Wisteria (David Lynch / Netflix) (1 Viewer)

...Hell yes:

David Lynch has been an entertaining pandemic fixture for the past few months, posting "What's David Up To?" videos and weather reports on his YouTube page.

But now, the famously experimental auteur is reportedly working on a new project for Netflix with the working title Wisteria, according to Welcome To Twin Peaks.

According to the fan site, the new series is written and directed by Lynch, and frequent collaborator Sabrina S. Sutherland is set to produce. Industry trade Production Weekly, meanwhile, notes that the project has a start date of May 2021.

Looks like the new title of the show is actually going to be "Unrecorded Night" -- could an admin change the thread-title to reflect this? (Thanks!)

“Unrecorded Night” Likely Title Of David Lynch's New Netflix

David Lynch is expected to start recording 13 'Unrecorded Night' episodes in May 2021.

Netflix might no longer be involved, which sucks, just because I know the funding would have been there, and that everyone and their mom could have watched it at the same time, as opposed to The Return. I'm betting Lynch was unwilling to allow his show to have all episodes available at once. He wasn't happy with Showtime and Hulu making the first four Twin Peaks season three episodes available for streaming on premiere-night; the same with having the last two episodes air together on the same night.

But, I get that reasoning. By going a weekly route, it allows audiences to really absorb one episode at a time. Once an episode finishes, they can start to reflect on what they had just watched. Binge-watching doesn't necessarily allow that.

(...Oh, yeah, several crew have popped up on IMDB, and all of them worked on Twin Peaks: The Return. Not that that means a whole lot; Lynch likes working with his usuals. But you know, it COULD mean something.)

I think week by week is best for a work like this. If it comes out all at once, I know I won’t have the discipline to wait, and I also know one of the great joys of Twin Peaks was having a week to sit with each episode and think about what it was trying to do and how it was making me feel. Figuring out plot points took a backseat to allowing the mood of the piece to wash over me, and I think that’s vital with Lynch. Otherwise, if it had been watched all at once, my brain might have been compelled to reduce it down to a log line that wouldn’t do justice to the work.

I did like that they premiered four at once and two at the end. After waiting so many years, I think that was the right call.

Netflix has done shows on the week to week model and they tend to offer both more money and more freedom than other outlets, so I certainly see an advantage to working there. I just can’t imagine anyone else putting up as much money with as relatively few strings as they will. I doubt Showtime would; The Return was brilliant but it underperformed for them relative to what they spent.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if it was a "Desperate Housewives" spinoff?

Hmmmm....

The announcement was for more Weather Reports.

This might be shooting in May:

Filming this May, so what do we think? 2023 release?

I was just happy thinking that it was going to be filming soon and I didn't really think about when it would be finished. Man, way to bring me down with your reasonable expectation.

I’ve wanted new Lynch since 30 seconds after Part 18 of The Return finished airing - next week would still be an eternity!

I think I’d really enjoy having him as a neighbor.

I love Lynch and want to see him back at work on a film, or series, or anything on a screen of any size or shape.

I'd love it if one of the boutiques would release a BD (or even DVD) set of On the Air. I have the Japanese LD set, but I need to get a new LD player.
