"Twin Peaks," which ran on ABC in 1990 and 1991, will be returning to the small-screen.

One of the creators of the show, David Lynch, shared the news with an ominous post on his Twitter account, according to Local News 8.

"Dear Twitter Friends. . . It is happening again . . . #damngoodcoffee," tweeted Lynch.

Co-creator Mark Frost added to the suspense, tweeting, "Dear Twitter Friends: That gum you like is going to come back in style. #damngoodcoffee."

The show will reportedly be aired on Showtime. A video was posted on the network's official YouTube page as well to notify "Twin Peaks" fans of the show's highly-anticipated return.


"Twin peaks" will reportedly consist of nine episodes and will be written and produced by David Lynch and Mark Frost.

"What more can I say - 'Twin Peaks' with David Lynch and Mark Frost on Showtime in 2016! To quote Agent Cooper, 'I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange," stated David Nevins, president of Showtime Networks, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Although the original "Twin Peaks" had a rather short run, the show has gone on to have a strong cult-following. The ongoing popularity of the show, which was centered on the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer, has ignited a "Twin Peaks" inspired episode on USA's "Psych" as well as an updated series of the hit show, which showed 90 minutes of previously unseen footage.

The cast of the original included Kyle MacLachlan, Madchen Amick, Michael Ontkean, Dana Ashbrook, Lara Flynn Boyle, Sherilyn Fenn, Richard Beymer, Warren Frost and Peggy Lipton.

Aside from their messages on Twitter, David Lynch and Mark Frost released a joint statement confirming the return of the show.

"The mysterious and special world of 'Twin Peaks' is pulling us back. We're very excited. May the forest be with you," Lynch and Frost announced in a joint statement.
