Although this news won't come as a surprise, it's still a disappointment: Showtime's "Twin Peaks" revival won't debut until 2017.

TVLine reports CBS Corp. CEO Les Moonves confirmed the delay this afternoon during an earnings call.

"Twin Peaks" co-creator Mark Frost signaled as far back as July that the limited series wouldn't bow until 2017, but Showtime President David Nevins held out hope for a 2016 premiere, saying in August, "It’s ultimately going to be in [series co-creators David Lynch and Mark Frost’s] control. They’re going to shoot the whole thing and then they’ll start posting. Bottom line is, I’ll take it when they’re ready with it … but I’m hoping sooner rather than later.”

The series, which began production in September, will be shot as a movie, with Lynch then editing it into individual episodes (it was announced for nine, but Showtime anticipates there will be more).
