Movies like the return

The third season of Twin Peaks, also known as Twin Peaks: The Return and Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series, consists of 18 episodes and premiered on Showtime on May 21, 2017. Developed and written by creators David Lynch and Mark Frost, the season is a continuation of the 1990–1991 ABC series. An ensemble of returning and new cast members appear, led by original star Kyle MacLachlan and directed by Lynch.

Set 25 years after the events of the original Twin Peaks, the season follows multiple storylines, many of which are linked to FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (MacLachlan) and his original 1989 investigation into the murder of Twin Peaks homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). In addition to the fictional Washington State town of Twin Peaks, the story extends to locations such as New York City, Las Vegas, South Dakota, Philadelphia, and New Mexico. Showtime president David Nevins said that "the core of [the plot] is Agent Cooper's odyssey back to Twin Peaks".
