But in typically eccentric Lynch fashion, the customary US studio press release was replaced with an alphabetised list of 217 names.

Included on the list is Australian actor Eamon Farren, who is making his US debut in the series.

Farren is known for roles in the film Red Dog and the ABC telemovie Carlotta.

He also appeared in the HBO miniseries The Pacific, which was filmed in Queensland and Victoria.

The cast list includes two other well known Australian actors: Gia Carides and Naomi Watts.

Fans of Twin Peaks will be poring over the list, hoping to confirm the return of key favourites from the show's past.

The list includes several familiar faces, including Kyle MacLachlan, who played Special Agent Dale Cooper, and Sheryl Lee, who played the town's doomed beauty queen, Laura Palmer.

Sherilyn Fenn, who played rebellious schoolgirl Audrey Horne, Peggy Lipton, who played Double R Diner owner Norma Jennings and Miguel Ferrer, who played FBI agent Albert Rosenfeld are also on the list.

One notable inclusion is David Duchovny, who played transgender DEA agent Denise (formerly Dennis) Bryson.

Since the announcement of the reboot of the series, there has been a great deal of fan buzz around whether or not Duchovny would reprise the role.

The cast list includes Julee Cruise, who sang the show's original theme and appeared in an episode as a roadhouse singer, as well as Ashley Judd, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ethan Suplee and Amanda Seyfried.

The cast list also includes Lynch himself.

Lynch's reboot of Twin Peaks picks up the story of the iconic 90s mystery drama 25 years later.

It is based on a throwaway line in one of the original series episodes in which murdered schoolgirl Laura Palmer, appearing in a dream sequence, says that she will return in 25 years.

The original series - which was marketed with a massive Who Killed Laura Palmer? campaign - was a critical triumph, though it lasted just two years on television.
