The 'Twin Peaks' Revival Cast List Has 217 Names And It's Insane
Showtime has released the full cast list of its Twin Peaks series and it's... something.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, principal photography has wrapped on the series, which takes place 25 years after the events of the original Twin Peaks series. On Monday, the network released all 217 names of the cast members that are set to appear in the show. There are plenty of familiar names in the list, including original cast members and actors from the rest of the Lynch oeuvre, including David Duchovny, Laura Dern, Naomi Watts, and David Lynch himself.
As for the rest of the cast... where to even begin? Trent Reznor, Eddie Vedder, Ashley Judd, and Amanda Seyfried are among the many that are now a part of the Twin Peaks canon. Oh, and did we mention Michael Cera? Michael Cera!
See the rest of the cast list for yourself (names marked with an asterisk are returning Twin Peaks cast members from the original series):

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
