The series has gathered quite a cult following with its distinctive blend of humor and supernatural antics, cementing its place in modern television.
The Plot Thickens
This latest trailer offers a tantalizing preview filled with the usual shenanigans of our favorite undead roommates. Staten Island’s resident vampires—Nandor, Guillermo, Laszlo, Nadja, and Colin Robinson—are back, and this time, they’re up to even crazier antics. Laszlo appears to explore raising the dead, an endeavor sure to add chaos to their already chaotic lives. Meanwhile, Nandor embarks on a conquest of his own, the details of which remain shrouded in mystery but promise laughs aplenty. And, to pique viewers’ interest further, there’s a new vampire in town.
Meet the Undead Ensemble
“What We Do in the Shadows” draws inspiration from Taika Waititi’s 2014 film of the same name. The TV adaptation maintains the mockumentary style and continues to engage audiences with its humor and heart. The talented ensemble cast includes Kayvan Novak as the earnest Nandor, Matt Berry as the irrepressible Laszlo, Natasia Demetriou as the fierce Nadja, Harvey Guillen as the ever-loyal Guillermo, and Mark Proksch as the awkward yet endearing Colin Robinson. The series also features notable appearances from Kristen Schaal, among others, adding extra layers of talent and humor.
Behind the Curtains
The creative forces behind “What We Do in the Shadows” deserve their moment in the spotlight as well. The series is the brainchild of the imaginative minds of Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, who serve not only as writers but also as executive producers. Collaborating with them are Paul Simms, Stefani Robinson, Sam Johnson, Garrett Basch, and Eli Bush, all of whom contribute to the dynamic magic of the show. FX Productions consistently backs the project, showcasing their faith in this unorthodox comedy.
Accolades and Applause
The series has not gone unnoticed by critics and the industry alike. Most recently, it snagged multiple Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series. Matt Berry’s portrayal of Laszlo in Season 5 also earned him a nod for Outstanding Lead Actor, a testament to his comedic prowess and the series’ appeal. These accolades are merely the cherry on top of a sundae that has delighted fans over the years.
