Synopsis of What We Do in the Shadows

Four vampires share a house on Staten Island, in New York, and have been roommates for hundreds of years. Nandor, a former warrior who considers himself the leader of the group even though nobody obeys him, Laszlo, a British nobleman who loves poetry and scientific experiments, and Nadja, a Greek vampire with a prickly personality, live alongside Colin Robinson, an energy vampire who feeds on the boredom of those around him. Household duties fall to Guillermo, Nandor's human servant, who dreams of becoming a vampire himself. The series, created by Jemaine Clement and aired on FX, follows this group as they clash with the modern world, other supernatural beings and themselves. Guillermo must balance his loyalty to Nandor with his desire to transform, which is complicated by his lineage tied to vampire hunter Van Helsing. Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou and Harvey Guillén lead the cast of this mockumentary.

Trivia about What We Do in the Shadows

Producer Paul Simms says the series doesn't use CGI, and that one of his favorite supernatural scenes was shot with a camera, without resorting to digital effects.
The opening theme uses “You're Dead” by Norma Tanega, from 1966, the same song that played over the opening credits of the original film the series is based on.
The series has earned 35 Emmy nominations, four of them in the Outstanding Comedy Series category, for its second, third, fifth and sixth seasons.
Clement has said that the role of Laszlo was written specifically for Matt Berry, while the name Nadja comes from a 1994 movie.
The series' world premiere was screened on 2019 at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, as part of its episodic premieres section.
The sixth season was the last: FX confirmed that the series would end with 11 episodes, a decision announced before its broadcast began and described as a natural conclusion by the network's president.
The series is filmed in Toronto, although the story takes place on Staten Island. Night shoots could last 12 hours and start at six in the evening.
Harvey Guillén got the confirmation that they would play Guillermo the day before filming began: they attended a costume fitting on Tuesday and started shooting on Wednesday.
