Twin Peaks

Who killed Laura?

Twin Peaks was first aired from April 1990 to June 1991 and was created David Lynch and Mark Frost.  The show is set in the fictional town of Twin Peaks, Washington. The primary filming took place in Snoqualmie and North Bend, Washington.


The central plotline is the story of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and his investigation of the murder of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), a popular local student and homecoming queen whose plastic-wrapped body is found on a river bank.


Twin Peaks was originally broadcast on ABC and, in its short first season, was one of the network's most successful television programs. In its longer second season, low viewer ratings led to cancellation. Despite this, it became a pop culture touchstone, and inspired a film prequel, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992). The series also influenced and inspired several subsequent television series, including Northern Exposure, Picket Fences, Wild Palms, The X-Files, and Lost.


The series is set in 1989, with each episode — barring
occasional exceptions — representing a single day in the
chronology and is a unique piece of television.
