Overview

• ‘Unrecorded Night’ was to be a 13-episode mystery series set in Los Angeles and written and directed by David Lynch.
• Peter Deming said the series’ 550-page script took him three sittings to read, and he joined a location scout before production ceased.
• Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said the streamer was “all in” on the limited series until the pandemic and Lynch’s health issues stalled progress.
• The project began under the working title 'Wisteria' and was part of what Deming calls Lynch’s broader 'LA canon' of Hollywood-set works.
• Lynch had intended to pivot from films to longer-form storytelling, viewing Unrecorded Night as an extension of his continuing-story approach.
