Though David Lynch and co-creator Mark Frost are doing their best to keep any details under strict secrecy, some nuggets of information have been sneaking out. We know now, for instance, that Jennifer Jason Leigh is among the new Twin Peaks series’ cast.
With the Peaks returning to our screens, we’ve all naturally been eager to learn what might be happening in the story this time, but thus far Lynch and co. have been able to wreath that in mystery. What we do is know that Kyle MacLachlan is confirmed as returning as Agent Dale Cooper, while Ray Wise, Sheryl Lee and Sherilyn Fenn are all apparently returning, and Amanda Seyfried, Robert Knepper and Balthazar Getty are among the new additions. According to Deadline, Lynch is still on the hunt for others to sign on, including talking with Naomi Watts, who got her big break with his Mulholland Drive.
Lynch and Frost are shooting the series now in Washington state, with 18 episodes planned for the Showtime cable network at some point in 2017. Given the show’s history, you might have to follow a treasure map to find which actual day it will arrive.
Before then, Leigh will be seen holding her own against the rest of the ensemble in Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, which is out here on January 8.
