‘Twin Peaks’ Meets ‘X-Files’ in Disney+’s 2-Part Mystery Series Surging the Streaming Charts

Disney+ series *Gravity Falls* is rising again on FlixPatrol’s streaming charts, more than a decade after its original run ended. Its blend of supernatural mystery, comedy and heartfelt storytelling has helped it remain popular with viewers of different ages.

Created by Alex Hirsch, the series follows twins Dipper and Mabel Pines as they spend the summer with their great-uncle Stan in the town of Gravity Falls. Dipper finds a mysterious journal and investigates the town’s strange events, while the show balances self-contained adventures with a wider mystery. Its storytelling recalls *Twin Peaks* and *The X-Files*, and its central relationship draws on Hirsch’s bond with his own twin sister.
