What We Do in the Shadows Plot and Cast
Although we don’t have an official synopsis for What We Do in the Shadows Season 4, thanks to cast and crew interviews, as well as the shocking ending of Season 3, we can already paint a pretty clear picture of what it’s plot will look like.
At the end of Season 3, we saw the gang go their separate ways. Laszlo and Nadja were heading to England, while Nandor and Guillermo were set to travel the world. However, we were left on a cliffhanger when Laszlo trapped Guillermo in his coffin and sent the two off to England while he stayed behind in Staten Island.
There is also the case of more energy vampire questions. In Season 3, Colin was obsessed with finding out where he came from; however, before he got a firm answer, he reached his expiration date and died. But newly formed baby Colin offers tons of potential lore and funny antics to look forward to. Along with these storylines, Season 4 will also introduce us to more supernatural beings that we haven’t met before.
The makers have not given them any words on cast members yet so, we can’t say much about upcoming casts. However, sources have confirmed a few names including Natasia Demetriou, Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak, Harvey Guillén and Mark Proksch.
What We Do in the Shadows Season 4 Release Date
What We Do in the Shadows was renewed for a fourth season in 2021. The makers have officially announced that the show is going to premiere on July 12, 2022.
For now, we can expect a new season might come with ten episodes like the previous seasons with the same runtime for each. Further details will be revealed once the show premieres.
