David Lynch had major new project in works for Netflix before his death at age 78


David Lynch was working on a limited series for Netflix at the time of his death according to Ted Sarandos, the co-CEO for the streamer.

After earning Oscar nominations for directing The Elephant Man and Blue Velvet, the versatile and quirky writer and director changed the TV landscape with his breakthrough series Twin Peaks, a thriller about an FBI agent who travels to a small town to investigate the death of a prom queen. He came to my home with my friend and his muse, Laura Dern and we had a long amazing conversation about projects, cinema, life, art and my windows' Sarandos explained (Pictured in Los Angeles in May 2017) Sources told Deadline the director's health took a turn for the worse when he was forced to evacuate his Hollywood Hills home as flames from what was referred to as the Sunset fire approached the area.
