The series is titled “Famous Last Words” and the second episode, released last Friday, was dedicated to actor Eric Dane, who lost his battle with the serious disease ALS.

In this touching account, the star of “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Euphoria”, who passed away last Thursday at the age of 53, spoke openly about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), dealing with alcohol and drug addictions, as well as a complex relationship with family.

This was no ordinary interview. From the moment of the shooting, Dane knew full well that his voice would only be heard after he was gone. This unique Netflix format publishes conversations with famous people exclusively after their death.

The first episode appeared in October 2025, after the death of the legendary scientist Jane Goodall at the age of 91, while the release time of the next episodes remains a mystery that depends on fate itself.

The program is presented by the well-known author and producer Brad Falchuk (creator of American Horror Story and husband of Gwyneth Paltrow). The atmosphere in the studio is very intimate: only Falchuk and the interviewee.

The conversation is filmed by remote cameras, and even the staff in the control room cannot hear their words in real time. In the end, Falchuk leaves, leaving the character alone to address a final and direct message to the viewers.

The interviews remain locked in the archive, sometimes for years, and are edited only in the last moments, a few hours before appearing on the platform. In the case of Jane Goodall, the conversation was so deep that it seemed as if she was commenting on her death from “the other side”.

The series is based on the successful Danish format “Det Sidste Ord”, which Netflix bought in the summer of 2024. In the original version, the program has been highly praised for the freedom it gives public figures to reflect on the legacy they leave behind.

Eric Dane, who recorded the interview. in November with symptoms already evident, he left a touching message for his two daughters. He wished them to fall in love not just with a man, but with a passion, just as he had done with acting.

On the other hand, Jane Goodall ended her interview (recorded in March 2025) with a call to humanity, remembering that every individual has a vital role in this world. The idea of ​​the program is to transform the attention that follows the death of a character into a “poignant and transcendent” experience.

According to Falchuk, the knowledge that the conversation will be published post-mortem gives the interviewees absolute freedom. For example, Goodall did not hesitate to crack jokes, suggesting that leaders like Trump, Putin or Netanyahu should be sent to space in Elon Musk’s spaceships.

So far five interviews have been recorded and are waiting in the archives of the Kennedy Center, ready to be shown when the earthly lives of their protagonists are over. /tesheshi.com/
