In the series finale of Twin Peaks, Laura Palmer told Agent Dale Cooper she'd see him again in 25 years, and now it seems she'll be making good on her promise.





Showtime announced Monday the return of David Lynch and Mark Frost's cult classic TV show Twin Peaks for a limited series of nine episodes.





So far, the show's creators are tight-lipped about who from the original cast will be back, but promise a mix of old and new faces. Here's what the stars have been up to since the show went off their air in 1991.









Kyle MacLachlan (Special Agent Dale Cooper)





Kyle MacLachlan played Special Agent Dale Cooper, the FBI agent and cherry pie enthusiast who came to Twin Peaks to investigate the death of Laura Palmer.

Since then, she's mostly played bit parts on a variety of TV shows and even played two different characters on Gilmore Girls because the show’s creator was such a fan of her work. From 2009-2013, she maintained a personal blog titled Postcards from the Ledge. More recently, she's been on Ray Donovan.

RIP

Trivia: While Silva was working on fixing up the set for the character Laura Palmer's bedroom in the pilot episode for Twin Peaks, Lynch decided that Silva should be Bob after accidentally filming him in a reflection in a mirror which this long-haired, prematurely gray man gave Lynch himself a jolt because of his sudden frightening appearance.

Jack Nance (Pete)





Nance died on December 30, 1996 at age 53 under mysterious circumstances. Apparently, he died of an internal head injury the morning after getting into a physical brawl at a donut shop with some rowdy patrons.

Don Davis (Major Briggs)





(August 4, 1942 – June 29, 2008)
