Everything you need to know about the 'Twin Peaks' revival

Lynch had his work cut out for him.

“I think it took me six hours and a few cups of coffee to read, but it was wonderful,” MacLachlan told Entertainment Weekly of the first time he read the script.

"[It was] both the same and different," Lynch said at TCA 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."

EW posted some first-look images from the revival, which showed many of the actors who are reprising their roles.

In addition to Duchovny, they include Mädchen Amick and Peggy Lipton as Double R Diner waitress Shelly Johnson and owner Norma Jennings, respectively; the late Miguel Ferrer as lab tech Albert Rosenfield; Kimmy Robertson as Twin Peaks Sheriff's Department receptionist Lucy; Harry Goaz as Deputy Andy; and Michael Horse as Deputy Hawk.

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 big stars — 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 during TCA. "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 at TCA 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 told reporters at TCA of "Fire Walk with Me," "and very much important for [the revival]."

"'Twin Peaks' is a cosmology," Showtime President and CEO David Nevins told EW. "What I think is satisfying about the new version is that it’s a deeper exploration of that stuff. What is the Red Room? How does the Red Room work? Where is Agent Cooper? Can he make it back?"
