  • Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer) remembers how much the role of Laura, a victim of sexual abuse and incest, meant to viewers. Women would come up to her telling their stories or thanking her for her portrayal. Lee feels Fire Walk With Me was Laura's voice being heard.

  • Co-creator Mark Frost notes Twin Peaks is the story of a terrible tragedy and had ABC known up front it was about a girl who was a victim of incest, it never would have been greenlit.

  • Frost and creator David Lynch began working on the Showtime revival series in 2012 and for a year didn't tell anyone, even their wives.

  • Lee knows the meaning of the final scene of the revival but won't reveal it because she wants viewers to come to their own conclusions. She would love to continue the revival but Frost thinks it's the perfect ending.






  • Indiewire goes into the lasting impact of Twin Peaks, 30 years later (the pilot aired April 8th, 1990). Creators of Riverdale and Veronica Mars have given Twin Peaks as an influence.

  • Notes Laura Palmer and the vibe of location is the essence of the show.

  • While Indiewire notes "Some “Twin Pinks” fans view [the revival ending] as a cliffhanger that demands resolution, but in many ways it’s the only ending “Twin Peaks” can have. Laura was doomed in the original “Twin Peaks” narrative. Carrie is doomed in an alternate one. Evil wins no matter the timeline" they suggest Lynch's message is that fighting evil is more important than a victory.



Happy Twin Peaks day!
