MUBI subscribers will soon be able to stream all 30 episodes of David Lynch and Mark Frost's Twin Peaks, as the seminal series will debut on the service on June 13.
All 18 parts of Showtime's 2017 third season, known as both Twin Peaks: The Return and Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series, will also be available.
This year marks 35 years since Twin Peaks‘ premiere in 1990, and with Lynch's recent passing, there's no better time to get stuck into the show if you haven't seen it already.
Starring Kyle McLachlan as quirky FBI Agent Dale Cooper, the series follows the fallout of the murder of the town's beloved prom queen sweetheart, Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). As Cooper finds himself more and more entangled in the world of Twin Peaks, with its odd but lovable residents, the mystery unravels into something truly sinister.
The Return saw many of the original cast, such as Dana Ashbrook, Mädchen Amick, Michael Horse and Catherine Coulson, coming back to the town after 25 years, with new additions including Amanda Seyfried, Michael Cera, Caleb Landry Jones and Robert Forster. Lynch himself played a more prominent role as FBI Director Gordon Cole.
MUBI’s VP Global Head of Programming, Katharina Feistauer had this to say of the acquisition:
“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. 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.”
