The long wait for the return ofTwin Peaksfinally has an end date.

Showtimes revival of thecult favorite 1990s serieswill debut Sunday, May 21.

The premiere will be two hours.

David Lynch is one of the great film masters of my lifetime.

I think this is the pure heroin version of David Lynch and Im excited to put it out.

It was an original social media discussion show before the tools of fan engagement really existed.

Thats one reason why David is so particular about secrecy.

It will really reward close watching and [piecing] things together over time.

Its designed to be a close-ended, one-time event, he said.

Another thing not to expect: A trailer (at least, not a traditional one).

I dont know whether were going to have a traditional trailer, Nevins said.

Asked if the web connection actually gave Lynch notes, the executive said the process wasnt exactly traditional either.

We talked, he said.

I wouldnt call it traditional notes.

But we had deep discussions on the script and on the cuts.

Lynch, not surprisingly, served up episodes to the Showtime executives with donuts and coffee.
