In Twin Peaks: The Return, on which date did the revival premiere on Showtime?

Twin Peaks: The Return premiered on Showtime on May 21, 2017. The revival continued the story of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s original series more than 25 years after its 1991 conclusion, matching the long time gap referenced in the show’s mythology.

Showtime presented the opening as a two-hour television event, combining the first two parts of the eighteen-part continuation. The revival was released as a single limited series rather than being divided into conventional broadcast seasons. David Lynch directed all of the parts, while Mark Frost wrote the scripts with Lynch.

The premiere date is sometimes confused with the date on which later parts became available through Showtime’s digital platforms or with the original series premiere in 1990. The 2017 continuation also has the alternate title Twin Peaks: The Return, while some reference sources identify it as Twin Peaks season 3.

Its cast included returning performers such as Kyle MacLachlan, Sherilyn Fenn, and Dana Ashbrook, alongside many new performers.
