It’s time to say goodbye to everyone’s favorite gang of offbeat vampire roomies. After six seasons, What We Do in the Shadows is ending. Taika Waititi co-created and co-starred with Jemaine Clement in the 2014 cult movie from which the FX series takes inspiration.
The series stars Kayvan Novak as Nandor, Matt Berry as Laszlo Cravensworth, Natasia Demetriou as Nadja, Harvey Guillen as Guillermo de la Cruz and Mark Proksch as energy vampire Colin Robinson. Season 6 has found this dysfunctional crew of vamps once again picking up the mission of conquering the world.
Big surprise: They still haven’t followed through on that.
That’s OK, though. Everyone experienced a sense of growth this season. Guillermo got a job on Wall Street (as did Nandor and Nadja); Laszlo created his version of a Frankenstein’s monster, and Colin helped mold the monster into a somewhat coherent creature.
Now that all this is behind us, I wonder how it’ll all end. According to a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Waititi believes it’s gone on for far too long. Agree or disagree; one thing’s for certain: There will never be another gang of vampires on TV as weird, cool and horny as these folks were.
Long live Jackie Daytona.

How to stream the What We Do in the Shadows finale
The What We Do in the Shadows finale is scheduled to air on FX on Monday, Dec. 16, at 10 p.m. ET. The episode is set to land on Hulu the following day. If you want to watch the finale’s live broadcast without cable, a live TV streaming service such as YouTube TV or Sling TV provide access to FX’s linear network.
Sling TV’s Blue plan carries FX in its channel lineup, and the services offers more than 40 channels and includes 50 hours of DVR. Plans start at $40 a month — depending on your region — and new customers can get a discount on the first month.
Stream episodes of What We Do in the Shadow each Tuesday following their Monday night debut on FX. Setting yourself up with a subscription to Hulu or Hulu on Disney Plus would be a solid first step. Take note: Disney raised prices for its streaming services, so Hulu’s monthly and yearly costs have gone up.
There are ways to save some scratch when adding Hulu to your streaming mix. Aside from the option to sign up for a free trial, college students can take advantage of available discounts explicitly aimed at them. Verizon customers can save some dollars using a specific plan. Not to mention, an array of Disney bundles — including the Hulu, Disney Plus and Max megabundle — can lead to worthwhile savings.
