‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Season 6 Officially Begins Filming

The sixth and final season of the FX comedy series, ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ has officially begun filming this Wednesday (January 17, 2024) in Toronto, Canada. Actor Harvey Guillén who plays Guillermo in the series, confirmed the start of the filming via an Instagram story.

‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Season 6 will take a little more than three months and is expected to officially wrap up production on April 29, 2024. Yana Gorskaya is directing the first episode of the sixth and final season.

The series was renewed for Season 5 and 6 in June 2022, way before the premiere of Season 4. However, after the decline in the viewership of Season 5, FX recently decided to conclude the show with the sixth season.

‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Season 5 premiered on July 13, 2023, with the first two episodes and concluded on August 31st with the tenth episode. Season 5 begins soon after Guillermo persuades vampire hunter-turned-vampire Derek (Chris Sandiford) to change him. What We Do in the Shadows has garnered a lot of laughs for its over-the-top depictions of the sexual tension prevalent in vampire legends, and it goes even wilder with Derek and Guillermo's "first time," turning the encounter into a horribly unpleasant, blood-soaked disaster.

What We Do in the Shadows is set in Staten Island and follows the lives of three conventional vampires, Nandor, Laszlo, and Nadja, as well as Colin Robinson, an energy vampire, and Guillermo, Nandor's familiar. The series features centuries-old vampires as they interact with the modern world and other supernatural beings.

Critics have overwhelmingly praised the fifth season, which has a 95% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 34 reviews, with an average rating of 8.6/10. The fifth season has an average Metacritic score of 85 out of 100 based on 11 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim."

The regular cast of the series includes Kayvan Novak as Nandor the Relentless, Natasia Demetriou as Nadja of Antipaxos, Matt Berry as Laszlo Cravensworth, Mark Proksch as Colin Robinson, and Harvey Guillén as Guillermo de la Cruz.
