Can you solve these cryp­tic Twin Peaks puzzles?

Full of strange clues and opaque sym­bol­ism, the first two series of Twin Peaks delight­ed in pro­vok­ing us with com­plex­ly lay­ered mys­tery. It seems entire­ly fit­ting, then, that four new teasers for the show’s upcom­ing third sea­son have done away with char­ac­ters and plot – they are lit­er­al­ly just visu­al puzzles.

Don’t wor­ry though, these videos aren’t Log Lady-lev­el con­fus­ing. In the first one, let­ters appear over a black screen in the shape of the icon­ic Twin Peaks moun­tains. Over com­pos­er Ange­lo Badalamenti’s omi­nous theme music, they fade back out – did you get the message?

If not, the answers are hand­i­ly pro­vid­ed in the descrip­tion box beneath each video. If only Agent Coop­er had it so easy. The first video’s mes­sage reads ​“Where we’re from, the birds sing a pret­ty song and there’s always music in the air.” The fol­low­ing videos tease: ​“My log has some­thing to tell you,” and ​“What is hap­pen­ing with Agent Cooper?”

These teasers arrive as the show’s long-await­ed return draws ever near­er. On Sun­day 21 May the first new Twin Peaks episodes since 1991 will air. The third sea­son picks up 25 years on from where series two left us dan­gling, and sees the return of famil­iar faces includ­ing Agent Coop­er, Shelly, Nor­ma, Bob­by, James, and Sarah Palmer.

New char­ac­ters will be played by Jen­nifer Jason Leigh, Mon­i­ca Bel­luc­ci, Michael Cera and Aman­da Seyfried, as well as Lynch alum­ni Lau­ra Dern, Nao­mi Watts and Balt­haz­ar Get­ty. See if you can crack these cryp­tic teasers below and then find out every­thing else you need to know about the new series in our spe­cial pre­view.
