A cast list has been revealed and it includes Michael Cera, Eddie Vedder, Jim Belushi, Robert Forster, David Duchovny, Tim Roth, Matthew Lillard, Josh McDermitt and Trent Reznor (yes, that Trent Reznor). Showtime released a full list of 217 cast members, as you can see on Entertainment Weekly, and it seriously looks like a bunch of random celebrities were just picked out of a hat. All of these actors join Kyle McLachlan, Naomi Watts, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Amanda Seyfried. Twin Peaks is expected to air in 2017.
