The entire run of 'Twin Peaks' was just added to a streaming service you've probably never heard of — here's where to watch all 48 episodes now
It's the 35th anniversary of "Twin Peaks" this year, with the first episode of David Lynch's acclaimed mystery-horror drama premiering back on April 8, 1990. To celebrate, the streaming service Mubi has added all 48 episodes of the series — 30 episodes of "Twin Peaks" and 18 episodes of "Twin Peaks: A Limited Series Event" (also referred to as "Twin Peaks: The Return" or "Twin Peaks" season 3) — available to stream right now. If you haven't heard of Mubi, that's understandable. It's not currently on our list of the best streaming services, though we're planning to review it for consideration later this year. But I've been a Mubi subscriber for a while, and it's probably the best streaming service you've never heard of. Especially for cinephiles who love indie, arthouse and foreign films. So, for those who aren't familiar, let's dive into what "Twin Peaks" is about, why you need to watch it, and why Mubi is worth signing up for to stream the iconic series right now. "Twin Peaks" and its follow-up, "Twin Peaks: A Limited Series Event," are, for the most part, about the investigation of the murder of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). The shows are set in the fictional Pacific Northwest town of Twin Peaks, and stars Kyle MacLachlan as FBI special agent Dale Cooper, who is tasked with investigating the local teen's untimely demise. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It's tough to pin down a genre to define this show. It's a mystery show, to be sure, but there are elements of soap opera campiness and melodrama as well as plenty of surrealist horror. Because the series was created by and directed by David Lynch, it often takes on a more cinematic presentation than the typical TV show. The pilot was a two-hour-long feature film. Despite these quirks, or (more accurately) because of them, the show was a massive critical success. Season 1 earned 14 Emmy nominations and season 2 earned four more, while also winning several Golden Globes. "Twin Peaks: A Limited Series Event" was similarly critically successful, earning nine Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe nomination for MacLachlan's reprisal as Dale Cooper. It's safe to say that, unless you've already seen "Twin Peaks," you've never seen a show like "Twin Peaks." As of today, you can stream all eight episodes of "Twin Peaks" season 1 on Mubi, including the feature-length pilot. You can also stream all 22 episodes of season 2 and all 18 episodes of "Twin Peaks: A Limited Series Event," which is set 25 years after the events of the season 2 finale. Mubi is a great way to stream some lesser-known movies. Specializing in indie, arthouse and foreign films, it has a deep library that is a cinephile's dream. And now, it even has "Twin Peaks"! You can get Mubi for $14.99 or get Mubi Go in select cities for just $5 more, which gives you a curated movie ticket to a local cinema every single week. Sign up now for a seven-day free trial! Now, it's important to note that you cannot watch the prequel movie, "Fire Walk With Me," on Mubi. You need to head to Max for that. Nor can you watch the deleted scenes compilation film "Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces." You'll need to head to The Criterion Channel — another underrated streaming service for cinephiles — to watch that movie. But beyond the three seasons of "Twin Peaks," there are a lot of great movies to watch on Mubi. We've even covered a few of them here at Tom's Guide. Last year's hit body horror movie "The Substance" is available to stream on Mubi right now, as is the hilarious documentary "Grand Theft Hamlet," which covers the attempt to recreate Shakespeare's "Hamlet" entirely within the game "Grand Theft Auto Online." So head over to Mubi and get yourself a membership now. It comes with a seven-day free trial in case you decide it's not for you or you binge through the entire 48-episode run of "Twin Peaks" in a week and decide you don't need more than that. Stream "Twin Peaks" and "Twin Peaks: A Limited Series Event" on Mubi Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:

Oh, and Dua is apparently "excited to see where things go," and while "it's too soon to see if there's any long-term potential between Dua and Callum, they're definitely into each other." Dua and Callum are spotted kissing and looking fully obsessed with each other. Entertainment Tonight asks Callum if he'll be going to the Grammys and he quips, "No, I'm not a musician." (LOL) The person interviewing him then adds, "You've been dancing the night away with a certain Grammy Award winner," and Callum says, "I don't know about that." Dua and Callum are spotted kissing in Beverly Hills! Callum joins Dua for a Grammys after-party after she performs her new song. Dua and Callum are spotted hand in hand at the BAFTAs after-party.

That second pic has me feeling a certain type of way. May I please direct your attention to slides two and 15, tyvm. Dua posts a Christmas Eve IG carousel that shows what kiiiiinda looks like an engagement ring on her left ring finger, and ofc, fans freak out. Soon after, a source for The Sun claims the couple is "engaged and couldn't be happier," adding, "Callum is such a solid support for Dua and they make a wonderful couple. Their family and friends are so happy." This loved-up pic hits Dua's IG grid—but still, no engagement confirmation. Aaaand more shots of the maybe-engagement ring. Though Dua and Callum *still* haven't confirmed those engagement rumors, fans do spot the pair dancing at the Eiffel Tower during Paris Fashion Week, and the video is just 🥹. An onlooker later tells the Daily Mail, "They looked so happy. They were laughing and hugging and then broke into some romantic dancing. They had their arms around one another's necks and looked like they were also singing to each other." The Daily Mail also obtains some pics of the pair, including one in which Dua is taking a selfie of herself and Callum while showing off her diamond sparkler (!!!!). We need answers, you two!

Marshall, plus these 3 guest stars Ramón Rodriguez on the power of vulnerability and grit in 'Will Trent': 'that combination of toughness and tenderness really drew me in' 'Industry' star Sagar Radia on his standout episode, 'White Mischief,' and if Rishi knows about 'Uncut Gems' Cristin Milioti as Sofia Gigante (née Falcone) is being submitted for Best Movie/Limited Series Actress. She won the Critics Choice Award for this role, but lost at the Golden Globes to Jodie Foster (True Detective: Night Country) and at the SAG Awards to Jessica Gunning (Baby Reindeer). Milioti could receive her first two career Emmy noms this year, for The Penguin in the lead race and Black Mirror 's "USS Callister: Into Infinity" in the supporting contest.
