'Twin Peaks' Pushed Back to 2017 Due to Pressure of the Past

Looking forward to the revival of cult hit "Twin Peaks?" Well, fans will have to wait another year longer as the shows debut has been pushed back to 2017.

The decision comes from the shows own daunting reputation. When the "Twin Peaks" first aired, twenty-five years ago, it didn't have much competition to be number one.

Television stations were few and decent shows were even fewer, which could have played a hand in the show's launch to greatness.

Mark Frost, the co-creator of the show, sat down with the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and spoke about the reasoning in a little more depth.

Frost said, "The challenge for us is to try and come back and raise the bar above what we did the last time. We're coming back with season three of 'Twin Peaks' after a 25-year absence. We've finished the scripts, we start production in September, and that will be coming out on Showtime sometime in 2017."

"Twin Peaks" third season was announced late last year.

The show follows a peculiar FBI agent, Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), as he investigates the murder of a teenager, Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), in the small, strange, Washington town of Twin Peaks. The show was on ABC for two seasons.

The third season has most of the major players returning to the project. It was supposed to be ready to play on Showtime for 2016.
