Ranging from the premiere date and cast to poster art and beyond.
When Does What We Do in the Shadows Season 6 Premiere?

What Is What We Do in the Shadows Season 6 About?
What We Do in the Shadows follows the exploits of Staten Island-based vampire roommates Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, and Colin Robinson who are supported by their human familiar Guillermo. Meanwhile, The Guide has joined their ragtag group over the course of the series, joining in their supernatural shenanigans.
In Season 6, Guillermo is reevaluating his life after a full-blown stint as a vampire. Who is he if not a familiar who will do anything to please his Master, Nandor, in hopes of one day being turned into a vampire? That’s a question Guillermo will have to face. Meanwhile, the vampires are reevaluating as well. When their former roommate reappears after a 50-year nap, they realize how little they’ve actually done in half a century. With not one goal accomplished, not one dream pursued, and not one part of the World conquered, except for their street and part of Ashley Street, the vampires will have a reckoning of sorts.
Fans will follow them along as they enter the workforce, visit New Hampshire, go to a human dinner party, fête The Baron, and conjure a demon, all while trying to find purpose in the world.
Who Stars in What We Do in the Shadows Season 6?
As mentioned above, Guillén, Novak, Berry, Demetriou, Proksch, and Schaal are all back as the core cast of this comedy. And we’re hopeful other familiar faces will pop up in this final chapter like loveable next-door neighbor Sean, played by Anthony Atamanuik.
