All good things come to an end! Just like how the cast of What We Do in the Shadows is ready to wrap up their show and bid farewell to it. On July 25, fans were in for a treat when What We Do in the Shadows began its farewell tour by debuting the first episode from the upcoming season at San Diego Comic-Con. During a panel discussion about what's to come in the last season, the cast opened up about how they reacted to learning that the beloved FX series would be coming to an end. 

Furthermore, Paul Simms said that when they found out the news it did not change the mood too much. "We all have a lot of fun on set, and I think like Matt and Paul said, it's a good time," he explained. "You don't want to overstay your welcome and you don't want to become a parody of yourself. And I think six seasons in this day and age is just [phenomenal]," he added.


Actress Kristen Schaal's thoughts on the show ending after six seasons 

Schaal, who appears as the Guide on the FX series What We Do in the Shadows, joked that the show could have continued. She added that her role could have featured in many more episodes since it was the first project she worked on where she knew it would eventually come to an end.

Despite her desire for more seasons, Schaal admitted she was "happy that it's ending on a high note." She continued, "I think that is a smart decision, but I'm sad because there's no other show like it in the world."
