Based on Thor director Taika Waititi’s 2014 vampire mockumentary, the series follows the (after)lives of four vampires, who live together in Staten Island with their former familiar and current human friend, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén).
A trailer for season 6 was previously released, giving fans their first glimpse of what to expect from Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) and Colin (Mark Proksch) in the final season.
The footage shows Lazlo attempting to resurrect the dead, as well as the arrival of a new vampire, amongst other drama.
Teasing what fans can expect, actor Proksch previously told Deadline that his vampire Colin "gets into a lot of mischief this year with Lazlo".
The actor added: "We are an odd couple, but it works out in the end for the comedy."
He continued: "I hope in five years they do a movie with Colin Robinson and the rest of the cast, but I don’t know if that will be possible."
With What We Do in the Shadows debuting on Monday 21st October on FX in the US, and airing weekly, fans in the UK might be wondering how to watch the series. Read on for everything you need to know.
Alternatively, you can catch the first four seasons of What We Do in the Shadows on BBC iPlayer, where the episodes are free to anyone with a TV licence.
Is What We Do in the Shadows season 6 coming to Disney Plus?
The show’s previous seasons are available to stream internationally on Disney Plus.
Season 6 is expected to follow suit, but a release date is yet to be announced, and fans will have to watch this space.
What We Do in the Shadows is a mockumentary-style sitcom about four vampires who share a house in New York City.
The series explores their relationships with one another and the broader community, including fellow vampires and other mythical beings such as werewolves.
In addition to revealing how monster society functions, the show also features some fish-out-of-water comedy as the centuries-old vampires attempt to navigate and understand an ever-changing modern world.
