The vampires of What We Do in the Shadows are heading back into their coffins for good: The FX comedy will end with the upcoming Season 6, TVLine has confirmed. (Vulture first reported the news.)
Shadows revolves around a group of vampires who live together in Staten Island and do their best to blend in with their human neighbors. The cast includes Kayvan Novak as Nandor, Matt Berry as Laszlo, Natasia Demetriou as Nadja, Harvey Guillén as human familiar Guillermo and Mark Proksch as energy vampire Colin Robinson.
Debuting in 2019 on FX, What We Do in the Shadows is based on the 2014 film starring Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, with Waititi and Clement serving as executive producers on the series and appearing as guest stars as well. It has earned a number of Emmy nominations across five seasons, including nods for Outstanding Comedy Series in 2020 and 2022.
FX renewed What We Do in the Shadows for Season 6 in June 2022 as part of a two-season renewal. Season 5 wrapped up its 10-episode run this August. (Check out our season finale recap here.) A premiere date for the sixth and final season has not yet been announced.

I’m a longtime fan of the show and ending after six seasons feels right. Especially after the twist in the last finale, it is time to wrap things up.
Sounds about right. Liked how people from SI (I live in SI) said they recognized areas of SI in the show even though it’s filmed in Toronto.
The WWDITS set crew is just *that* good.
Kidding aside, I’m a little sad it’s ending,
What We do in the Shadows was consistently new and always funny. Yes I will miss it very much. It always brightens my spirit and the cast is excellent.
Well crap! I hope we at least see Jackie Daytona one more time.
Say it isn’t so! WWDITS is one of the best comedies out there, I’ll miss the vampires, occasional werewolves and, of course, Guillermo!
I really enjoy the adventures of the Vampires, and am sad to hear the show will be ending soon.. Love you guys (and gals). Looking foreward to seeing you show up in other programs…
Say it isn’t so! I will miss this show. I guess this means I need to do a Christmas rewatch.
Sad. Wish it had a few more seasons. But 6 is a nice way to end on top before it becomes a parody of itself (which it kind of is already?).
Nooo 😭
Why can’t it be like Sunny and just go on and on….
Truly enjoyed this funny & witty comedy! I loved, loved the cast. I will miss this entertaining show.
#AMovieAndSixSeasons
One of the silliest and funniest show show that I have ever seen.
I will miss it.
Aw. it was one of my favorites. The cast is so good!
NOOOOOOO!!!! I’M NOT READY!! BAT!!
My wife and I love this show. Six seasons is a great run.
I’m glad it got six something this unique normally wouldn’t but I still want more
I’ve loved every episode and season of WWDITS and I appreciate that the show will be given a chance to end properly, so thank you FX for that bit of grace.
.
I’m excited to see see how they end it: a montage showing the “future” – think Scrubs (the first time it ended) or Six Feet Under, or they leave the Isle of Staten to go their own ways (a common plot of many series finales), or they just go into their coffins for the day like every day and we know they’ll still be there (think Cheers), or maybe there’s be some other completely off-the-wall only-on-WWDITS way to end it. Yes, please – that last one!
This show kills me I love it SO MUCH.
I want it to go on forever.
The first 2 episodes of season 2 are by far my favorites and I know them by heart.
I named my dog Laszlo!
Nandor is my absolute favorite character in decades.
CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF HIS ACCENT.
THANK YOU for this show!
This is the most upset I’ve ever been about a tv show ending!!
Oh no! My favorite and most hilarious show is ending ? I will miss the best vampire show ever but am grateful for the comedic genius of all concerned .
How dare they take away such a marvelous show, especially when they have yet to conquer past Ashley Street. I only bought Hulu and kept it for THIS show…….
DON’T END IT!!!
Good job Disney you killed another must watch series.
