David Lynch’s family will release scripts for an unrealised project by the late director called Unrecorded Night, according to a new post by the late director’s daughter.
The beloved late director’s death was announced by his family on social media last year on January 16 2025. Lynch, who is celebrated for seminal films like Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet and the iconic TV series Twin Peaks, revealed his emphysema diagnosis last year, and in November, shared that he required supplemental oxygen to walk.
Lynch had pitched a new series called Unrecorded Night to Netflix according to previous reports. As per Far Out magazine, the show was reportedly approved with rumours that Laura Dern and Naomi Watts could star in the show. However, worked on the project stalled during the Covid-19 pandemic and never resumed.
On Reddit, Lynch’s daughter, Jennifer, replied to a fan who asked if they could see the script for the unreleased show online. In response, Jennifer said the script could be published posthumously.
In the post, Jennifer wrote: “Unrecorded Night scripts are likely to be published by myself and my siblings as a way to offer what could not be realised, to those who would have loved it.”
She continued: “I beg everyone to wait for this release and not hunt down what will likely be unauthorised versions and would soil the beautiful work Dad created.
“Like many millions of people, we are great fans of our father’s work, and wish to see it shared and celebrated in every good way. We know there is a wanting, and we feel the need to fulfil Dad’s gifts as best as possible.”
