Interesting facts

Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces is a 2014 compilation of deleted and extended scenes from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, a 1992 psychological horror film directed by David Lynch and written by Lynch and Robert Engels. The scenes were not included in the early home video releases of Fire Walk with Me and remained under lock and key for over twenty years, although their content was generally known to the public via the Fire Walk with Me script.

Development and release

In 2012, Lynch and Mark Frost secretly began developing a third season of Twin Peaks, which premiered in 2017. In January 2015, they delivered a version of the season three script to Showtime (the cable TV arm of Paramount, which owned the rights to Twin Peaks through Aaron Spelling Productions).

While promoting the box set, Lynch commented that "it was great going back into the world [of Twin Peaks] ... and living with the people again". The third season was still a secret at the time, but when asked about future Twin Peaks stories, Lynch teased that "you never say never".

To commemorate the box set, Paramount organized a special screening of The Missing Pieces at the Vista Theatre in Los Angeles on July 16, 2014. Lynch delivered a cryptic introduction about the beauty of wood. Three months later, Showtime announced the third season of Twin Peaks.

It was also released as bonus material on the Criterion Collection edition of Fire Walk with Me.
