Last month, FX announced the July 13 return of its hit vampire-comedy “What We Do In The Shadows.” On Thursday, the network debuted the official trailer for the show’s upcoming fifth season.
“What We Do in the Shadows” is based on the feature film by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi and documents the nightly exploits of vampire roommates Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) as they navigate the modern world of Staten Island with the help of their human familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), and their vampire bureaucrat acquaintance, The Guide (Kristen Schaal).
In season five, Nandor feels his familiar Guillermo slipping away as he seems to be spending much more time with Laszlo, whose skills as a gentleman scientist are put to the test as he tries to solve the mystery of the strange and very secret changes Guillermo is going through.
Nadja, suffering the effects of a previously-undiagnosed supernatural hex, reconnects with her family — or at least, a family — from the Old Country, Colin pursues the path of so many energy vampires before him by running for political office, and The Guide tries to figure out where she fits in as the relative newcomer to this tightly-knit group who’ve known each other for centuries.
“What We Do In The Shadows” returns to FX and to stream on Hulu starting July 13.
