We don’t have to wonder if What We Do in the Shadows will be cancelled this time. It’s already been announced that season six is the end for this FX show, and there won’t be a seventh year. Could the characters return someday? Stay tuned.
A horror-comedy mockumentary series, the What We Do in the Shadows TV show stars Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guillén, Mark Proksch, Kristen Schaal, and Alyssa Limperis. Based on the feature film by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, this TV series follows the nightly exploits of a group of vampire roommates — Nandor (Novak), Nadja (Demetriou), Laszlo (Berry), and Colin Robinson (Proksch) — as they navigate the modern world of Staten Island with the help of their human familiar, Guillermo (Guillén), and their vampire bureaucrat acquaintance, The Guide (Schaal). In season six, Nandor, Nadja, Laszlo, Colin, and Guillermo enter the workforce, visit New Hampshire, go to a human dinner party, fête The Baron, and conjure a demon. They do this while trying to find their place and their purpose in this crazy, mixed-up world.
