Twin Peaks: The Return

We’re officially halfway through Twin Peaks: The Return, but we’re still meeting new characters who could have a major impact on the future of the town of Twin Peaks (or they’re just there for a brief cameo). Last night’s brand new episode “Part 9” introduced us to a few new faces played by some major actors. Jennifer Jason Leigh‘s character Chantal finally returned to the show and Tim Roth was introduced as her husband “Hutch.” Both characters are staunch allies of Dale Cooper’s evil doppelganger. We also got to see pop star (and Baby Driver mama) Sky Ferreira pop up as a troubled soul with a suspicious rash. Her name is Ella and she’s clearly wasting away on drugs (and possibly more).

Twin Peaks has always been the place to see brilliant character actors playing wonderfully eccentric characters. And the new Showtime series is continuing that tradition in a great big way. Last April, it was announced that the new series would boast a cast of 217 characters, many of them brand new to David Lynch‘s television universe.

To help you sort through all the new players, we’ve assembled a gallery of the compelling new characters and crazy cameos that you’ll need to know to make sense of this latest chapter of Twin Peaks — well, as much sense as you can. Check out all this and more in our gallery above. We’ll be updating it with more faces as more episodes air.
