Throughout his career, visionary filmmaker David Lynch, whose death was announced Thursday at the age of 78, made 10 features and dozens of short films. He only ever did two TV series (plus a 3-part anthology), but through one of them, Twin Peaks, his impact on the medium was profound.
“Even though, he’s probably better known as a filmmaker, when he entered TV, he revolutionized it,” says Gary Levine, Senior Creative Advisor at Showtime Networks who was a development executive on both the original Twin Peaks series at ABC and its continuation at Showtime.
In summer 1988, Levine, then a senior drama executive at ABC, had just seen Lynch’s Blue Velvet a few weeks earlier when they got word that the director was coming to pitch his first television show.

1 Major Dune 2 Death Includes A Clever Nod To Original Paul Atreides Actors 38-Year-Old Horror Movie
Dune: Part Two surpasses its predecessor in box office success, grossing $711 million worldwide. The death of Baron Harkonnen pays tribute to David Lynch's Blue Velvet, symbolizing a shift of power. Villeneuve's Dune adaptations honor Lynch's film, providing insight into what worked well and what didn't.
One key death in Dune: Part Two acknowledges the original Paul Atreides actor in a celebrated David Lynch movie. Before Denis Villeneuve brought his vision of the acclaimed Frank Herbert novel to the big screen, renowned director David Lynch became the first to try adapting the novel into a feature film. Kyle MacLaughlin, who starred in many of Lynch's classic works such as Twin Peaks and was recently in Amazon's Fallout, played the original onscreen version of Paul Atreides.
