Get ready to slice yourself a thick slice of cherry pie. "Twin Peaks," the cult favorite that last aired 23 years ago, is returning to the airwaves with nine new episodes airing on Showtime.

Original creators David Lynch and Minnesota native Mark Frost will be writing all the episodes with Lynch serving as sole director. Frost has largely been missing from the TV world over the past 15 years as he's focused on writing books.

"The mysterious and special world of Twin Peaks is pulling us back," Frost and Lynch said in a joint statement. "We're very excited. May the forest be with you."

"Twin Peaks" will go into production in 2015 with episodes airing in 2016. No word yet on the cast.
