renewed

What We Do In The Shadows remains one of the funniest comedies on television, especially for how much it was glorious salve during the thick of quarantine. Its lack of awards recognition is a great reflection on how much politicking goes on during awards season (it kind of should be winning everything, FYI).

Thankfully, there’s a chance for all that to change as FX in a very shrewd, wise move opted to pick up What We Do In The Shadows for seasons 5 and 6. Given how imaginative the entire writing staff has gotten with the first three seasons while also managing to both grow Guillermo, Nadia, Colin Robinson, Nandor, and Laszlo and keep the integrity and humor of the series intact, we have full faith in them not hitting a slump.

You can see that season 4, due to premiere on Jul. 12th on FX and Hulu after that, is already going to be a hoot with baby Colin Robinson with the first official teaser here.

It has been decided. The vampires that rule over a block of two of Staten Island in What We Do In the Shadows on FX are beloved so much that they’re going to get a third season. Currently, they’re in the middle of a fantastic second season filled with so much exquisitely dark silliness.

Thus far, this might be one of the best movie-to-TV series adaptations in recent memory (maybe even further back) as the FX series has faithfully maintained the spirit of the original Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement movie and being able to stand on its own.

In any case, if you need a reason to continue to make it through these times, a third season of What We Do in The Shadows is a pretty damn good one (especially if they get to the origin story of Colin Robinson, energy vampire).
