Television's latest reboot craze has brought us a lot of nostalgia we never really expected to see in 2017. In the last week alone, we gotten more details on the upcoming Roseanne revival and Will & Grace 's big return. While those shows are beloved '90s comedies, we're also getting some much weirder nostalgia from the decade in the form of Showtime's Twin Peaks revival.
The series will return on Sunday, May 21, almost exactly 25 years after it was canceled by ABC in 1991. The original Twin Peaks followed the aftermath of the murder of Laura Palmer in the tiny, titular Washington town. Season 3 will pick up two-and-a-half decades later, with mastermind David Lynch still at the helm.
Although there's tons of secrecy surrounding the mysterious revival, we do know tons of stars have signed to Twin Peaks. Some of them are obvious — like original star Kyle MacLachlan — and some are brand new to the series, and totally not getting the fanfare they deserve. Scroll through the gallery to find out all the famous faces you'll see on Peaks, they'll surprise you almost as much as the identity of Laura Palmer's killer.

Trent Reznor Of Nine Inch Nails
No, you’re not reading this wrong. The guy from Nine Inch Nails really is starring in Twin Peaks as an actor — not a musician.
And he’s not the only one.

Mädchen Amick
Amick’s appearance in Showtime’s Twin Peaks isn’t surprising in the least for anyone who watched the original series, as the actress was a huge part of the show.
But, for anyone who only knows Amick as Betty’s Mum From Riverdale: Surprise — she had a whole life before dragging Jughead and his entire family on the daily.

David Duchovny
Just like Amick, Duchovny actually had a long history with Twin Peaks. Yet, some might believe Fox Mulder's portrayer was literally hatched in an egg on the X-Files set, so, FYI, he was not.
