Part2, the producer of\u00a0CNN\u2019s\u00a0<em>This is Life with Lisa Ling<\/em> and Showtime&#8217;s <em>Dark Net<\/em>, will work with\u00a0Metabook Films, Metabook&#8217;s film and TV arm, on the docuseries, which is being pitched to cable networks and streaming platforms. The book explores the story behind the real-life murder of a young woman from Sand Lake, New York, where\u00a0<em>Twin Peaks<\/em>\u00a0co-creator Mark\u00a0Frost\u2019s\u00a0grandmother lived. The mystery around the young woman&#8217;s death inspired Frost to create the character of Laura Palmer.\u00a0Frost will also write the foreword to the book. Bushman and Givens will executive produce the docuseries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is one of those stories that you can just see and feel\u00a0the second you hear about it,&#8221; said David Shadrack Smith, the president of Part2 Pictures. &#8220;It has all the texture and twists of\u00a0<em>Twin Peaks<\/em>\u00a0but has the beauty of being true crime with a current day investigation unfolding alongside the events of the past. We\u2019re excited to take a multiplatform approach to it with Metabook\u00a0and create something that lives across diverse media.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is such provocative subject matter that will appeal not only to\u00a0<em>Twin Peaks<\/em>\u00a0fans, but also to people who love true crime,&#8221; said Metabook creator Benjamin Alfonsi.\u00a0&#8220;With Part2&#8217;s proven track record of producing riveting documentary\u00a0entertainment for the past decade, we&#8217;re thrilled to be working together on\u00a0what we want to make a must-see television event.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part2 Pictures has optioned the rights to develop the upcoming true-crime title\u00a0Blonde, Beautiful and Dead: The Murder Mystery That Inspired Twin Peaks into a docuseries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":11883,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[3279,3280,3281,3282],"class_list":["post-11882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-beautiful-and-dead-the-murder-mystery-that-inspired-twin-peaks","tag-blonde","tag-metabook","tag-part2-pictures","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Twin Peaks Origin Story Optioned by Part2 - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/twin-peaks-origin-story-optioned-by-part2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Twin Peaks Origin Story Optioned by Part2 - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Part2 Pictures has optioned the rights to develop the upcoming true-crime title\u00a0Blonde, Beautiful and Dead: The Murder Mystery That Inspired Twin Peaks into a docuseries.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/twin-peaks-origin-story-optioned-by-part2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-11-20T16:55:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-11-20T17:31:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/David-Shadrack-Smith-1118.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"591\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/twin-peaks-origin-story-optioned-by-part2\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/twin-peaks-origin-story-optioned-by-part2\/\",\"name\":\"Twin Peaks Origin Story Optioned by Part2 - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2018-11-20T16:55:22+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2018-11-20T17:31:52+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/twin-peaks-origin-story-optioned-by-part2\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/twin-peaks-origin-story-optioned-by-part2\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/twin-peaks-origin-story-optioned-by-part2\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Twin Peaks Origin Story Optioned by Part2\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
