Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series
All 18 parts of Twin Peaks. Parts 1 and 2, and Parts 3 and 4 can be watched separately or conjoined as originally aired on Showtime on May 21st. And no, there’s no single movie cut.
By the way, here’s Amazon’s attempt to summarize the 18 hours:
All 18 episodes from the third season of the US crime drama created by David Lynch and Mark Frost. Picking up 25 years after the end of the second season, the show follows FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan)’s odyssey back to the town of Twin Peaks. After escaping the Black Lodge he mistakenly takes the place of his doppelgänger [sic] Dougie Jones, who lives in Las Vegas with his wife Janey-E (Naomi Watts) and son Sonny Jim (Pierce Gagnon) in a state of catatonia, while his evil doppelgänger is left to roam free on his violent crusade. Meanwhile, the Twin Peaks Sheriff Department and FBI Deputy Director Gordon Cole (David Lynch) and Agent Albert Rosenfield (Miguel Ferrer) continue their search for the real Special Agent Cooper. The cast also includes Sheryl Lee, Laura Dern, Michael Horse, Kimmy Robertson and Mädchen Amick.

No 4k??
David Lynch used a Arri Amira camera for the shooting of The Return.
It’s a 2K digital camera.
So, no 4K Blu Ray.
(BTW, Game of Thrones is filmed also with 2K cameras.
Westworld is filmed with 4K cameras and I think this is the only one TV series released on 4K Blu Ray)
No it’s not 2k, they shot in something like 3.6k and upscaled it to 4k because that’s what Showtime demands. So there definitely does exist a 4k cut.
I too hope it gets released at some point
Being shot in 2k doesn’t really mean anything in regards to getting a 4k uhd release
Will this also be available in the UK?
Most definitely
It’s available in the UK with free shipping.

beflygelt: Do you know this for an absolute fact? Showtime showed it only in 1080p, right?
This will NOT be released in the UK.
I need to know if you will have subtitles in Spanish
Doesn’t matter what they shot it with, because it sucks. So disappointed.
I used to hope the artwork would grow on me. It doesn’t.
The only thing I liked was the “Season 3” instead of “The return”. And now it’s gone.
Enough with the negative.
At least I had 18 episodes of frustration, excitement, wandering, and thinking. If this season wasn’t the Twin Peaks I wanted, it was a great ride. Something that made me think so much. This season is still haunting me. I have a love/hate relation with this season. Mostly love.
Any comments on Portuguese subtitles yet?
Still waiting on that information from CBS.
Thank you. Could you please let us know as soon as you know it? 🙂
What will be the region of blue ray UK edition, the same as in US, region 1? Because I want to see it in Poland and I don’t know if it makes sense to order it from UK on BLue ray….
Shame there’s additional extras that are available on bluray but not on the DVD version. I don’t have a bluray player and am reluctant to buy one just for this……but boy do I want to see those documentaries!
why isn’t the bluray available for immediate purchase in USA/los angeles?
release date was dec 5.
what gives?
Contains spanish subtitules??? Thanks
This release doesn’t.
