Taika Waititi Making a Spin-Off of What We Do in the Shadows Called “Paranormal Event Response Unit”

Along with Dana Gould’s Stan Against Evil, now might be the time for the horror comedy procedural.

One of the best comedies in recent memory is Taika Waititi’s What We Do in the Shadows. The mockumentary of the everyday life of vampires in New Zealand was fantastic and thankfully started making Waititi’s name one to remember here in America.

New Zealand’s own NZ On Air has put up money for a first season of a TV spin-off that follows cops, from the What We Do in the Shadows universe, who are trying to keep the living alive. 

Called Paranormal Event Response Unit, we think it’d be a real smart move on the part of any network or streaming service to strike a North American distribution deal now.
