Twin Peaks to return in 2016

If you watched Twin Peaks we can be friends.

Showtime announced that it had ordered a 9-episode season of the cult favorite show, Twin Peaks, to be written by original creators David Lynch and Mark Frost. The final episode of the show aired 23 years ago on ABC and Showtime is bringing the story back and the new season will take place 25-years after the original events took place.

Conveniently, production will begin in 2015 so the show will air on its 25th anniversary. It was also stressed that the return is not a remake or reboot of the show and that it will follow with the style and events that were originally introduced to viewers. Showtime will be airing reruns of the show's original episodes to prepare viewers for the new season. For some it will be a brand new experience while for others it will be great memories.

In case you never watched and have no idea, Twin Peaks follows a small northwestern town left horrified after their homecoming queen, Laura Palmer, was murdered. The local sheriff welcomes an FBI agent onto the case and as he begins to unfold the mystery surrounding Palmer's murder, the secrets of the town all start to come to the surface. As a result, several eerie events begin to take place in the town of Twin Peaks leaving the residents with a dark examination of their own lives.

Just a heads up... the existing seasons are currently available for streaming on Netflix. Highly recommended.

Dexter coming to Netflix on October 31st

For those who have never watched the popular Showtime series Dexter, starring Michael C. Hall, you soon won't have an excuse as Netflix has struck a deal with CBS Films which will make the show available on instant streaming. The first four seasons will be made available on October 31st, just in time for Halloween, while seasons 5-8 won't be up until January 1st, 2014.
Dexter tells the story of a blood splatter analyst who leads a secret life as a serial killer who hunts down criminals who haven't been brought to justice.

I am one of the unfortunate persons who doesn't have Showtime, so I have never seen an episode of Dexter. I have heard good things and will most likely give it a shot when it's streaming. From what I have heard the show really started to slip away after season four, so I might just watch those and stop.
