Bob Iger Remembers “Utterly Original” David Lynch 35 Years After ‘Twin Peaks’ Groundbreaking Run On ABC
Disney CEO Bob Iger, who greenlighted Twin Peaks as ABC Entertainment President from 1989–1992, pays tribute to series co-creator David Lynch who died.
“David Lynch was a brilliant filmmaker, who taught me the value of taking big artistic risks when he created Twin Peaks for ABC,” Iger wrote on Instagram. In addition to its commercial success, Twin Peaks is considered groundbreaking for its complex storytelling, which mixes multiple genres, and unique visual style. He and his team have been blamed by fans for allegedly pressing Lynch to reveal Laura Palmer’s killer sooner than he had planned, which many believe led to the series’ sharp ratings decline in the second half of Season 2 and ultimate cancellation.
