Twin Peaks 2016 still feels like a mythical dream. It’s hard to think of it like a real thing, an actual television show that, come 2016, we will be watching with our eyes and blogging about with our fingers. But it is real, and coming. Show creators David Lynch and Mark Frost are both returning, and so are the stars of the original—at least some of them. Many characters haven’t been confirmed to be returning yet, including the Twin Peaks season 2 characters, the ones who weren’t created by Lynch. What about them? What about Annie Blackburn and Windom Earle?

Twin Peaks 2016 Characters

Here are the official and semi-official returning Twin Peaks 2016 characters so far: Dale Cooper, Laura Palmer, Bobby Briggs and Audrey Horne. As for the rest—including very major characters like Harry Truman, Leland Palmer, Ben Horne, and Donna Heyward—we haven’t heard a peep yet. And as for the two major season two characters… well, who’s to say if they’ll be in it at all?

Windom Earle and Annie Blackburn

The second season of Twin Peaks introduces two major characters who were developed by Mark Frost, not David Lynch: former FBI agent and Cooper rival Windom Earle, and Annie Blackburn, portrayed by now movie star Heather Graham. Blackburn showed up in the movie, which David Lynch directed, but other than that, the post-Lynch season 2 characters didn’t play much of a role in the movie. And we know Lynch didn’t love what happened after he left. But both Earle and Blackburn played a key role in the plot of the second season, and both of their stories, to varying degrees, ended in cliffhangers. Earle may be dead, but hey, the Black Lodge has weird rules.

So will either return for Twin Peaks 2016, or will the revival pretend that half of season 2 never happened? Ultimately, it’s up to Lynch and Frost. Heather Graham is a reasonably big actor and wouldn’t come cheap, but hey, they’ve got Showtime money to play around with. We’ll just have to keep an eye on their Twitter pages and see. Lynch has said that he won’t say a word about Twin Peaks again until 2016, so that’s the only place we’ll be getting news.

The other question: Do you even want Windom Earle and Annie Blackburn to come back (assuming Lynch can fit them into the story)? I’m genuinely curious, and I’m not sure myself.
