What will the plot be?
What We Do in the Shadows continues to follow the misadventures of Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, Colin Robinson, and their vampire roommates on Staten Island, with Guillermo as their devoted human companion. In Season 6, Guillermo is grappling with his long tenure as a vampire's familiar and questioning his future. His devotion to Nandor and his desire to become a vampire himself remain central, but he must confront his identity and purpose.
The vampires are also undergoing their own existential crisis. With their former roommate awakening from a fifty-year slumber, they realize they haven't achieved much beyond their immediate surroundings. This prompts a search for meaning and a reassessment of their goals.
Season 6 will see the vampires venture beyond Staten Island, embarking on new adventures in New Hampshire, hosting The Baron, raising a demon, joining the workforce, and attending a human dinner party. Fans can expect a mix of humor, supernatural antics, and personal growth as the characters navigate these new experiences.
