Grab your coffee and cherry pie, kids! TVLine is reporting that Amanda Seyfried has just signed on for a televised vacation to the spooky little town of “Twin Peaks.”
Her role is being kept under wraps for now, but the site reports that it will be a pivotal role on the Showtime reboot. Seyfried will appear in multiple episodes, making the “Twin Peaks” appearance her biggest TV gig since “Big Love.”
In an earlier interview Showtime Networks president David Nevins announced that the follow-up series from David Lynch and Mark Frost would be starting this month, with Lynch set to direct all episodes. Apparently he and Frost wrote one long script that will be shot continuously as a movie and later cut into episodes. Originally envisioned as being nine (9) episodes, the series will likely run longer, but the exact number is still in flux and won’t be known until after filming is completed.
Beyond the return of Kyle MacLachlan, Nevins declined to comment on casting other than saying we “should be optimistic that the people you want to be there will be there, in addition to some surprises.”
After rumors that we won’t see the show until 2017, there is now hope that “Twin Peaks” could be ready for 2016. But Lynch has complete creative control over the project so Nevins added, “I’ll take it when it’s ready; I hope that’s sooner rather than later.”
Amen.
