Officers Minogue and O’Leary are returning for their final cases. The CW has picked up the fourth season of Wellington Paranormal which will begin airing on July 27th. The series originates in New Zealand where it’s already been announced that season four is the end.
A comedy-horror mockumentary series, the Wellington Paranormal TV show was created by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. The program is a spin-off of the 2014 What We Do in the Shadows film and the TV series that followed. The show stars Mike Minogue, Karen O’Leary, and Maaka Pohatu. The story follows the adventures of Officer Kyle Minogue (Minogue) and Officer O’Leary (O’Leary). The pair are hard-working members of the Wellington constabulary’s paranormal unit who, under the supervision of Sergeant Ruawai Maaka (Pohatu), investigate supernatural occurrences that arise in the capital of New Zealand on a surprisingly regular basis.
The third season of Wellington Paranormal averages a 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 204,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season two, that’s down by 38% in the demo and down by 9% in viewership.
The third season finishes airing on The CW on Wednesday, July 20th. The fourth season will launch the following week and the series finale is expected to air on August 31st.
What do you think? Do you enjoy this comedy series? Will you be sad to see Wellington Paranormal end? Would you have watched a fifth season?
Get officers Minogue and O’Leary on special assignment to Statten Island to root out the wiff woof in What We do in the Shadows tv show. There’s soooo much potential ~!! =)
I watch it on HBO max. Immediately fell in love with it because of What we do in the shadows movie. I’ll certainly be sad to see it go after the 4th season
Not sure if it was bc I was an American introduced to it by CW but I wasn’t even aware it was supposed to be linked to What We Do in The Shadows until this year…. still enjoyed it either way but they did a poor job of selling the show since to them it was a random filler along with that gamer show that was pretty amusing.
Well the ratings definitely don’t capture the large numbers of the OTA over the air watchers. Really enjoyed the show.
I really like this show… perhaps they can find a way to cross the characters over to What We Do in the Shadows.
I like the show. I wish that they would continue it. It, What we do in the Shadows, and Dead Pixels are very enjoyable shows. They don’t seem pretentious and just want to make their fans have a delightful time watching the show. Once again, I hope that the “Powers that Be”, rethink the cancellation of Wellington Paranormal.
Season 4 is already on Crave, so by next week, I will have seen them all. The series has been awesome.
to bad, i like this show, maybe if it had more episodes it would have had time to catch on
I enjoy the show as it makes me laugh. It is so lightheaded. Sorry to see it go.
