All good things must come to an end. And according to Vulture, that is true even for the Emmy-nominated vampire comedy series “What We Do in the Shadows.” The site reports that production is set to begin next month for its upcoming sixth season but that it will be its last. FX is putting a stake through its heart.
The series, based on the hit film by Jemaine Clement and Taiki Waititi, explores the lives of Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Laszlo (Matt Berry), and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) as they navigate life in Staten Island with the help of their human familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) who wants to be a vampire himself.
Clement and Waititi executive produce the series, along with Paul Simms, Garrett Basch, Sam Johnson, and Eli Bush. FX Produces.
Season five picked up with Nandor feeling that Guillermo is slipping away. We see Nadja suffer the effects of a supernatural hex, leading to her reconnecting with her family from the Old Country. Colin pursues political office, and “The Guide” tries to figure out where she fits in with the group of vampires. Meanwhile, Guillermo continues his pursuit of vampirism.
Watch the previous season of “What We Do in the Shadows” now on FX or Hulu.
