What We Do In The Shadows was one of the best things that got us through quarantine last year and it will very likely to continue to serve that purpose whether it be rewatching eps. of the past two seasons or getting a whole new season (can anyone really confidently say what’s truly going to happen this year?)

In any case, Deadline is hosting an exclusive virtual screening of one of the all time best pieces of horror comedy that will be accompanied by a panel discussion with the cast and showrunners. That includes Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guillén, Mark Proksch, Paul Simms, and Stefani Robinson. If you’re looking for any word on season 3 of What We Do In The Shadows, this is very likely where’d you get it.

Best of all, it’s free to join in so long as you RSVP. Do so here.
