Showtime to offer original Twin Peaks episodes during holiday break

Good thing holiday vacation is coming up, because Showtime is set to air the original first two seasons of Twin Peaks, starring Ian Buchanan and Ray Wise.

Just in time for the holiday season, Showtime is gifting fans with a run of the entire original first two seasons of the cult classic Twin Peaks slightly ahead of the series' spin-off scheduled to debut early next year.

The original episodes of David Lynch's series will be available for Showtime subscribers to binge-watch starting December 26 on Showtime's streaming service, Showtime On Demand and Showtime Anytime.

As soap fans know, both Ray Wise (ex-Ian Ward, The Young and the Restless; ex-The Dealer, Knott's Landing; ex-Blair Sullivan, Dallas; ex-Hal Rumley, Days of our Lives) and Ian Buchanan (ex-Duke Lavery, General Hospital; ex-Ian McAllister, DAYS; ex-Dr. James Warwick, The Bold and the Beautiful; ex-Dr. Greg Madden, All My Children) played important roles in the original series, which aired from 1990 to 1991.

The highly anticipated spin-off series is directed entirely by Lynch and mixes original cast members like Wise with new cast members like former AMC and As the World Turns star Amanda Seyfried (ex-Joni Stafford and ex-Lucinda Montgomery, respectively). It picks up twenty-five years after the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town were stunned when their homecoming queen, Laura Palmer, was shockingly murdered.
