Kyle MacLachlan has revealed that he has read the scripts for the rebooted Twin Peaks, and promises it will be "amazing".
The actor, who played central character Special Agent Dale Cooper in director and co-creator David Lynch's original series, said that he long "harboured a fantasy" that the cult show would be revived, but never thought it would actually happen.
He told Deadline: "I'd always harboured a fantasy that I might be able to revisit the character in some way - Dale Cooper. I so enjoyed him and... he's just a complex person.
"[But] I didn't know what form that would take. I said, 'I hope it happens', but there was no real campaign on my part to try and get David [Lynch] to do anything.
"So I was completely surprised when David said, 'It looks like we're going to return' - and I was very excited for two reasons. One is the character of Dale Cooper, which is a lot of fun, and the world of Twin Peaks.
"Secondly, the chance to work with David again, because we haven't worked together as actor / director for 25 years roughly. So it's been a while [and] I missed that relationship very much."
He added that he has read a few scripts, saying: "I have read a couple [of scripts] but I can't share anything with you. I can certainly say without hesitation, it's going to be amazing."
The new season of Twin Peaks from Showtime is expected to begin shooting in September or October this year.
