One poster features Cooper’s face (above), the other has the image of Laura Palmer. Both have the line “It Is Happening Again” at the top of the image. There are also video promos for the posters (below).

The Sheriff welcomes the help of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, who arrived to investigate the killing. As Cooper digs into the mystery, the town’s secrets gradually come to light. The mystery sets up an eerie chain of events that send the residents of Twin Peaks into a dark inspection of their own existence. The revival picks up twenty-five years later and the mysteries of Twin Peaks continues.
