Twin Peaks

The character of Madeleine Ferguson (Laura Palmer's lookalike cousin, played by the same actress) was created because David Lynch was so impressed by Sheryl Lee that he wanted to have her on the series full-time.

In Germany, broadcasting network RTL canceled the show after 20 episodes due to bad ratings because rival network SAT1 told the audience the identity of Laura's murderer before the first episode aired.

There were plans to spin Sherilyn Fenn's character Audrey Horne off into her own series, that didn't come off. Apparently, Audrey inspired David Lynch for Naomi Watts's character in Mulholland Drive (2001), as Fenn said in an interview in 1997 about the Audrey Horne spin-off, "David was talking about 'Mulholland Drive', he talked about like 'Audrey goes to Hollywood'. She's driving along Mulholland in this convertible car... But it didn't end up happening."
