Twin Peaks aired on ABC from 1990 to 1991, featuring 30 episodes over two seasons. It followed the investigation into the murder of Laura Palmer in the small town of Twin Peaks, Washington. The show was a major success in 1990 but ratings declined in the second season as the murder was resolved and storylines became more obscure. While ABC canceled the show, they allowed the final six episodes to air to conclude the mystery of who killed Laura Palmer. The show featured an ensemble cast and used surreal filming techniques to portray the mysterious characters and events in Twin Peaks.
