Twin Peaks pop-up in London abruptly scrapped as full cult series hits streaming
Fans of Twin Peaks were left disappointed today after Mubi abruptly postponed its much-anticipated dining experience in London – just 24 hours before it was set to open. The pop-up, inspired by the cult show's iconic Double R Diner, was due to take over the New River Café in Stoke Newington on June 18. The event was part of a wider celebration by the boutique streaming platform marking Twin Peaks' 35th anniversary and its long-awaited arrival on Mubi's platform. However, on June 17, Mubi took to social media to announce the sudden postponement: 'We wanted to let you know that unfortunately we will be postponing tomorrow's Twin Peaks diner experience,' the post read. 'We're so sorry for the short notice and hope to bring this back in the future.' No official reason was given for the last-minute change, though it comes amid controversy surrounding a recent investment deal. Earlier this month, Mubi faced backlash for accepting a $100million investment from Sequoia Capital, a firm linked to Israeli defence technology companies. We wanted to let you know that unfortunately we will be postponing tomorrow's TWIN PEAKS diner so sorry for the short notice and hope to bring this back in the future. — MUBI UK & Ireland (@mubiuk) June 17, 2025 Mubi responded to criticism with a statement: 'The beliefs of individual investors do not reflect the views of Mubi,' adding that Sequoia's ties were unrelated to Mubi's own mission and values. It remains unclear whether the Twin Peaks diner experience will be rescheduled. For now, fans will have to settle for indulging in the surreal mystery from the comfort of their own homes. Finally, all three chapters of the acclaimed series are now available to stream in full on Mubi. That includes the original two seasons (1990–1991), the prequel film Fire Walk With Me, and Twin Peaks: The Return, the 2017 sequel helmed once again by David Lynch and co-creator Mark Frost. Starring Kyle MacLachlan, Sheryl Lee, Sherilyn Fenn, and Lara Flynn Boyle, the show follows the investigation into the murder of small-town teen Laura Palmer and the eerie, supernatural forces swirling beneath the surface of the town of Twin Peaks. More Trending Beloved for its genre-defying weirdness, unforgettable characters, and unsettling atmosphere, Twin Peaks became a global phenomenon and remains one of the most influential shows of all time.

A replica of the ‘Twins Peaks' diner is popping up in London
It's the 35th anniversary of David Lynch and Mark Frost's landmark TV brain-bender Twin Peaks and MUBI is celebrating in style. For one day only, the streamer will be turning Stoke Newington's New River Café into a pop-up version of Twin Peaks, Washington State's famous Double R Diner – Agent Dale Cooper's morning stop-off of choice. Expect cherry pie, damn fine coffee, and maybe even a glimpse of the Log Lady passing by. The diner will be drop-in only and open from 11am-7pm on June 18. Alongside the coffee and pie, you'll be able to win limited edition Twin Peaks goodies throughout the day. The pop-up diner is the handiwork of the Mam Sham crew and creative agency Hot Sauce Presents. You'll find it at New River Café, 271 Stoke Newington Church Street. Twin Peaks (1990) and 2017's Twin Peaks: The Return are streaming on MUBI from June 13. from September 27-28.
