In the world of David Lynch's Twin Peaks, today marks the first time Special Agent Dale Cooper entered a small town rocked by the murder of the seemingly perfect Laura Palmer, and to mark the occasion, Showtime has revealed the official key art for the series' return this May.

Press Release: NEW YORK – February 24, 2017 – In honor of TWIN PEAKS Day, SHOWTIME has released dual posters for the new limited series, which will debut with a two-part premiere on Sunday, May 21 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on air, on demand and over the internet. One poster depicts Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), whose mysterious death sparked the TWIN PEAKS saga, while the other showcases series star Kyle MacLachlan as Special Agent Dale Cooper.
