. Maybe that’s an overstatement, but Showtime wouldn’t have written David Lynch a blank check without first seeing if there’s still interest in a series that was canceled 24 years ago. There is, and they’re leaking plot details about the new episodes.
Co-creators Lynch and Mark Frost appreciate fan excitement, but they’re not wild about on-location reporters spoiling every update and development, from photos of butts to signs going up. Twin Peaks Archive recently tweeted, “Word has just reached me that David Lynch is not pleased with spoilers coming from the set. To respect David and Mark, we will stop at once.”

Or in David Lynch Twitter speak: “Dear Twitter Friends, stop ruining my sh*t.”
All will be revealed in due time. In the meantime, thanks to all for helping us #KeepTheMysteryAlive !!

Every time David Lynch gets upset, he makes everyone on set do some Transcendental Meditation. That tweet about Big Ed’s butt (spoiler?) set filming back a good four months. Twin Peaks Freaks have responded to the request with understanding, with one Archive follower writing, “David Lynch is one of the few directors who deserve this level of respect.” (Seltzer and Friedberg are the others.) A log does not judge, and a fan always listens. Or else.
