"Really."

Nice. You know you are in David Lynch territory when the VERY first shot of this new teaser is his trademark "headlights on an empty road at night" shot. And I never get sick of seeing it either.

In fact, all of Lynch's trademarks are present in this new short promo for the upcoming TWIN PEAKS revival series on Showtime. Other than his trademark flip of poppy 50s tunes to send us running for our nightlights. Yeah, that aspect is absent. However, we do get our first "in motion" looks at a number of beloved characters.

I won't spoil who they are, but something tells me this is the first of many promos of this nature. It seems they are ramping up to show us glimpses of all the new and old cast; which, judging by the massive cast list below, is going to take forever. And that's fine with me.

Check out the promo below and enjoy!

Here is a rundown on the series via Showtime:

Immediately following the premiere on SHOWTIME, subscribers will have access to the third and fourth parts, exclusively across the SHOWTIME streaming service, SHOWTIME ANYTIME® and SHOWTIME ON DEMAND®. In its second week, TWIN PEAKS will air the third and fourth parts back-to-back on SHOWTIME on May 28, starting at 9 p.m. ET/PT, followed by single parts in subsequent weeks.

Directed entirely by David Lynch, the new SHOWTIME 18-part limited event series picks up 25 years after the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town were stunned when their homecoming queen Laura Palmer was shockingly murdered.

The cast includes Kyle MacLachlan, Sheryl Lee, Sherilyn Fenn, Dana Ashbrook, Madchen Amick, Miguel Ferrer, David Patrick Kelly, Richard Beymer, 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, Catherine E. Coulson, 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, Jessica Szohr, and Lynch himself.

TWIN PEAKS is written and executive produced by David Lynch and Mark Frost. Lynch will direct all 18 episodes of the new series, which debuts with a two-part premiere on Sunday, May 21 at 9 p.m.
