Toronto-filmed series What We Do in the Shadows is back for its fifth season on FX.
Based on the 2014 film by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, the television series documents the nightly exploits of vampire roommates Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) as they navigate the modern world of Staten Island with the help of their human familiar (and slayer) Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), and their vampire bureaucrat acquaintance, The Guide (Kristen Schaal).
In the fifth season, Nandor feels his familiar (and sometimes friend) Guillermo slipping away as he seems to be spending much more time with Laszlo, whose skills as a gentlemen scientist are put to the test as he tries to solve the mystery of the strange and very secret changes Guillermo is going through.
Meanwhile, Nadja, who is suffering from the effects of a previously-undiagnosed supernatural hex, reconnects with her family – or at least, a family – from the Old Country; Colin pursues the path of so many energy vampires before him by running for political office; The Guide tries to figure out where she fits in as the relative newcomer to this tightly-knit group who’ve known each other for centuries.
What We Do in the Shadows airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX beginning July 13. A second episode will air at 10:30 p.m. ET on July 13. New episodes will then air Wednesdays at 10 p.m. Canadians can stream earlier seasons on Disney+.
