It will be quite the homecoming when the 90’s cult TV classic Twin Peaks returns to Showtime this May.

To celebrate the 18-episode reboot, Showtime is hosting a Twin Peaks themed event at SXSW.

Happening at Clive Bar on March 16 and 17, the party features themed cocktails, a Twin Peaks Lodge photo booth and live music from acts like Real Estate, M. Ward and Neko Case.

Special Agent Cooper himself, Kyle MacLachlan, is scheduled to appear on the 16th.

Nearby on Rainey Street, fans can also stop by the Double R Diner. The  pop-up shop will offer a free limited quantity of free High Brew Coffee and Tiny Pies cherry pie. Voodoo Doughnut is also creating special Twin Peaks inspired doughnuts. However, it’ll be difficult to get your hands on one since these complimentary creations will only be distributed at the Double R Diner from Noon – 1pm each day.

RSVP for the event HERE.

Twin Peaks premieres with a two-part episode on Sunday, May 21, at 8pm CT on Showtime. Directed entirely by David Lynch, the limited event series picks up 25 years after the inhabitants of the quaint northwestern town were stunned by the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer.
