All good things must come to an end. Even things that technically should live forever, like vampires. The final season of FX and Hulu’s What We Do in the Shadows is coming soon, and now we’ve got our newest trailer for season six. All our favorite undead roommates from Staten Island are back for this last hurrah, including Nandor the Relentless, Laszlo Cranvensworth, Nadja of Antipaxos, Colin Robinson, the Guide, and Guillermo de la Cruz. You can check out the full trailer for What We Do in the Shadows’ final season right here:
So what can we glean from this trailer? Well, it looks like we’re meeting the newest undead roommate. Or actually, it’s an old roommate the vampires once lived with named Jerry. Poor Jerry went into an extended slumber 50 years ago, and his roomies just sort of forgot to wake him up. We also see that Nadja is going to enter the corporate world. As for Laszlo, it appears he’s going to continue his scientific experiments, this time trying to make a cobbled-together corpse come back to life like Frankenstein, a world-famous story he swears he has no idea exists.
Six seasons qualifies as a good run these days for any cable or streaming show. It seems three seasons is the most we get on even popular streaming series these days. So perhaps fans should be happy we got as much as we did. Still, we can’t help but be sad we won’t be seeing our favorite bumbling vampires again. Maybe the term “Six seasons and a movie” should apply here? Hopefully, that won’t be negated by the fact there actually was a What We Do in the Shadows movie first. It was a different cast, we say don’t count it.
Episode one of the final season of What We Do in the Shadows, starring Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Kayvan Novak, Mark Proksch, Kristen Schaal, and Harvey Guillén, drops on FX and Hulu on October 21.
