In an appearance in Australia last week, David Lynch made a few offhand comments that were widely interpreted as a sign that Showtime's upcoming Twin Peaks revival may not happen after all. "I'm not sure at this point if [Twin Peaks] is happening," Lynch reportedly said, referring to unspecified "complications."
That might sound bad, but relax, Twin Peaks fans: Anyone declaring that season 3 is doomed is making some serious and premature assumptions. For starters, a source close to the show has already told Entertainment Weekly that, despite Lynch's comments, "everything is moving forward and everybody is crazy thrilled and excited." Numerous actors have already confirmed their involvement.

Contract negotiations are often difficult and contentious. That goes double for someone like David Lynch, who insists on a much greater degree of creative control than your average director. But these disputes generally happen behind closed doors. The only reason this is making headlines is that there's so much extra scrutiny on Twin Peaks. In the absence of actual news, don't believe anyone who tells you that Twin Peaks season 3 isn't happening.
