Twin Peaks fans shouldn't give up hope of the show returning.

Although the mind-bending series may have left Agent Cooper and Laura Palmer (or was it Richard and Carrie?!) in a deeply hopeless place in the season three finale, Kyle MacLachlan remains optimistic about the show's future.

Given the warm reception to the revival and Twin Peaks' enduring fanbase, MacLachlan has suggested to Deadline that it's entirely possible creators Mark Frost and David Lynch will make more some day.

"I think those kinds of things are certainly possible," he said of a fourth season. "I think we're all just waiting on David to have the spark of an idea to go forward. It'd be a great journey. I would drop everything to do that."

MacLachlan doesn't have any sense of when a fourth season of Twin Peaks could happen, unfortunately. At the TCA press tour earlier this year, the actor said it could be months or years before he gets the call to play Agent Cooper again.

"That could be 10 minutes, it could be 10 years. I don't know," he admitted. "If we do decide to go again I would be absolutely excited to revisit doing it again. Those characters are always fascinating."

David Lynch has consistently downplayed the likelihood of making more Twin Peaks anytime soon, while leaving the door open to an eventual continuation by teasing that there's always "some room to dream".

Twin Peaks: The Return aired on Showtime in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK.
