Just to be sure on this, when you americans talk about a "2 hours premiere", you're talking about 2x45 minutes plus 30 minutes worth of commercials, right?

[–] SweetCosmicPope 8 years ago

Nope. Showtime is a premium channel, so it's commercial-free. I wouldn't be surprised if they add or remove 5 minutes from the end, though.

Thanks ,I am sooooooooo exited!!

Still no trailer, promo photos, or anything? I guess they had a presentation today, but didn't premiere anything except the date. The first season is airing on Showtime this Saturday, so it'd be almost inconceivable if they didn't air a promo between episodes saying that "this show is coming", etc.

Those waiting for a trailer, meanwhile, should plan on waiting. Maybe forever. Nevins indicated that a themed series of teasers (a la American Horror Story) could unspool prior to its May premiere

Come on, they can't be too cutesy and mysterious in just basic promotion. They have to show some footage.

I personally don't want to know anything in advance ,it ruins the fun for me.

The only reason I watch a movie or a tv show is based on the people behind and in front of the camera.

Does anyone know when it's on in the UK?

Sky Atlantic have got the broadcast rights in the UK. Sometimes they are very good at airing shows near to the US date, sometimes less so. Twin Peaks revival having a lot of media buzz about it should help, in this case.

Simulcast at 2am morning of the 22nd and replayed Tuesday at 9pm. No doubt they're going to butcher it with adverts.

Showtime CEO David Nevins said that the "series will have a global launch around the world".

So therefore it will be broadcast on May 21 in the UK as in the US.

apparently next 2 episodes will be available for showtime subscribers right away after premiere. that means 4 hours of twin peaks on day 1.
