Up until Monday afternoon, it was unclear whether or not Kyle MacLachlan would be returning to "Twin Peaks," the cult drama being resurrected by David Lynch and Minnesota native Mark Frost.

That mystery was solved during Showtime's session at the TV Critics Press tour when MacLachlan made a surprise appearance, bringing network prez David Nevins a "damn good cup of coffee" during the middle of an executive press conference.

"I'm looking forward to my return to the strange and wonderful world of 'Twin Peaks,'" said MacLachlan, who did not take questions. "May the forest be with you."

Nevins said that based on the limited amount of footage he's seen, the series should exceed expectations.

The show, which first aired 25 years ago, is expected to premiere in 2016.
