It's hardly a surprise that MacLaughlin is returning for the limited series, but it's certainly a relief. Showtime president David Nevins assured the world that [MacLaughlin will] be leading the show, and there'll be more cast coming on as we roll through." According to TVLine MacLaughlin noted that he is "very excited to return to the strange and wonderful world of Twin Peaks," and also added a "may the forest be with you."

MacLaughlin's spent the years since Twin Peaks wrapped making memorable appearances/stints on an impressive number of TV shows, from Sex and the City and Desperate Housewives (full castmember status) to How I Met Your Mother, Portlandia, The Good Wife, and (most recently) Agents Of SHIELD. He's never left the heart of fans of the '90-'91 cult series, though.
