Everything we know about Showtime's 'Twin Peaks' revival

"[It was] both the same and different," Lynch said of returning to Washington. "If you go back 25 years in any town and revisit it again, it's that way. It's many things remain the same. But also, you feel a change."

In April, Showtime released a list of more than 200 cast members for its "Twin Peaks" revival. Among them are dozens of new characters that will be introduced. They'll be played by both stars – such as Michael Cera, Jim Belushi, Laura Dern, Trent Reznor, Amanda Seyfried, Balthazar Getty, Eddie Vedder, among many others – and newcomers.

"You try to get the right person for the part. That's the rule," Lynch said of the casting. "And so you meet people, you see pictures of people, you see videos of people, and you get a sense by looking at them and hearing them that they are right or wrong for this particular part, and that's always the way it is."

When asked about further seasons of "Twin Peaks," Lynch answered, "Before I said I wasn't going to revisit it, and I did. You never say no. But right now there's no plans for anything more."

"I could say it's the story of Laura Palmer's last seven days," Lynch said of "Fire Walk with Me," "and very much important for [the revival]."
