"Totally worth the extra brewing time and the cup is even bigger than we expected. David will direct the whole thing which will total more than the originally announced nine hours. Preproduction starts now!!" he added.
The news comes a month after Lynch announced his departure from the "Twin Peaks" revival due to salary dispute. Originally on board to direct the project, he said back then that there was "not enough money offered to do the script the way I felt needed to be done."
Now that the reboot is really happening, original cast members including Kyle MacLachlan, Sheryl Lee, Dana Ashbook and Sherilyn Fenn are expected to reprise their roles.
