In late December, FX confirmed that What We Do In The Shadows will come to an end with season six. Now, it has been revealed when the show will premiere – thankfully, it’s not a long wait and it’ll come right in time for Halloween.

What We Do In The Shadows will premiere on October 21, airing the first three of its 11-episode run via a Deadline report. The remaining eight episodes will release weekly.

“After a very brief stint as a full-blown vampire, Guillermo is re-evaluating his life,” reads the official description of the show’s final season. “Who is he if not a familiar who will do anything to please his Master in hopes of one day being turned into a vampire?”

“Meanwhile, the vampires are reevaluating, too. When their former roommate reappears after a 50-year nap, they realize how little they’ve done in half a century — not one goal accomplished, not one dream pursued, not one part of the New World conquered (except for their street and part of Ashley Street).”

After the show was renewed for a fifth and sixth season, showrunners Stefani Robinson and Paul Simms addressed that the show’s end – which at the time had not been confirmed to conclude with season six – would deliver a resolution to Guillermo’s fate.

“I think that it hinges on that,” Robinson said, about the vampires’ “bodyguard,” played by Harvey Guillen, who desperately wants to be a vampire — but also happens to be a vampire hunter.

Based on the 2014 film of the same name from creators Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, What We Do In The Shadows follows the adventures of vampires Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) as they navigate the modern world with the help of their human familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén).

The gang were later joined by their vampire bureaucrat acquaintance, the Guide (Kristen Schaal). The show’s fifth season concluded in late August last year.
