David Lynch was working on a Netflix show before his death

Netflix co-ceo Ted Sarandos has confirmed that David Lynch was working on a new show before his passing last week.
Cinema fans around the world were left reeling last week by the death of David Lynch, one of America’s most individual filmmakers and the director of some unforgettable films such as Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet and The Elephant Man.
Lynch was diagnosed with emphysema last year and the condition limited him physically, leaving the filmmaker to state at the time that he may never direct again.
With his passing last week, that sadly proved to be the case, leaving 2006’s Inland Empire as Lynch’s final major work. Although as he did throughout his career, the filmmaker would continue to experiment with short films right up until last year.
We may have also gotten one final project from Lynch: a limited series that he was planning to make with Netflix.
