Twin Peaks is one of the most memorable TV series of all time. Created by the late David Lynch, who died earlier this year, Twin Peaks was a hit in both the early ’90s and in 2017 when Showtime revived the groundbreaking series for a third season.
As mentioned, From Z to A is a one-stop shop. You’ll get all 30 episodes of the original two-season run, the aforementioned 1992 prequel film, and the 2017 revival that ran on Showtime for 18 episodes. That’s 48 episodes of superb TV and an awesome feature film in one package.
Season 1 (1990) — 8 Episodes
Season 2 (1990-91) — 22 Episodes
Season 3 (2017) — 18 Episodes
Fire Walk with Me (1992) – Prequel movie
You’ll also get a long list of special features, including 4K versions of the original series Pilot episode and Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series Episode 8. Here’s a look at the highlights:
Twin Peaks: From Z to A Special Features
The Missing Pieces: Fire Walk with Me deleted/alternate scenes (90 minutes)
Behind The Curtain: Making of Footage From Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series
Full-length versions of all Roadhouse Bar music performances
A Talk with Kyle MacLachlan and Sheryl Lee
On the Couch with Kimmy and Harry
4K versions of the Original Series Pilot and Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series Episode 8
Additional special features from previous Twin Peaks home releases
In total, that’s over 20 hours of additional Twin Peaks content. It’s worth noting that the packaging for this Twin Peaks: From Z to A reprinting differs from the original 2019 version. The new edition uses a plastic case rather than the premium fold-out box of the original, and it lacks the collectible art prints. This cost-saving measure probably makes producing the sets easier, which hopefully means this reprint run will remain in print longer. It’s no longer a collector’s item like the original release, but it does offer an affordable way to watch the entire series on Blu-ray.

Criterion’s edition of Fire Walk with Me makes for a nice display piece and includes an exclusive booklet of essays. The actual on-disc content is the same as what you’ll find in From Z to A, but you won’t be able to watch the movie in 4K unless you get Criterion’s upcoming release.
Fire Walk with Me joined The Criterion Collection on standard Blu-ray back in 2017.
$56.63 (was $77)
Twin Peaks: The Television Collection released on Blu-ray in 2019. Up until the launch of the Z to A reprint earlier this year, this 16-disc collection was the default choice for anyone who wanted to own the series in physical format in 1080p resolution. It include the original 30-episode run and the 18-part Limited Event Series.
The Television Collection is missing some of the special features in From Z to A, and it doesn’t have Fire Walk with Me prequel film. But if you pick up one of the Criterion Collection editions of the movie, the omission here isn’t a big deal.
The one thing The Television Collection has on the repackaged version of From Z to A is the box art and packaging. The Television Collection definitely looks better than From Z to A’s oversized plastic case.
$42 (was $51)
Twin Peaks: The Television Collection is also available on DVD in a 17-disc box set that matches the Blu-ray edition. Some fans may prefer to watch the show–or the first two seasons, at the very least–on a CRT TV in 480p resolution. To be clear, we wouldn’t recommend this if you don’t have a TV that plays nice with DVDs, as the picture often looks terrible on modern displays when watching DVDs.
$21.55 (was $40) with coupon
Season 3 also received a Blu-ray reprint in February. The 18-episode Showtime revival–often called The Return or A Limited Event Series–is on sale for $21.55 thanks to a limited-time coupon deal. If you don’t see the coupon on the store page, the price is $30.79.
Along with all of the Showtime episodes, you’ll get a variety of featurettes, a behind-the-scenes photo gallery, and a video of the Twin Peaks Season 3 panel at Comic-Con.
If you buy From Z to A or The Television Collection, there’s really no reason to buy this separately, since all 18 episodes of the Showtime series are included in those box sets. And unlike the Criterion Collection edition of Fire Walk with Me, you’re not getting any fancy packaging, bonus inserts, or higher resolution to justify buying the “same thing” twice.
