The 2025 Cast Reunion Tour: A Conversation with the Stars
One of the most exciting and current developments for the *Twin Peaks* fandom is the announcement and execution of the "Twin Peaks: A Conversation with the Stars" live tour throughout 2025. This event offers a rare chance for fans to connect directly with the actors who shaped the show's unique atmosphere. The tour features several beloved members of the original cast, including Ray Wise (Leland Palmer), Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer), Harry Goaz (Deputy Andy Brennan), Kimmy Robertson (Lucy Moran), and Dana Ashbrook (Bobby Briggs). Executive Producer of *The Return*, Sabrina S. Sutherland, is also a prominent participant, offering behind-the-scenes insights into the 2017 revival. The conversations often revolve around the enduring mystery of the series, the actors' personal experiences working with auteur David Lynch, and the show's impact on their careers. This live format is a direct response to the community's desire for more *Twin Peaks* content, serving as a vital touchpoint for the franchise in the absence of a new season. Dana Ashbrook, who played Bobby Briggs, has been a particularly enthusiastic participant, sharing stories from his character's journey from a troubled youth to a respected Deputy Sheriff.The Current Projects of Twin Peaks’ Biggest Stars
Beyond the reunion tour, the principal actors have been busy with high-profile projects, proving their versatility long after their time in the Pacific Northwest.Kyle MacLachlan’s High-Profile Return to Television
Kyle MacLachlan, whose portrayal of Special Agent Dale Cooper is one of the most iconic in TV history, remains a highly sought-after actor. In 2024, he gained significant attention for his role in the critically acclaimed Amazon Prime Video series *Fallout*. Looking forward to 2025, MacLachlan has several projects lined up, including a role in the upcoming comedy series *Overcompensating*. He is also set to appear in the A24 horror film *Altar*. Furthermore, MacLachlan has expanded his media presence by launching a weekly podcast titled “What Are We Even Doing?,” showcasing his unique and often humorous perspective outside of his acting roles. His career trajectory demonstrates a continuous ability to navigate both mainstream and cult projects, much like his work in *Dune* and *Blue Velvet* prior to *Twin Peaks*.Sherilyn Fenn and Mädchen Amick: Directing and Reunions
The actresses who played the beloved Shelly Johnson and Audrey Horne have also made significant career moves. * Mädchen Amick (Shelly Johnson): After concluding her seven-year run as Alice Cooper on The CW’s *Riverdale* (2017–2023), Amick has transitioned behind the camera. She is currently in post-production for her newest feature film, *Reminisce*, where she served as director. Her work represents a strong move into creative control, building on her long career in television. * Sherilyn Fenn (Audrey Horne): Fenn, known for her striking portrayal of Audrey, has consistently sought out independent and character-driven roles. In a delightful twist for *Twin Peaks* fans, she is set to reunite with her on-screen father, Ray Wise (Leland Palmer), in the upcoming movie *The Good Dark*. This reunion highlights the strong, lasting bonds among the original cast members.The Status of Sheriff Truman
Michael Ontkean, who played the kind-hearted Sheriff Harry S. Truman, remains one of the few core cast members to have largely stepped away from the spotlight. Ontkean, who lives in Hawaii, chose not to return for *Twin Peaks: The Return* in 2017, with the role of the Sheriff going to Robert Forster (Frank Truman). His last major screen appearance was a cameo in the George Clooney film *The Descendants* (2011), and he appears to be enjoying a quiet retirement.Honoring the Departed: The Twin Peaks Family’s Losses
The series, which has spanned over three decades, has inevitably seen the passing of many beloved cast members and creative forces. The year 2025 brought one of the most significant losses to the *Twin Peaks* family: * David Lynch (Co-Creator/Director/Gordon Cole): The world of filmmaking and surrealism suffered a monumental loss with the passing of co-creator and director David Lynch on January 16, 2025, at the age of 78. Lynch, who also played the deaf FBI Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole, was the visionary behind the show's unique aesthetic. The 2025 cast reunion tour has included a special video tribute to the late auteur, emphasizing his profound influence on the cast and crew. The news of his passing, which came amid the planning for the current tour, has added a somber and deeply respectful tone to the cast's public appearances. Other notable members of the *Twin Peaks* cast who have passed away include: * Miguel Ferrer (Agent Albert Rosenfield): Died in 2017, shortly before the premiere of *The Return*. * Catherine E. Coulson (The Log Lady): Died in 2015, but filmed a poignant final scene for *The Return*. * Peggy Lipton (Norma Jennings): Died in 2019. * David Warner (Thomas Eckhardt): Known for his role in the original series, he passed away in 2022. * Angelo Badalamenti: The legendary composer whose haunting music defined the show's atmosphere, passed away in 2022. The ongoing work and reunions of the surviving cast, coupled with the recent tributes to David Lynch, ensure that the spirit of *Twin Peaks*—with its blend of darkness, humor, and deep human connection—will continue to resonate with old and new fans for years to come.Detail Author:
