200 cast members confirmed for Twin Peaks revival, with surprising additions

The story of how the Twin Peaks revival came to be will make one heck of a DVD extra documentary one day. We’ve had contract wrangles and rumour after rumour, especially about the cast. Would Kyle MacLachlan be returning? Would Sherilyn Fenn and Sheryl Lee be returning? What about new members of the cast? Naomi Watts? Laura Dern? The rumours have been spat out with fierce frequency, and yet there had been, up until this point, no confirmation. Until today. It’s best to take a sit down and prepare yourself – there are 217 cast members in total and an intriguing array of new additions, including some famous musicians. 

Do Public Enemy, The Break and Beau Séjour herald a new wave in Belgian crime drama?

It seems we can’t move for crime drama from the continent these days, thanks to the likes of BBC4 and Walter Presents to name but two broadcasters, and word reaches us from our friends at scanoir.co.uk that one of the next big things could be coming from Belgium. We’ve already had Cordon, Matrioshki and, perhaps most successfully, Salamander, but now have something that sounds right up our winter-Saturday-night-at-9pm street.
