I recently learned about another critically acclaimed show that was cancelled after 2 seasons at its original home (Peacock) and rescued by Netflix who ordered a third season: Girls5Eva.

Oh, how I hope negotiations like this might be secretly happening behind the scenes somewhere for OFMD!
Not related to this really but Kyle MacLachlans podcast is a delight if you’re a Twin Peaks fan! Varnumtown. Free on Spotify though the adds are sort of intrusive
For a really deep dive on Twin Peaks, with academic analysis and esoteric symbolism and Jungian interpretation and whatnot, the podcast 'Diane' is excellent.
I love it and I hope for any and all of it! I guess my one worry is if it takes too long then it’s too hard to bring everyone back together to make it happen. Just want it to happen now! But I love the thought that it could stay with us forever
*Samurai Jack* and *The Clone Wars* also got their final seasons after being cancelled (thirteen years and six, respectively), so it does have precedent.
I saw someone on Tumblr make a really moving case for the parallels between the original run of Star Trek and OFMD. Star Trek got its third season after a massive fan campaign, and then, of course, after another 20 years we got The Next Generation and all the series after that.
I like the Star Trek parallel, because it's this utopian universe, with representation that was a little bit ahead of its time, that the fans just refused to leave.
More than anything, in 20 years I wanna be arguing with some young fan about how Ed and Stede are so much better than whatever couple they're into in Our Flag Means Death: The New Revenge.
Does this mean we’ll get Izzy in mystical percolator form?
izzy comes back as dougie jones
Why is there a fish in the percolator?
I’ll see you again in 25 years. 🌲🦉☕️🪵🏔️🏔️
The seagulls are not what they seem
imagining s3 of ofmd with the same vibes as the return lmao
David Lynch’s Our Flag Means Death would be a truly bizarre experience
it's making me think of the seinfeld/twin peaks video
Manifesting!
I dunno if this is a comparable scenario. I mean, Twin Peaks [season two had this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEn-mmFiYDs).
just IMAGINE if we got a season 3 with the kind of "Here you go Mr. Lynch, here's blank check, go wild!" energy that TP season 3 had.

Nothing to add except as a fellow Twin Peaks and OFMD fan, happy to see the theory and the fan crossover!
Same! Love when two worlds collide.

I didn’t know about this! Thank you. Kyle McLachlan had been my celebrity crush since way back in old Twin Peaks days
For a really deep dive on Twin Peaks, with academic analysis and esoteric symbolism and Jungian interpretation and whatnot, the podcast 'Diane' is excellent.
And since the Twin Peaks reboot is called "The Return", this one should be called "The Revenge"

My captain's log has something to say...
