Summary
- Naomi Watts starred in the short-lived NBC sci-fi series 'Sleepwalkers'.
- The show featured Watts as a dream interpreter using advanced technology.
- Despite producing nine episodes, only two aired due to poor ratings.
Naomi Watts' acting career included a stint on the short-lived NBC sci-fi series 'Sleepwalkers' nearly three decades ago. The show, which premiered on November 1, 1997, featured Watts as Kate Russell, a psychologist and dream interpreter.
Russell utilized cutting-edge technology to enter individuals' dreamscapes to aid them in confronting their subconscious. The network, however, expressed concerns about the show's surreal elements and cohesion between its creators' styles.
Despite nine episodes being produced, "Sleepwalkers" only saw two episodes broadcast due to poor Nielsen ratings. A few additional episodes aired on the West Coast the following year, but the final two installments were never broadcast in the United States.
