A Highly Anticipated Netflix Series Will Finally Get Released (Just Not How You Think)

by

The film world mourned the loss of David Lynch, the director of iconic films like Blue Velvet and Eraserhead, who passed away on January 16, 2025. For decades, Lynch created a remarkably original body of work, impacting both movies and television. His groundbreaking 1990s series, Twin Peaks, co-created with Mark Frost, revolutionized the small screen. He significantly shaped pop culture, and his influence continues to be felt today.

David Lynch’s passing left some of his projects unfinished, including ones fans knew about and potential future seasons of shows like Twin Peaks that he hadn’t even publicly discussed yet. One project, a Netflix series called Unrecorded Night, had been the subject of rumors for years, but wasn’t officially confirmed until after his death. Now, fans will have a chance to experience this unmade series through the official release of its scripts.

David Lynch’s Unmade Netflix Project May Publish Scripts for Fans

Shortly after David Lynch passed away, it was revealed he had written and planned to direct all thirteen episodes of a Netflix series called Unrecorded Nights. Production even started, with location scouting and discussions with his usual team, but the project was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Recently, Lynch’s daughter, Jennifer Lynch, shared on Reddit that the scripts for the series will probably be released for fans to read.

David Lynch and his siblings plan to release the scripts for his unfinished film, Unrecorded Night, as a way to share the project with fans. He’s asking people to wait for their official release instead of seeking out potentially low-quality, unauthorized versions, ensuring his father’s work is presented respectfully. As devoted fans themselves, they want to honor and celebrate his legacy properly and fulfill his artistic vision as best they can.

Jennifer Lynch shared more information about her planned series, Unrecorded Night, revealing that frequent David Lynch collaborators such as Kyle MacLachlan, Laura Dern, and Naomi Watts were probably going to be involved. Cinematographer Peter Deming, who previously worked with David Lynch on films like Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive, hinted that the series would have taken place in Los Angeles and blended the worlds of filmmaking and classic Hollywood. He explained the project was originally written as a very long, 550-page screenplay, and described it as a mystery – but one distinctly different from Twin Peaks.

Like many creative filmmakers such as Guillermo del Toro and Sam Raimi, David Lynch often discussed projects he never completed. There’s even a Wikipedia page dedicated to these unrealized ideas, dating back to the 1970s. Fans are particularly excited about the possibility of finally seeing ‘Unrecorded Night,’ as it was one of the last projects Lynch worked on before he passed away, and there’s now hope it will be released.
