What Is ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Season 6 About?

Season 6 of What We Do in the Shadows largely picks up with the in-residence vampires of Staten Island — consisting of Nandor the Relentless (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo Cravensworth (Matt Berry), Nadja of Antipaxos (Natasia Demetriou), and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) — back to their usual antics, or so we think. The overall dynamic in the house has significantly changed in the wake of Nandor’s former familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), deciding to move out, seemingly permanently, although as the premiere quickly reveals, he hasn’t strayed all that far from his original stomping grounds. That continuing proximity means that, despite Guillermo’s quest for independence, he finds himself becoming a reluctant sounding board for the vampires, each of whom knocks on his door to get some advice or merely use him as a begrudging ear for their own struggles.

Meanwhile, a new member of the household threatens to upend the tenuous relationships already in play… or should we say old? “The Return of Jerry,” written by executive producer Paul Simms and directed by Kyle Newacheck, revolves around the vampires’ sudden, dismayed realization that they have another roommate who’s been in super-slumber this entire time, as well as the disruption to routine that results when he’s inevitably roused from his coffin. It’s the earliest example of What We Do in the Shadows coming full circle in its run, as the revival of this old roomie also plunges the vampires into a bit of an unlife crisis. Their initial mission, if you’ll recall, had been to enact a plan of conquest and take over Staten Island, and in all this time, they’ve only managed to assert their control over a couple of blocks. No wonder, then, that Laszlo, Nandor, and Nadja especially decide to use this wake-up call to pursue their own long-held dreams, even if those decisions might put some of them at odds with each other in the process.

What We Do in the Shadows Season 6 premieres with its first three episodes October 21 on FX, streaming next-day on Hulu.

Pros:

• Harvey Guillén gets even more opportunity to shine as Guillermo flourishes in his semi-independence outside of the house.
• The Season 6 premiere feels like one of the best examples of the show coming full circle.
• The characters’ relationships are lived-in and comforting no matter which pairs are on-screen together.

Cons:

• The season is a bit slow to start before launching into its longer story arcs.
