(Kyle MacLachlan)
Some 25
years ago, a dark murder-mystery unfolded every week on television in the
peculiar little town of Twin Peaks. That thrilling drama became a hit
cult classic and now, more than two decades later, M-Net is bringing viewers
the brand new season of the show that had everyone asking, “Who killed Laura
Palmer?”
Starting
May 23 at 21h30 on M-Net channel 101 on DStv, a new season of Twin Peaks
will immerse fans in a fresh era of dark mystery, helmed by acclaimed director
David Lynch, creator of the original ground-breaking series. The
much-anticipated revival will see Golden Globe winner and Emmy®Award nominee
Kyle MacLachlan reprise his role as FBI Agent Dale Cooper.
And
that’s not all: hardcore fans and newly-intrigued interlopers will be delighted
to know that M-Net will also be screening the first two seasons of the cult
classic for a binge-worthy refresher course like no other.
On May
6, M-Net Binge channel 900 on DStv will be airing the original season one of Twin
Peaks, where the dark side of the 90s began. Viewers can catch all 9
episodes of season one from 21h30 to around 04h00, or record these for an
ultimate murder-mystery binge experience later.
On May 7 viewers can get hooked on season two of Twin
Peaks, in back-to-back episodes from 21h30 to around 04h00. Thereafter,
season two will continue on May 13 from 21h30 to around 04h00 and finally,
viewers will be all caught up with season two’s conclusion by May 14 from 21h30
to around midnight.
Following
a brutal murder in a quaint town, Twin Peaks unpacks the
sometimes-eerie-mostly-disturbing investigation into the death of high-school
homecoming queen and popular student, Laura Palmer. For a town filled with
secrets, Twin Peaks revealed much
more than the killer and delved instead into a darker examination of human
nature.
Though
shrouded in mystery, the new season promises to be a continuation of where the
old one left off, meaning that viewers can expect more drama, intrigue and
chilling homicide.
Returning

Sherilyn Fenn (Shameless), Mädchen Amick (Riverdale), Dana
Ashbrook (Chicago P.D., Rosewood), James Marshall (A Few Good Men),
