First picture of David Duchovny in 'Twin Peaks'

Twin Peaks is back, in the form of limited event series created by David Lynch and Mark Frost for Showtime that’ll premiere on May 21. You can be sure it’ll be something unusual. “It’s a feature film in 18 parts,” Lynch tells Entertainment Weekly in this week’s cover story about the revival. The show brings back MacLachlan and dozens of the original cast, plus dozens more, including David Duchovny.

Twin Peaks itself ventured back to TV after 25 years in limbo, from the first brainstorming conversations between Frost and Lynch to the 142-day shoot in various cities using Lynch’s fave new tool, digital cameras. 

If this picture takes you by surprise, then you've clearly never met Denise Bryson. Rectify that mistake right now by watching Duchovny's breakout guest stint in the second season of Twin Peaks.
