How to watch David Lynch’s Twin Peaks in the UK: Streaming options explored

In the wake of renowned filmmaker David Lynch’s death, fans worldwide are revisiting his iconic creations.

The 78 year old American director, known for his affinity for the peculiar and extraordinary, passed away following a previously disclosed emphysema diagnosis. His official Facebook page broke the news earlier this week.

Lynch’s distinctive oeuvre includes celebrated works such as Mulholland Drive, Dune, Eraserhead, and Twin Peaks.

Twin Peaks, in particular, garnered a cult following with its tale of FBI agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) probing the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee).

The narrative soon plunges into a bizarre world filled with supernatural elements, reflecting Lynch’s unique blend of horror and American soap opera conventions.

Despite being cancelled after two seasons on ABC, Twin Peaks returned in 1992 with the film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. In 2017, Showtime revived the series, picking up the story 25 years after the original plotline, reports .

The third season saw MacLachlan reprising his memorable role, with Lynch and Mark Frost resuming their roles as director and writer. The final season received widespread acclaim for its unconventional storytelling, cinematography, and stellar performances.

Many hailed it as 2017’s best show, with some critics even dubbing it the finest show of the decade.

UK viewers can catch Twin Peaks on the streaming service Paramount+, although a subscription is required, with prices starting from £4.99 per month.

The series is also accessible on TV+, but additional charges apply on top of any existing subscriptions.

Prime Video also hosts Twin Peaks, but again, extra costs are involved on top of your subscription.

Alternatively, fans can buy the drama on Amazon in Blu-Ray format, which includes the first two seasons, the film, and the 2017 reboot.

Season three, also known as Twin Peaks: The Return, is available for streaming on NOW.
