Coulson, Jan D’Arcy, Laura Dern, David Duchovny, Sherilyn Fenn, Miguel Ferrer, Eddie Vedder, Naomi Watts, and Alicia Witt.
Season Three Ratings
The third season of Twin Peaks averaged a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 287,000 viewers. Learn how Twin Peaks stacks up against the other Showtime TV shows.
As of August 8, 2017, Showtime has confirmed there won’t be another season season of Twin Peaks (at least for now). There will be no fourth season. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Although Showtime relies on paid subscriptions rather than ad revenue, they still have to run programming that will help them attract and retain paying customers. Showtime is releasing the episodes online so it’s no big surprise that Twin Peaks is doing poorly in the ratings. David Lynch has said he currently has no plans to do another installment, but wouldn’t rule one out. We’ll see what happens if the revival takes off and Showtime backs up the money truck. For now, I think that there won’t be another season. Subscribe for free updates on Twin Peaks cancellation and renewal news.
