After four-plus decades on screen, Laura Dern is hitting a new stride by playing a series of unexpected roles—and 2017 may be her most high-profile year yet. She was praised for her turn in McDonald’s biopic The Founder, and is receiving early raves for her performance as a headstrong mother who verbally spars with Reese Witherspoon in the HBO miniseries Big Little Lies (premiering February 19). In the coming months, the two-time Oscar nominee will also appear in Star Wars: Episode VIII—The Last Jedi and Showtime’s revival of the cult 1990s TV series Twin Peaks. Specific details about both roles have been kept under wraps—but Dern promises that David Lynch’s murder mystery reboot deserves your attention when it debuts on May 21.

“People have to tune in, because I am just so excited about it,” Dern, 49, teased to Vanity Fair at the Big Little Lies premiere in Hollywood Tuesday night. “It’s brave and fiery and deep, poignant and hilarious.”

Lynch, the famed filmmaker who created the original ABC series, which centered on the investigation into the death of a homecoming queen in a small lumber town in Washington, returns to direct the revival. Helming the Showtime series has also ended the auteur’s five-year hiatus from directing—another reason why Dern urges fans to see the show.

“You must always watch when David Lynch makes anything,” gushed Dern, who has collaborated with him on four projects now. “I believe it’s what keeps art going. It should be a prerequisite.”
