David Lynch was working on new show before his death, says Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos said the proposed show was ‘filled with mystery and risks’.
Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has revealed he commissioned a limited series from David Lynch prior to the cult filmmaker’s death.
I reached out to David and asked for a meeting and at his dining room table we agreed to a bulk buy of Eraserhead and for Netflix to produce a DVD of all of his visionary short films.
“In my earliest days at Netflix, when we were only mailing DVDs around the United States - I had the most amazing experience meeting one of my all time favorite film makers in his home,” wrote Sarandos.
The Netflix CEO went on to say that he met Lynch again on a more recent occasion, when the filmmaker proposed making a new television series for the streaming service.
