Summary
After being absent from the most recent installment of the show, Heather Graham weighs in on a potentialTwin Peaksreturn. Created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, the mystery drama primarily revolved around Kyle MacLachlan’s Dale Cooper, an FBI agent who travels to the titular small town to investigate themurder of local homecoming queen, Laura Palmer, only to become embroiled in local drama and otherworldly elements nearby. Graham was introduced inTwin Peaksseason 2 as Annie Blackburn, a former local who moves back to town and becomes both Cooper’s love interest and a target of the malevolent Windom Earle.
During a recent interview withScreen Rantto discuss her Western thriller,Place of Bones, Graham was asked about her potential interest in reprisingTwin Peaks' Annie after her season 3 absence. The star was very enthusiastic in her desire to return to Lynch and Frost’s surreal show, while also wishing her “character was still alive” and calling on fans to put the word out. See what Graham said below:
It’s so cool people love that show so much, and I’m also a big fan. I wish that my character was still alive, and I wish I could be in more of the Twin Peaks things. I think it was questioning, “Did she die?” But I would love to come back to life and be in more Twin Peaks stuff. [Laughs] I want to hear about the book. I actually never read that. I want to be brought back to life. Let’s put it out there!
Twin Peaks Season 4 Is Unlikely (But There’s Another Source For Answers)
Questions ofa potentialTwin Peaksseason 4have swirled in the years following the show’s 2017 revival,The Return, in which Lynch and Frost offered some answers to the long-standing mysteries of their universe. Both creators initially seemed open to the prospect of continuing the show following season 3’s release, though frequently downplayed the possibility of a quicker turnaround due to the length of time it took to put togetherThe Return. The years since have primarily seen silence from them both, though executive producer Sabrina S. Sutherland did indicate in May 2024 “that David has more ideas for another season.”
Twin Peaks Complete Timeline (& Every Alternate Timeline) Explained
In David Lynch’s tour de force, Twin Peaks, time and reality are fluid and elusive. Here’s Twin Peaks' primary & alternate timelines explained.
Despite some hopes from fans of the show for more,the possibility ofTwin Peaksseason 4happening seems to be dwindling as the years pass. Lynch indicated in August 2024 that due to an emphysema diagnosis, he is unable to direct projects in person, though assured he would not be fully retiring. The fact that Frost has also remained reluctant to get to work on another season of late creates a major hurdle in finding the right creative balance between the surreal approach Lynch brings to his projects and the more straightforward one of Frost.
Though fans of the show may not get another revival, ther is a key source for them to get answers to some ofTwin Peaks’unanswered mysteries with Frost’sTwin Peaks: The Final Dossier. Released shortly afterThe Return, the book filled in the details of the 25 years between season 2 and 3, including confirming thatGraham’s Anniehas been stuck in a catatonic state since the season 2 cliffhanger finale. WhileThe Returnleft just as many questions unanswered as its predecessor, audiences can at least get some of the resolutions they desire with the 2017 novel.
Twin Peaks
Cast
Conceived by Mark Frost and David Lynch in 1990, Twin Peaks is a supernatural mystery-drama series that brings FBI Agent Dale Cooper to the quiet town of Twin Peaks to investigate the murder of a young woman named Laura Palmer. As Dale continues his investigation of her death, he learns that Laura’s life wasn’t as she advertised it, and the town itself is hiding far more secrets than they let on. The show received a revival for a third and final season two decades later to resolve the cliffhanger left at the end of the second season.
