Earlier today, Agent Cooper appeared in full character --- at Showtime's panel at the Television Critics Association press tour. MacLachlan joined Showtime president David Nevins onstage, as Nevins announced: "He'll (MacLachlan) be leading the show, and there'll be more cast coming on as we roll through."
"You look like you need a damn fine cup of coffee," MacLachlan said to Nevins.
While Nevins didn't appear to comment on his own caffeine intake, any plot, actors, or directors, he did mention show creators David Lynch and Mark Frost. "I think it's something they've been toying with for a long time. I think in David's mind, 25 years seemed like the magic number."
"I'm very excited to return to the strange world of Twin Peaks. May the forest be with you," MacLachlan told the crowd.
Twins Peaks will begin production in 2015 and will premiere on Showtime sometime in 2016.
