Naomi Watts, who last worked with David Lynch a decade ago, is reuniting with the director on his Twin Peaks revival for Showtime.
The casting was first reported by Deadline, which said that Tom Sizemore is joining as well. Lynch will also be seen in front of the camera as FBI Regional Bureau Chief Gordon Cole, a role he played in the original Twin Peaks series.
In addition to Watts and Sizemore, Lynch and co-creator Mark Frost have recruited other big stars to join the Twin Peaks universe. Jennifer Jason Leigh, Amanda Seyfried and Laura Dern all reportedly have parts in the series.
Original star Kyle MacLachlan is definitely coming back, while Sherilyn Fenn, Miquel Ferrer and Sheryl Lee are all expected to be back.
Showtime confirmed on Jan. 13 that the show will return in early 2017. The show originally ran for only two seasons, from 1990 to 1991, on ABC. Lynch also directed the follow-up film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
Watts earned her breakthrough role in Lynch’s 2001 drama Mulholland Drive. She also worked with Lynch on 2006’s Inland Empire. Watts is a two-time Oscar nominee, earning her most recent nomination for The Impossible. She’s currently working on The Book of Henry with director Colin Trevorrow.
