What We Do in the Shadows Season 6 Release Date
Before the fourth-season premiere, FX renewed the series for a fifth and sixth season. The release date of What We Do in the Shadows season 6 is yet to be announced. Since season five has not been released yet, it is impossible to predict the release date for season 6.
The new season might consist of 10 episodes like the previous seasons, however, an official confirmation is awaited. The series has been critically acclaimed (particularly for its cast and writing) and nominated for 17 Emmy Awards, including the Outstanding Comedy Series in 2020 and 2022.
What We Do in the Shadows Plot and Cast
The basic premise followed by the series overall the last three seasons is, “What We Do in the Shadows recounts the lives of three traditional vampires, Nandor, Laszlo, and Nadja; Colin Robinson, an energy vampire; and Guillermo, Nandor’s familiar, in Staten Island, New York City, New York. The vampires interact with the modern world and other supernatural beings in this series.”
As, What We Do in the Shadows Season 4 is premiering next month on July 2, 2022. So, it is very early to guess the plot for season 6, which is expected to pick up the pilot episode from the finale of Season 4 just like the prior seasons of the series have done to connect the plots and avoid any major loopholes in the story as the premise evolves each chapter.
Hence, the sixth season is also expected to revolve around the story and expand the characters on these plotlines and expand the universe with major changes to experiment with the story that keeps the viewers intrigued with the series so that they tune in to see more seasons.
The cast includes Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guillén, Mark Proksch, and many more.
