Popular American television drama 'Twin Peaks' will return to TV with its third season after 25 years of hiatus.
The 1990 investigation drama has been revived by Showtime for a new series from original creators David Lynch and Mark Frost, reported Deadline.
The series, which ran for two seasons, fascinated viewers when it originally aired in 1990-1991, and still gets talked about in 'best TV shows of all time' debates among more modern classics, maintaining strong cult status.
The new season will go into production in 2015 and will premiere in 2016 to mark the show's 25th anniversary. Showtime made the announcement today with a brief teaser.
Lynch and Frost will return to write and produce all of the episodes, which will be a continuation rather than a reboot, being set in the present day and hopefully providing some much-needed answers to question left over from the first two seasons.
Kyle MacLachlan is expected to return to his role of FBI agent Dale Cooper, though there are no formal cast announcements as of yet.
Lynch previously teased the possibility of new Twin Peaks on Twitter earlier in the week, writing: "Dear Twitter Friends: That gum you like is going to come back in style! #damngoodcoffee".
The hashtag referenced the phrase Cooper would often use while eating cherry pie, with the tweet itself being posted at 11:30am, the time the agent first entered the town of Twin Peaks.
