And the television landscape would never be the same again after David Lynch released his TV masterpiece Twin Peaks (1990-91) and later its prequel film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992). The series resonated with viewers across the world and had a profound impact on the next generation of TV showrunners—many of whom were inspired to usher in a more sophisticated era of television that we currently enjoy today.

Volumes I, II, and III will cover all motion pictures written and/or directed by David Lynch, while Volumes IV will be comprised of a deep analysis of Twin Peaks: The Return, particularly the new revival of Twin Peaks 25 years later.

Volume IV will fully justify the title 40 Years of David Lynch as Michael examines in detail all 18 parts of the new Twin Peaks, which David Lynch co-wrote and personally directed. They are slated to begin airing soon on the premium cable network Showtime, starting May 21 and ending September 03, 2017.
