That gum you like is going to come back in style — and on MUBI.
Thirty-five years after “Twin Peaks” premiered, and just months after late auteur and series co-creator David Lynch died at age 78, the series in all its entirety will stream on MUBI this June.
Lynch and Mark Frost co-created cult classic show “Twin Peaks,” which premiered in 1990 on ABC. The second season aired in 1991 before being canceled by the network; it was later revived in 2017 at Showtime with “Twin Peaks: The Return,” a limited event series. All seasons will come to MUBI starting June 13, with all 30 episodes of “Twin Peaks” and all 18 parts of “Twin Peaks: The Return” on the platform.
The first two seasons of “Twin Peaks” followed FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) as he investigates the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) in the border town of Twin Peaks.
MacLachlan, as well as many other members of the ensemble cast, reprised their respective roles for “Twin Peaks: The Return.” Lynch directed the entire 18-part limited event series, which was set 25 years after Laura Palmer’s murder.
“Twin Peaks” is written and executive produced by Lynch and Frost, with Sabrina S. Sutherland executive producing. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
Both iterations of the series will still remain on the Paramount+/Showtime platform in addition to streaming on MUBI. A representative for MUBI told IndieWire that the deal between MUBI and Paramount Global was specifically made for “Twin Peaks.” The series will be available on MUBI in the following territories: US, LATAM, TR, NL, IN, UK/IE, DE, IT.
“Twin Peaks” star MacLachlan previously said during Canneseries 2024 that the cast all “recognized how weird ‘Twin Peaks’ was” upon its 1990 debut. “We didn’t think it would get past ‘one and done,’” MacLachlan said of the first season, “and thought it might become a movie of the week but said that we had to be part of it because it is David Lynch.”
Lynch did in fact originally plan for film “Mulholland Drive” to be a sequel set within the world of “Twin Peaks,” however the idea was abandoned. The style of “Twin Peaks” would in part define the term Lynchian in reference to Lynch’s tone and aesthetic.
“Launching ‘Twin Peaks’ alongside ‘Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series’ is a dream for MUBI, bringing one of the most loved and discussed series in TV history to the platform,” Katharina Feistauer, VP Global Head of Programming, MUBI, said. “Whilst this launch has been months in the making, the sad news of David Lynch’s death only a few weeks ago makes this opportunity to show his iconic work even more special. We are excited for the Lynch fans in our membership to revisit the episodes comprehensively, as well creating an opportunity for new audiences to discover it for the first time.”
MUBI is a global film distributor, streaming service, and production company.
