‘Twin Peaks’ Fans Celebrate The Beloved Cult Series On February 24th!

‘Twin Peaks’ Fans Celebrate The Beloved Cult Series On February 24th!

On February 24, 1989, Special Agent Dale Cooper entered the small town of “Twin Peaks, USA” to solve the mysterious murder of a shy prom queen.

Pop culture would soon never be the same; the fictional special agent and the crop of wacky characters that make up the whimsical city born from the mind of David Lynch would go on to reshape primetime television forever!

In the early 1990s, actor and director David Lynch, who is responsible for cult films such as “Wild At Heart” and “Blue Velvet”, would make his mark on TV with “Twin Peaks”.

Lynch, now 77, created a world unlike anything seen on prime time until then.

The first season of “Twin Peaks” focuses on the murder of Laura Palmer. Laura was seemingly the prom queen with a heart of gold, but Dale Cooper and the residents of Twin Peaks would soon discover that there was a darker and more sinister side to the town’s most beloved residents and viewers couldn’t get enough!

The series would ultimately only last two seasons before being canceled, but “Twin Peaks” would not have a short shelf life; The “Twin Peaks” canon would be expanded with a theatrical film released in 1992, and its cult-like fan reception would lead to a reboot of the series in 2017.

Fans have remained so loyal to the series that they celebrate “Twin Peaks” every year on February 24th, marking the anniversary of Dale Cooper walking into the quiet town and changing it forever!
