Showtime president David Nevins has vowed that the network will not interfere with Mark Frost and David Lynch's writing process on Twin Peaks.

The critically-acclaimed series will return to television in 2016 after a 25-year hiatus, with lead actor Kyle MacLachlan reprising his role as FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper.

Nevins told reporters at the TCA press tour earlier this week that Frost and Lynch will have creative freedom in crafting the storyline for season three.

"[We'll be] more or less writing checks and leaving them alone. It's David's show, it's Mark's show, I will be the grateful recipient of it," the executive said.

He went on to say: "I will say that they have been very specific in promising closure, and that's exciting."

Nevins also said during his TCAs appearance that he practically "begged" Lynch to agree to direct all nine episodes of the new season.
