So, Who’s in Shadows this Time?
Making a splash in the new season is a character named Lisa, played by the witty and talented comedian Alyssa Limperis. If you’ve seen Flatbush Misdemeanors, The List, Aunty Donna’s House, Too Late, or have heard her character voices on the Cartoon Network show We Baby Bears, you’ll know exactly why we are so excited. Limperis is also famous for her mom videos that have gone viral, and her deeply personal comedy special “No Bad Days” on Peacock, which revolves around losing her dad.
Navigating the Darkness
If you’ve somehow missed the previous seasons, let’s get you caught up real quick. “What We Do in the Shadows” is a hilarious horror-comedy spin-off from Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s mockumentary film with the same name. The series focuses on three vampire roommates: the married couple Laszlo (Matt Berry) and Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), and Nandor (Kayvan Novak). Alongside them lives Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), a unique “energy vampire” who drains the energy of people around him, including his vampiric roommates, by being incredibly dull and boring. An office environment is his hunting ground – quirky, right?
What’s Cooking in Season 6?
The official synopsis for season 6 reveals that after having a brief taste of the vampire life, Guillermo (Harvey Guillen) is forced to re-evaluate his existence. What’s his identity if he’s not the eager-to-please familiar hoping to turn into a vampire someday? Meanwhile, the vampires are also on a self-reflection journey. The return of their former roomie after a 50-year slumber forces them to address their lack of achievements in the past half-century.
You’ll also experience the acting prowess of Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guillen, Mark Proksch, and Kristen Schaal, who make up the brilliant main cast.
The curtain closes for “What We Do in the Shadows” with season 6 as its swansong. The show is the brainchild of a fantastic executive team comprising Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement, Paul Simms, Scott Rudin, Eli Bush, and Garrett Basch.
Make sure to catch the final episodes on Hulu, a day after their premiere. If you’re outside the United States, don’t worry. The series will be available internationally on Disney+ at a later date.
