View fullsize

Showtime has released the first promo spot for David Lynch's Twin Peaks revival series. The promo focuses on the location where the series is currently shooting. I honestly can't believe this series is actually making a comeback. It almost didn't happen, even after it was initially announced, but thankfully Lynch and Showtime worked out their differences. 

The promo is narrated by actor Michael Horse, who played Deputy Tommy 'Hawk' Hill in the series. It also features some beautiful aerial shots of the misty Northeastern production location, the eerie Twin Peaks score by Angelo Badalamenti, and it ends with the iconic welcome sign.

Several members of the original cast will be reprising their roles in the series, and here's the synopsis that Showtime has released. Unfortunately, it's light on plot details:

The critically-acclaimed, ground breaking television phenomenon TWIN PEAKS returns as a limited series to SHOWTIME in 2017. Currently in production, TWIN PEAKS is written and produced by series creators and executive producers David Lynch and Mark Frost and is directed entirely by David Lynch. While the full mystery awaits, fans can expect many familiar faces, including Golden Globe® winner and Emmy® Award nominee Kyle MacLachlan, who reprises his role as FBI Agent Dale Cooper.

Widely considered one of the most groundbreaking and influential broadcast series of all time, TWIN PEAKS followed the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town who were stunned after their homecoming queen Laura Palmer was shockingly murdered. The town's sheriff welcomed the help of FBI agent Dale Cooper, who came to town to investigate the case. As Cooper conducted his search for Laura's killer, the town's secrets were gradually exposed. The mystery that ensued set off an eerie chain of events that plunged the inhabitants of Twin Peaks into a darker examination of their very existence. Twenty-five years later, the story continues...

The series will premiere in 2017. If you've never watched Twin Peaks before, do yourself a favor and check it out!
