The Twin Peaks revival season will premiere with a two-hour special on May 21, with the third and fourth episodes to be made available online immediately after the season premiere.

The season will consist of 18 episodes in total, with the network’s CEO, David Nevins, describing it as “the pure heroin version of David Lynch”.

Naomi Watts, Tom Sizemore, Laura Dern, Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Robert Knepper and Balthazar Getty have all been cast in the revival series. They join original cast members including Kyle MacLachlan, James Marshall, Sherilyn Fenn and Sheryl Lee.

Irish actress Amy Shiels, who previously starred in RTE's Love/Hate, will also join the cast in the new season.
