Why in the world not? Lynch has said repeatedly that "cable TV is the new arthouse," and now he trusts that Showtime will let him do what he wants with a project (which is everything to Lynch--especially after the bad experiences he's had with networks in the past). If/when Lynch gets his next idea for a cinematic work, it's seems to me Showtime would very naturally be the first place he'd go with it!Harry S.

As to another season/iteration of Twin Peaks, who knows. I have a feeling that Lynch and Frost set out to make The Return a fairly closed-ended work. Sure, Lynch has said that he'll "never say never" when it comes to more Twin Peaks, but I don't think they're looking at this like an ongoing series. IF more Twin Peaks happens, it will likely be a ways in the future and be another limited series. It seems 100% clear that they're not interested in turning Twin Peaks back into an ongoing, one-season-a-year machine like it was in Season 1 and 2.
Back to mtwentz's comment: I also think it will be a telling sign if Showtime gives another filmmaker the opportunity to shoot a giant project, with total, carte-blanche creative control like Lynch had here, especially if it's another artistically minded/"difficult" auteur (I'd love to see someone like, say, Charlie Kaufman--whom I know had a pilot rejected by FX--get a deal similar to the one that Lynch got with TPTR). If we see something like that happen, we'll know that Showtime considered TPTR a success.
