Too bad Ontkean won’t be in it, that was a great buddy cop pairing.
I heard Joan Chen (on account of her character being dead, spoiler alert, I never finished season 2) and Piper Laurie (who wants to be in it) won’t be in it either.
Chen’s character also seemed to be taken over by “Bob”, at least it looked that way when she committed suicide after murdering her ex. Her soul then seemed to be sucked into that nightstand table knob. Creepy as hell. Never followed up, either.
I didn’t know Piper Laurie wasn’t in the new season, though her character would now be widowed since the actor that played her husband, Jack Nance, died not long after the series ended. We’ll find out if they killed her off.
Of course, it appears that some of the dead characters will reappear (notably Ray Wise), but in what capacity, I don’t know. They never did explain in the film sequel how Agent Cooper got out of the Black Lodge, leaving it in the 2nd season finale that he was newly possessed by Bob. Alas, the actor (who wasn’t really an actor) who played Bob also died not long after the show ended (AIDS).
