I finally got my hands on the first season, special edition-set. I was wondering if anyone knows what is up with season 2? What's the deal with David Lynch?

Man I've been waiting for Season 2 for soooo long. The first season set is great, and there have been rumours of season 2 coming on a number of occasions but nothing happened.

If you do a google search you should find lots of discussion on this topic and there is also a petition somewhere - go sign it!

You can find season 2 on ebay but they are foreign versions that are nowhere near the quality of the official season 1 set.

Twin Peaks - 2nd Season DVDs To Get New Video Transfers
Posted by David Lambert
2/05/2005


In our last Twin Peaks news item, we passed along information about how Lancelot Narayan, one of the industry's leading producers of DVD bonus material, had been engaged by Paramount to work on extras for the studio's upcoming release of Twin Peaks - Season 2. That was some great news, and we know we're going to get a great product out of Paramount for this highly anticipated release.

But not everybody was so sure. In that previous story, we found ourselves mentioning bad rumors on the 'net that claimed the stuidio had no interest in taking the time to remaster the the 2nd season's negatives in the same fashion as Artisan remastered the very-well-received first season. Our response at the time was: "Our take on this right now is that this is unsubstantiated...We find it hard to believe that they will fail to bring this in at their usual well-done standards. " Well, it looks like we were correct to keep the faith!

Dugpa.com, a leading website for information about David Lynch and his works, had the following statement in regard to these rumors:

New Transfers for Twin Peaks Season 2 ?!!!
I have just received information today that has confirmed that Paramount has decided to go with new video transfers for Twin Peaks: Season 2 DVD set. It appears that the information I had received from Paramount Germany was old information, as they had planned on releasing the Series on their own shortly after their release of Season 1 on DVD. Now that Paramount is doing a worldwide release, all territories under the Paramount branch will be using the same transfers for the Season 2 box set. Great news indeed!!! Now we'll just have to wait and see if the new transfer is up to the same quality as the Season 1 set.

So that's that. Dugpa.com also has a new story posted yesterday that mentions that a new documentary based on the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is in the works, and they ask for help from readers who may have materials that could be used in it. Look over there for details about that. And stay tuned to TVShowsOnDVD for all the info about Twin Peaks - Season 2. We'll bring that info to you just as soon as we possibly can!


So, there you go. I too have been waiting for this. It really is boiling down to a couple of things...The rights are now released to one company that owns it AND the Fire Walk With Me DVD is a BIG deal. As apparently there was over an hour of cut footage that featured many of the characters from the series (everyone was there for the shooting of the movie except for Lara Flynn Boyle and Sherily Fenn), like a scene with Norma and Ed. Lynch, however said that this extra footage...which will be bonus material ...will not be integrated into the movie

thanx for that!

Althogh...you are a different region than me, no? I did see something out there already...but for a different region. Check amazon.uk or ebay (saw them there). Not sure how official though.
