Lynch was asked about getting the fourth season during an event in Belgrade where he was on Skype. He told that its too early to talk about that if It were to happen we wouldnt see anything in the next 2 or 3 years because the last season took him 5 years to make.
He didnt say No so he propably has some ideas about a new plot.

It sort of sounds like they might already be kicking around ideas. I didn't get the impression from that ending that they were trying to set up more, but I have no doubts that they could pull it off if they wanted to. It will be very interesting to see how the dust settles on the worlds and timelines if that happens, although my one trepidation at this point would be going down a science fiction alternate timeline road, which sounds tired and boring to me on the surface, as well as unsettling in a way I'm not sure I'd want.

I'm almost certain to love whatever they do though, and I sure wouldn't be mad about another ride like this one, or dare I say it, one even more Lynchian. I would personally love it if they just picked up the vibe from Part 18 and took it even further down the rabbit hole into Inland Empire territory, where you don't even know what the hell is going on for the entire duration of the season. Well a guy can dream, can't he?

It seems all the important parties have expressed an openness to the idea of continuing, and we can make a reasonable assumption that if discussions have begun, nothing will be even hinted at publicly until contracts are signed and there is an official announcement.

Still, until then I'm processing the 3rd season as though it is the end.

Lynch says: ''“Many things in life just happen and we have to come to our own conclusions. You can, for example, read a book that raises a series of questions, and you want to talk to the author, but he died a hundred years ago. That’s why everything is up to you.”
the obvious retort to that is, ''yeah, but you're not dead, so can you give us an answer now please while you are still alive to ask? Thanks.''

I suspect they are further along than anyone is willing to admit, and probably had stuff in the mix before filming was over to possibly pick up and continue with in future. If it's true about certain material that was not aired, that's another flag.

I also suspect Laura Dern - who's made it clear in the press she is eager to continue with Diane - may have prodded him to move along as well.

Lynch's view on this is quite typical of what many of his generation of artists came to believe, funnily enough. In this ethos, once a work is made public its connection to a producer seems to evaporate, even while traces of the production process are purposely left in.

'[T]he voice loses its origin, the author enters into his own death, writing begins' claimed Roland Barthes, the year before 'Mai 68' and two years before Foucault replied with his equally notorious essay 'What is an Author?'. These writings resume feelings that had already been given voice earlier on in the century by the New Critics. But these texts had massive repercussions and influences in the art world. In the humanities there was a general feeling that appeals to the authority of an author or producer insufficiently accounted for the meaning and significance of works and texts; such appeals were held to fearfully police meaning's 'proliferation'. The old biographical methodology and connoisseurial accounts that had relied on a 'life-and-works' model of interpreting and appreciating art were seen as outdated and conservative -- it was up to the reception of the crowd what a work meant. I'm not claiming Lynch was explicitly taught these attitudes (his study of fine arts in Boston was perhaps a touch too early in his timeline for that any case) but that there existed within the artistic and literary communities of the late 1960s a 'structure of feeling' (Raymond WIlliams' term) in which people came to reject the author figure as a source of interpretive authority. The importance formerly accorded authors' and artists' names was recast as a mere function of organising and collating works on the part of collectors and critics. The word of the producer could not act as a guarantee or source of meaning. These factors deeply influenced individuals such as Warhol, for example, and led him to the adoption of his purposefully gnomic silence over meaning when confronted by would-be interviewers. By 1971, when Lynch was leaving Philadelphia and heading for Los Angeles and his work on Eraserhead, this structure of feeling would almost certainly have reached him, filtering down through contacts in the art world and their discussions.

While all this context may shed some light on the social genesis of Lynch's outlook, I do think that Lynch has held onto this attitude beyond its historical scope, for different reasons. The 'death of the author' idea has now lost a great deal of its potency and traction, but Lynch has steadfastly repeated its core lesson: to publicly create something is in some sense to die, to be interred beneath one's creation and the vicissitudes of its reception, cast adrift on the tide of culture and its favourite hermeneutic of the hour. But for Lynch I sense his withdrawal from interpretation is not just based on whatever structuralism 101 might have filtered down to his artistic milieu, but is far more something with spiritual implications. He speaks endlessly of creating worlds and feelings and moods (often without naming them) that he wants us to enter. He wants us in there in order to arrive at our own conclusions, and refuses to say yea or nay to these in terms of how they might tally with his intentions. If they are our intuitions, then they are the right ones, he will claim. So something else is also going on there, something that is vaguely reminiscent of 1950s and 1960s 'Human Potential movement' thinking -- Rogerian (after Carl Rogers) and vaguely 'spiritual' in its implicit belief that the universe is unfailingly provident for those who authentically seek answers. You only have to add what we know of Lynch's dalliance with the Maharishi and TM to reach an understanding of how that would gel together with certain western-filtered Asian religions. What may have began with 20th century paradigm shifts in the relation of artistic production and consumption of meaning ends up dovetailing, in Lynch's world, with a view of creativity and art as being inherently spiritually meaningful for the individual and yet silent in a social, shared register. To be honest, once you clear away the veneer of orientalism and 'depth', it's actually a very protestant (i.e. individualising) vision. Meaning is atomised into as many monads as there are people. I don't actually like that aspect of his talk; under the pretence of being non-directive, it is highly directive.

Apologies for the length and tangential nature of this post. Maybe it can live somewhere else in the near future, but I wanted to express it before it evaporated.
As a matter of fact, 'Chalfont' was the name of the people that rented this space before. Two Chalfonts. Weird, huh?

@novalis

blimey

[EDIT] i re-read what you wrote, or rather read it properly.

I had always seen Lynch's refusal to talk about what he does, to keep the mystery, as being similar to the story he told about psychotherapy: he said he went once, and asked the guy, 'will this effect my art-making?' and the therapist said. ' it might', so Lynch immediately stood up, said goodbye, and left. So I've taken the not talking about the work in the same way, as an entirely understandable impulse to protect it, and not wanting to jinx it. Don't break the spell. He seems quite superstitious, in some ways...the big boy diner ( every day for seven years), the 'uniform' dress sense, he has his rituals, he needs them to put himself in the place where he can make what he makes, and come up with ideas. Not ' killing' the work by explaining it, restricting it to one reading, seems like a part of that.
Also, he often says that ideas aren't his, that they come from somewhere else, and if he actually believed that to be true, then i imagine it is a process he would not wish to over-examine too much.

I don't know how any of that fits in with what you wrote, if at all.

David Nevins, Showtime CEO:

Vanity Fair

August 8, 2017
https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/20 ... ext-season
“I don’t think so, but it’s not impossible,” he said, hedging a bit (because hey, you never know). “[Lynch and I are] both avoiding the conversation for a while; we want to let the story coalesce and see how people feel at the end.”

Nevins promised that he and Lynch won’t discuss the future of Twin Peaks until the show’s finale, scheduled for Labor Day weekend. He also noted that “Lynch has been in France pretty much since the premiere event we had,” so he hasn’t been available for discussion.
(.......)
Despite its hallowed place in the pop-cultural canon, The Return is a far weaker performer than Showtime hits like Shameless and Ray Donovan, Nevins acknowledged. Still, he’s “really happy” with its performance, claiming it “drove our business in a way that almost nothing else could.”

“It’s been interesting and maybe it’s a blinding glimpse of how Netflix looks at the world, but [it had] a palpable effect on subscribers even though its overall numbers are not as big as our biggest shows,” Nevins said, adding that the upswing has lasted “for multiple months now.”

The only regret Nevins has is not offering Lynch the deal he wanted up front. In April of 2015, Lynch tweeted he was leaving Twin Peaks. Nevins quickly won him back.

“The only thing I would do differently is I would have given him that deal three weeks earlier,” Nevins said.
(.......)
“It’s not so low either,” Nevins added. “It’s a way higher proportion of streaming than anything else. The multiple compared to the people who watch it on Sunday night live is way higher than anything else. This has always been our weakest quarter. Springtime has always been against Game of Thrones. This year, it’s not so much against Game of Thrones. It went a little bit later, but Q2 has always been our weakest quarter. Cable is up 11% today and you can assume Showtime is up a higher percentage to drive that. That’s new subscriptions driven by Twin Peaks. That’s the biggest factor in that. It kind of did its job for being such an unusual show for us.”
(.......)
Nevins would support alternate cuts and extra footage, but doubts Lynch would be into it.

“I can’t imagine he’ll do a B cut,” Nevins said. “I would be shocked. If he wants to, I’ll support it. I’ll pay for it. I would love it but I can’t imagine he would do that.”

“It was always intended to be one season.” He added, ”A lot of people are speculating but there’s been zero contemplation, zero discussions other than fans asking me about it.” Showtime programming president Gary Levine adds that taking on all 18 hours of the revived mystery was a “Herculean effort“ for director David Lynch, but should Lynch decide he wants to climb the mountain of premium television content once more, Showtime is very much open to the idea. “I don’t know if he wants to do it,” though, Levine adds.

“We haven’t [asked Lynch yet],” Nevins said. “We’ve only had conversations about the previous season. I have not done it yet. I know better. He’s not a guy who’s going to be swayed by salesmanship.”

“There’s enormous promotional interest,” Nevins said. “There’s enormous consumer product interest, so yes. More than most of our shows, Twin Peaks has a consumer products angle that we’re not used to seeing. I don’t know if anyone’s been to the place on Melrose, the Road House. There’s constant interest in Twin Peaks and that’s one of the things we do talk to David about. I want him to have total control over every exploitation of the show.”

“We’re thrilled with Twin Peaks,” Levine said. “The work was extraordinary, the fan reaction was extraordinary and it was incredibly good for our brand. Remember it took 25 years for Mark and David to go from 1.0 to 2.0. Add to that, what David did in the last few years was nothing short of Herculean. To direct 18 episodes of television belongs in the Guinness book, and wrote, and starred and edited and composed. It’s a Herculean task and he did it so beautifully, I don’t know how soon he wants to do it. The door at Showtime is always open to Mark and David for Twin Peaks or anything else they want to talk about.”

Q: Is this limited series meant to offer a sense of finality at the end, or is it another prism through which you can view the series as a whole?

"I'd hate to prejudge for people what their perceptions should be, or even to direct them. I always like, as you know, the work to speak for itself. It's too early really to answer this question, I guess is a long-winded way of saying that. We'll let people tell us what they think, and how they feel, and we'll go from there."

Q: Is it going to be the same thing where if it comes to you it comes to you, if not, you know…

“I think there has to be a compelling reason to do it, you know, um…”

Q: So you didn’t do this season thinking “Oh, here, and then there will be another story after this.”

“No, not necessarily, but you know, never say never, we didn’t know the last time either. There was clearly more unfinished business the last time. We were left mid-narrative there, so at the very least we wanted to feel some sense of completion.”

Q: But it's definitely not something that you rule out?

(a bit later in the interview...)

Q: Going back to the feelings you're having about TV, have you started thinking in terms of long-form storytelling more often in your mind?

"Yeah, it's thrilling to me. Continuing story. It's absolutely thrilling."

Q: And do you think that TV is generally ready for the kind of stories you want to tell, or was Showtime a special case?

"No, I think they're generally ready. And I think it's what's happening. All these things go in waves. But right now, it's a very friendly environment for a continuing story."

Q: Does that make you want to dive in aggressively? Does it make you want to go, I want to catch this wave while it's still cresting?

And he got to do it the way he wanted to. It’s like an 18-hour movie, so he’s happy. Let’s just stay positive. It really turned out the way he wanted it to in his heart.”

I loved Episode 29 as an ending, but was thrilled to learn we were getting more. Going into this season, I was one of those who wanted closure and a definitive ending. Instead, I find myself in the same place I was after S2: extremely happy with Part 18 as a full stop ending if that's what it ends up being, but also very excited at the prospect of a continuation.

Very interesting. Thanks for the information.

EDIT: It seems that the info comes from this reddit post, and two linked articles (in Serbian).
Yes I took It from Reddit but welcometotwinpeaks.com wrote about it too.

Lynch says: ''“Many things in life just happen and we have to come to our own conclusions. You can, for example, read a book that raises a series of questions, and you want to talk to the author, but he died a hundred years ago. That’s why everything is up to you.”
the obvious retort to that is, ''yeah, but you're not dead, so can you give us an answer now please while you are still alive to ask? Thanks.''
I agree 100% with Lynch on this. People have a tendency to hang too much value on the words of an artist when they talk about their work. Hell even if they don't, they will look into the biography of an artist as way to interpret their art. People have often talked about an incident in Lynch's childhood where he saw a naked battered woman walking out of a house and how the trauma of that experience has kept resurfacing in Lynch's work. Sure it has, but does that make it resonate more personally with the viewer? The Ruby scene in part 15 resonated with me for reasons that probably had nothing to do with the reasons Lynch put the scene there, and that's much more powerful than understanding Lynch's intention. An explanation of the artists intentions puts a fence around the experience people have. Lynch refusing to provide an answer leaves us free to create meaning out of his work that resonates with our own experience.

"Closure. I keep hearing that word. It's the theater of the absurd. Everybody knows that on television they'll see the end of the story in the last 15 minutes of the thing. It's like a drug. To me, that's the beauty of Twin Peaks. We throw in some curve balls. As soon as a show has a sense of closure, it gives you an excuse to forget you've seen the damn thing."

Heh, I don't fully agree with his last statement. MD gave me some pretty solid closure, and I wanted to rewatch the second it ended, again and again. But, point taken.
