What We Do In The Shadows: Season 4
Coming soon, BBC
This hilarious mockumentary series follows the lives of four vampires on Staten Island, New York, who’ve lived together for hundreds of years. The last time we saw the undead housemates, Nandor was heading off to travel the world. Nadja and Lazlo were going to head back to England but Lazlo forced servant Guillermo to take his place so he could stay and look after the baby Colin Robinson who had just crawled out of his decomposed adult corpse. If you’re not caught up, then that probably sounds confusing but this show should be at the top of your watch list. It’s funny, brilliantly performed, fresh and inventive. Surprise guest stars have so far included Mark Hamill, Haley Joel Osment, Benedict Wong, Tilda Swinton, Wesley Snipes and more. I can’t wait to see who they rope in for season four!
