With the passing of the director David Lynch Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has revealed what that David Lynch Netflix series would have been. He revealed that Lynch had been in contact with the streamer to direct a limited series. At the time the production was prevented from beginning due to covid 19 and the worldwide lockdown and when that was eventually lifted Lynch’s illness ( Emphysema) meant that it was highly unlikely to happen as it is an illness that leaves you gasping for breath just by walking a few steps even though Lynch said he would direct it from his bed via radio.
“He came into Netflix to pitch a limited series which we jumped at,” Sarandos wrote. “It was a David Lynch production, so filled with mystery and risks but we wanted to go on this creative ride with this genius. First COVID, then some health uncertainties lead to this project never being produced but we made it clear that as soon as he was able, we were all in.”
November 2020 saw the first hint about the project with the series initially called ‘Wisteria’ but was later revealed to be a code name given to the project by Netflix with the real name of the project actually being titled, “Unrecorded Night.” Lynch had planned to write and direct 13 episodes of the series, with his “Lost Highway” and “Mulholland Drive” cinematographer Peter Deming.
Deming when asked about the delay in the project after covid said that he was “assuming it will come back to life at some point.” In May 2024, Lynch’s longtime producer Sabrina Sutherland shared in a Q&A that “there’s always a chance” Lynch could return to the limited series, but he had been “enjoying his artwork and music endeavors.”
