MacLachlan appeared at Showtime's presentation at the Television Critics Association winter press tour, according to TV Line. "I'm very excited to return to the strange and wonderful world of Twin Peaks," the actor said, then added, jokingly, "May the forest be with you."

So what can we expect from the returning series? Well, according to Showtime chief David Nevins, Frost and Lynch could give us something that fans have been waiting for for over two decades: closure!

"They've been very specific in promising closure...and from what I've seen, I think this is going to live up to expectations and then some," he said this week, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Nevins added that the network will let the creators of the show have full reign of what happens and that he's only involved with "writing checks and leaving them alone."
