Twin Peaks fans that are eagerly awaiting the revival series from Showtime will be alternately delighted and frustrated by the newest teaser for the show. The frustration will come from the fact that the new teaser once more doesn't show a scrap of footage, nor does it give a more concrete date as to when we're actually going to see it.
However, the teaser does herald the return of David Lynch onscreen, because he's in character as the hearing-impaired FBI Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole, a role he originated in the second season of the show. And Twin Peaks certainly isn't losing its iconic weirdness, because literally the entire teaser is just him chowing down on a donut. I'm not kidding. Check it out below!
Twin Peaks will return on Showtime in 2017 in a release that CEO David Nevins calls "unconventional," though we don't have exact details yet.
Returning cast members will include:
Kyle MacLachlan, Sheryl Lee, Sherilyn Fenn, Dana Ashbrook, Madchen Amick, Miguel Ferrer, David Patrick Kelly, Richard Beymer, and Lynch himself. Possibly joining that list are Lynch's Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost, Frost's father Warren Frost, Ray Wise, Grace Zabriskie, Peggy Lipton, Everett McGill, Wendy Robie, James Marshall, Al Strobel, Kimmy Robertson, Harry Goaz, Charlotte Stewart, Gary Hershberger, Jan D'Arcy, Harry Dean Stanton, and maybe Catherine E. Coulson, who may have filmed some scenes before she passed away last September.
New cast members to be featured are:
Amanda Seyfried, Peter Sarsgaard, Balthazar Getty, Robert Knepper, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bailey Chase, Laura Dern, Robert Forster, Naomi Watts, Tom Sizemore, Grant Goodeve, Larry Clarke, Caleb Landry Jones, James Belushi, Ashley Judd, Michael Cera, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Ernie Hudson, Derek Mears and Trent Reznor.
