The Spoiler That Ended The Show In Germany
German TV network RTL didn’t have much luck when airing Twin Peaks and its problems started right from the first episode. Executives decided to end the popular cult classic after only 20 episodes.
Ratings quickly plummeted for Twin Peaks after rival network SAT1 revealed to its audience the identity of Laura’s murderer. With no mystery left and a strange plot that couldn’t keep viewers interested, the show was quickly canceled. Ratings weren’t spectacular from the start, probably because the big reveal was made before the TV series even had a chance to air the pilot episode for a German audience.
