We already acknowledge Kyle MacLachlan ’s Agent Dale Cooper was deliver ( having presumably escaped the Black Lodge sometime in the past decades ) but now the rest of the cast from David Lynch ’s Twin Peaks revivalhas been corroborate . And while we still do n’t know who any of the new characters are , at least we know which familiar face will be back .

Deadline has the whole list , which includes big - name newbies such as Monica Bellucci , Michael Cera , Laura Dern , Ashley Judd , Jennifer Jason Leigh , and Naomi Watts . But we ’re more concerned with the returnees who played major roles on the original series . Of those folks , we ’ve noted who they take on on Twin Peaks before ( and perhaps again , though who can say what Lynch will do ? ):
Mädchen Amick : Shelly Johnson . On the original serial publication , Shelly was the young diner waitress with the unfortunate luck of being married to the opprobrious Leo Johnson , truck machine driver and Laura Palmer execution defendant . Eric Da Rae , who play Leo , is n’t on the cast lean ( he was in a tight spot at the remainder of Twin Peaks ’ original run , arachnophobes will recall … ) , so perhaps we ’ll see Shelly and Bobby together at last , since Dana Ashbrook , who spiel Bobby , is on the plaster cast lean . Also back : Gary Hershberger , who played Bobby ’s high - school football game BFF , Mike , and Bobby ’s sometimes partner - in - sleaze , Walter Olkewicz , as the nefarious Jacques Renault .
Phoebe Augustine : Ronette Pulaski . She was with Laura Palmer when Laura was hit , and has a bounteous part in Twin Peaks : Fire Walk With Me than she ever did on the show . And since Sheryl Lee , who play Laura ( and Laura ’s likewise ill - plump out lookalike cousin ) , will be back for Twin Peaks 2.0 , you have to enquire if these two will reunify . Or possibly we ’ll see Laura in the Black Lodge . Or maybe Lee will work yet another lookalike relative . Who knows ? Both of Laura ’s parents — Ray Wise and Grace Zabriskie — counter . inquire what Leland Palmer ’s been up to ?
Richard Beymer : Great northerly hotel owner Benjamin Horne , and father of town harpy , at least in the post - Laura era , Audrey Horne ( yes , Sherilyn Fenn is returning ) . candidly , I thought he was deadened after the whole “ Ben is Donna ’s father ” break and subsequent punchout by the otherwise meek - mannered Doc Hayward ( Warren Frost , he ’s also back ) . infer he exist . Perhaps the head injury will have made him , once again , believe he ’s been re - living the Civil War all these geezerhood . Note : though Jan D’Arcy , who played Donna ’s mother , Sylvia , returns , neither Lara Flynn Boyle nor Moira Kelly ( who played Donna in the motion-picture show ) are back . So what happened to Donna ? Or will a third actress take on the role ? Ben ’s younger bro , Jerry ( David Patrick Kelly ) , is also back .
Catherine Coulson : THE LOG LADY . Coulson passed away in 2015 , but not before film some scenes , hopefully filled with cryptic yet repeatable words of wisdom .
Julee Cruise : The gossamer , whispery temptress is apparently still direct the home band at the Road House . The Giant , Carel Struycken , also pass , but Michael J. Anderson , the Man from Another Place , does not . However , Al Strobel — the One - Armed Man — will be back .
David Duchovny : Denise rejoinder !
Miguel Ferrer : Albert Rosenfield , the FBI ’s techy forensics expert , and my personal preferent Twin Peaks reference of all time . “ Albert ’s path is a strange and difficult one , ” according to Agent Cooper ( duh , we cognise Kyle MacLachlan was back ) ; we ’re just happy it brought him back to Twin Peaks again . David Lynch himself is also on the cast list , presumably playing Albert and Cooper ’s heavy - of - hearing Bos .
Harry Goaz : Deputy Andy Brennan , the Barney Fife of Twin Peaks , is back , along with Michael Horse , who play the apparitional Deputy “ Hawk ” Hill . Plus : Kimmy Robertson , who play ditzy Twin Peaks Sheriff ’s Department secretary , Lucy . But the sheriff himself , Michael Ontkean , does not return .
Peggy Lipton : plainly , there ’s no Twin Peaks without cerise Proto-Indo European , the Double R Diner , and Norma Jennings . Everett McGill , who play Norma ’s longtime love Big Ed , is also back … but so is Wendy Robie , who played his wife . Will this lovemaking triangle still be in effect ? What about those silent drapery runner ?
James Marshall : Laura Palmer ’s stew boy plaything returns , as does Russ Tamblyn as her equally besotted , aging - hippie Commerce Department , Dr. Jacoby .
( Harry Dean Stantonreturns , too . )
Who ’s miss ? Well , besides the names noted above , the big hole in Twin Peaks is going to be the absence seizure of BOB — the distinctively terrific actor who played him , Frank Silva , die in 1995 . Will one of the new cast members fill the void , or will we see BOB brought back via vintage footage from the show ? Or will a new villain emerge ? The owls , if you ’ll remember , are not what they seem .
