David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks” is returning to Showtime in just under two months, and we’re not at all surprised that we know virtually nothing about the bizarre series’ revival. But we hope to learn a bit more inside the pages of the March 31st issue of Entertainment Weekly, hitting newsstands soon. The mag will provide an exclusive first look, and oh boy do the covers make us smile.
Three different collector’s covers will be available, and they gather together all your favorite “Twin Peaks” actors. It’s no secret that nearly all the actors/characters from the original series will be returning for the revival, and the EW covers provide a sneak peek at those role reprisals. What do Audrey Horne and Dale Cooper look like 25 years later? Check ’em out below!
“Twin Peaks” will return on Sunday, May 21, at 9/8c, with a two-hour premiere. The new David Lynch-directed episodes are set 25 years after the events of the original series.
All told, the revival will consist of 18 hours. Immediately following the two-hour opener, Episodes 3 and 4 will be available On Demand and via Showtime’s streaming platform.
The surreal drama, which aired on ABC from 1990 to 1991, followed FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (to again be played by Kyle MacLachlan) as he investigated the curious murder of a homecoming queen in the sleepy town of Twin Peaks, Wash.
The revival’s cast list features the return of several actors from the original series (including Sherilyn Fenn, Madchen Amick, Sheryl Lee and David Duchovny) plus a bunch of new faces (including Enlightened‘s Laura Dern, Arrested Development‘s Michael Cera, The Thorn Birds‘ Richard Chamberlain, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and Gossip Girl‘s Jessica Szohr).
