The Development of 'Fire Walk With Me'

The podcast delves into the origins of 'Fire Walk With Me' as a prequel to 'Twin Peaks', which was prompted by David Lynch's three-picture deal after the series concluded. Despite expectations for continuity with the show, many original cast members declined to participate, expressing dissatisfaction with the darker direction of the screenplay. The mixed results in casting decisions led to a noticeable absence of established characters, although the release of 'The Missing Pieces' later revealed alternative scenes with more original cast involvement. The differing sentiments among the cast reflect broader frustrations with the show's trajectory, particularly among those whose characters faced less attention in the latter part of the series.
