NBC Exec Comments on the Twin Peaks Rumors

A recent report that Twin Peaks co-creator David Lynch had met with NBC executives to discuss a possible series revival set the internet on fire. The rumors were quickly dispelled, however.

Co-creator Mark Frost took to twitter, saying, "Dear Internet: You are very good at spreading rumors. Truth is more valuable and much harder to come by. Sincerely yours, @mfrost11"

Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment was on hand at today's TCA (Television Critics Association) tour and addressed the Twin Peaks rumors personally, reiterating that they weren't true, while also perhaps giving fans a tiny sliver of hope.

“I called everybody when I got the email," she said. "None of us had gotten a call about that, not from an agent, not from the writer, not the head of drama... so we’re wondering the same thing you are.”

The idea does have an inherent appeal, however, and Salke indicated that the internet may have given the NBC professionals an idea, which has been known to happen (see Mark Wahlberg in Transformers 4).

"When it came up we all looked at each other and said, ‘That’s a good idea.’ We were all kind of like, 'Hmm, we like Twin Peaks!' So, I’ll send some emails today, and see what I can get to come in."
