"We're coming back with season three of Twin Peaks after a 25-year absence. We've finished the scripts, we start production in September, and that will be coming out on Showtime sometime in 2017."

Not surprisingly, Twin Peaks dominated Showtime’s TCA executive session. At the top, Showtime Networks president David Nevins announced that the followup series from David Lynch and Mark Frost is slated to start production in September. Lynch is set to direct all episodes. He and Frost actually wrote one long script. Lynch will shoot the series continuously as a movie, and later cut it into episodes. Originally envisioned as being 9 episodes, the series will likely run longer but the exact number of episodes is still in flux and won’t be known until after filming is completed, Nevins said.
TVLine has learned exclusively that Michael Ontkean has opted not to reprise his beloved role of Sheriff Harry S. Truman in the upcoming limited-run revival. Rumor has it that veteran actor Robert Forster (Heroes, Karen Sisco) has stepped in to replace Ontkean as the town’s top lawman, although it’s unclear if he will be playing Truman or a new sheriff.

As you said above, the big shows like Breaking Bad, Sopranos & The Wire will always be more popular (amongst all age groups really). But I find with Lynch his work will always resonate with younger viewers too, at least those who like their TV/Film to be a bit offbeat.

It seems to be mostly shows from the 2000 - onwards that get reruns these days. But now with most shows at your fingertips, its never been easier to watch an old show from pretty much any decade. When Twin Peaks was first shown on RTE I saw a few episodes but was quite young and did not have much of a clue what was going on. Second time RTE showed it was around 1997-1998 on Friday nights on Network 2. I got to see it then alright which was great. IIRC RTE used to have Flash Gordon, Blondie, Laurel and Hardy on Saturday afternoons back in the 80s. Them's were the days!
