What We Do in the Shadows – Official Trailer
The Emmy-nominated series will bid viewers farewell on Monday, October 21, when its final season premieres with three back-to-back episodes beginning at 10:00 PM ET/PT. In preparation for the show's return, FX unveiled some spooky character portraits featuring everyone's favorite vampire housemates Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), along with former confidant and human friend Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) and vampire acquaintance The Guide (Kristen Schaal).
When TV Insider spoke to several actors at Disney Upfronts in May 2024, Proksch said of the impending end, "It's hard to say goodbye to a good show that people love, and I'm definitely going to miss the people I've had the pleasure of working with, but I'm also excited to move on and see what the future holds."
As for what fans can expect, Berry teased, “There’s a lot of science in this final season,” which seems clear based on the portrayals, which seem to be an homage to a Frankenstein-esque experiment, at least for Berry’s Laszlo. The Season 6 logline hints at changes for everyone, as the vampires are forced to reevaluate their goals when their former roommate resurfaces after a decades-long nap and reminds them of the dreams they once achieved.
