You Can Watch Season 3 of Wellington Paranormal in the U.S. Starting 6/22 on The CW

June 21, 2022

This is just a friendly public service announcement to remind you that there is another side to the What We Do In the Shadows Universe that is coming stateside. More specifically, season 3 of Wellington Paranormal, the ridiculously hysterical spin-off that follows the Keystone Cops-y paranormal investigative unit for the New Zealand Police in Wellington, is coming to U.S. platforms.

On Wed. Jun. 22nd at 9PM, Wellington Paranormal season 3 will premiere on The CW (then probably stream on CW for free afterwards). Currently, you can stream seasons 1 and 2 on cwtv.com and, if you’re jonesin’ for anything remotely close to WWDS like we are, you’re going to want to get in on all three seasons over and over and over.
