Based on the 2014 film by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, What We Do in the Shadows follows a group of vampires who have shared a crumbling Staten Island house for centuries. Nandor the Relentless is a former warrior, Laszlo Cravensworth is a dandy with a taste for mischief, and his wife Nadja is a seductress with a sharp tongue.
Colin Robinson is an energy vampire who feeds by being unbearably boring, and Guillermo de la Cruz is Nandor's long-suffering human familiar, who dreams of becoming a vampire himself.
The show ran for six seasons on FX and turned the vampires' clueless attempts at modern life into some of the strangest and funniest television of its time.
