What We Do In The Shadows isn’t going anywhere. FX has announced that its vampire mockumentary is getting renewed for two more seasons, giving the show life through at least Season 6.
If you’ve watched the show, then you’re likely just as happy as I am. It’s a very eccentric series, but the comedy is next-level.
This renewal news comes right before What We Do In The Shadows premieres its fourth season next month. It looks like the network is just that confident in it, and its ability to last for…eternity.
What We Do In The Shadows renewed on FX
President of Original Programming at FX Entertainment Nick Grad shared his excitement for the renewal. “There’s a lot of life left in our favorite vampires from Staten Island and FX couldn’t be more thrilled to commit to two additional seasons of this phenomenal series,” Grad said in a statement. “What We Do in the Shadows excels on every level, from the brilliant cast and surprising guest stars to the producers, writers, directors, and crew. We can’t wait for everyone to enjoy season four, knowing that the next two are on the way.”
The fourth season is less than a month away, and there is a lot to catch up audiences on when it comes to Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Guillermo (Harvey Guillen), and Nadja (Natasia Demetriou). At the end of season 3, the trio parted ways while Laszlo (Matt Berry) stayed back in the mansion to take care of Baby Colin…the creature that crawled its way out of the dead Colin Robinson’s (Mark Proksch) body. I told you the show gets weird.
According to the season 4 synopsis, the vampires will come back to Staten Island under grim circumstances, which is where things will kick off:
"[…] This season, the vampires return to Staten Island to find their mansion on the verge of total structural collapse—and with no money to repair it. While Nandor’s eternal search for love finally yields results, Nadja finally realizes her dream of opening the hottest vampire nightclub in the Tri-State Area. Laszlo struggles with the question of nature versus nurture as he tries raising Baby Colin to be anything other than an energy vampire. And even Guillermo finds himself on a powerful emotional track that touches on his love for his family, and for others."

Season 4 will premiere with two back-to-back episodes on FX on Tuesday, July 12 at 10:00 p.m. EST. If you miss the live premiere, you can check out the episodes the next day on Hulu.
In the midst of a gloomy world, trust me when I say this: you need to check out this show! I promise it’ll be worth all your time.
