Nobody makes them like David Lynch.
The 76-year-old American auteur has arguably helmed some of the most compelling and satisfying cinematic puzzles in cinema history.
Famous for such films as Blue Velvet, Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, and Mulholland Drive, the filmmaker is also highly regarded for his work on the TV series Twin Peaks, which was resurrected for a third season in 2017.
Speaking of TV, there has long been speculation surrounding a potential David Lynch-directed miniseries called Wisteria.
With recent rumours of a new project coming to Cannes, can we expect it?

Is David Lynch’s Wisteria premiering at Cannes?
No, David Lynch has clarified that he has no projects that are scheduled to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this year.
During a recent conversation with Entertainment Weekly, the interviewer asked him about the Variety reports suggesting that he may have a new movie starring Laura Dern set to premiere:
“I have no new film coming out. That’s a total rumor. So there you are. It is not happening. I don’t have a project. I have nothing at Cannes. It’s unfortunate. It got built up that people thought, ‘Oh, that’d be nice.’”
He continued: “But there is something new, but it’s not mine. I don’t know whose it is. They say there’s something new at Cannes, and they don’t say whose it is, and some people thought it was my film, but it’s not. So we’ll wait and see, and see whose it is.”
While he doesn’t reference Wisteria directly, the fact that he confirms that he doesn’t have a project rules out any potential TV series debuting at Cannes.
What’s happening with Wisteria?
Casting our minds back to the project’s announcement, Dazed reports that David Lynch revealed he was making a TV series in 2020 – with the working title Wisteria or Unrecorded Night – and that filming would begin in May 2021.
Indeed, a listing appeared in the November 26 issue of Production Weekly.
World of Reel also highlights that there were rumours of the director partnering with Netflix for the project in March 2021.
However, they reported last October that the streamer ultimately decided to scrap the project.
It’s currently uncertain whether Wisteria will eventually materialise. However, considering David himself has said there is no new project, it’s looking increasingly unlikely.
