The third season finale of FX’s vampire mockumentary series What We Do In The Shadows left many things in flux for our Staten Island-residing vampires and their familiar—ahem—bodyguard. However, it won’t be long now till we get to see where their journeys have taken them, as season four premieres this summer.

Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), and, unexpectedly, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) all left Staten Island in the season three finale. Nandor, on a journey of self-discovery, headed out on a solo journey, while Nadja was invited by Viago (Taikia Waititi) to visit the Supreme Vampiric Council in London.

Guillermo originally intended on leaving with Nandor, but was instead locked in a coffin headed for Europe by Laszlo (Matt Berry). All the while, Laszlo decided to stay home to care for the creature that clawed its way out of the chest cavity of the deceased Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch)—aka Baby Colin.

FX says that this season, the vampires return to Staten Island to find their mansion on the verge of total structural collapse—and with no money to repair it. While Nandor’s eternal search for love finally yields results, Nadja finally realizes her dream of opening the hottest vampire nightclub in the Tri-State Area. Laszlo struggles with the question of nature versus nurture as he tries raising Baby Colin to be anything other than an energy vampire. And even Guillermo finds himself on a powerful emotional track that touches on his love for his family, and for others.

In season four, we’ll see the vampires and Guillermo visit terrifying locales such as the secret supernatural Night Market, the Jersey Pine Barrens, and a wedding altar.

Season 4 of What We Do In The Shadows will premiere on FX on July 12, 2022.

     And where’s that Tash & Ellie sketch show they filmed already? Man, those Demetriou siblings are ridiculously talented. And their collaborators, all of them have some pretty great comedy things to stumble on, so get googling.

  • marshalgrover-av says:

    Damn, it feels like yesterday season 3 happened.  Can’t wait!

  • mordecaiclevername-av says:

    I love how this article waits until the last freakin’ sentence to deliver on the headline’s promise. Gotta get those mid-article ad impressions somehow!

  • moswald74-av says:

    YES!!! I love those vampires so much! Bat!

  • smittywerbenjagermanjensen22-av says:

    Hopefully more of my favorites, Nadja and the Nadja doll 

  • iamamarvan-av says:

    I disliked season so much, I don’t know if I’m going to keep going

    • badkuchikopi-av says:

      Season three? Why? Seemed just as funny as ever to me.

    • noturtles-av says:

      I think S3 was a bit of a step back (too much Kristen Schaal, not enough witch-skin hat), but it was still quite fun IMO.

      • ofaycanyouseeme-av says:

        One man’s too much Kristen Schaal is another man’s just the right amount of Kristen Schaal

    • sd32232323322-av says:

      I agree— Season 3 was such a disappointment compared to 1 and 2. Najda’s character was the same in every episode— she was just angry in every scene. Definitely not as fun and interesting a Seasons 1 and 2.

  • memo2self-av says:

    292 words into the article, the answer to the headline is revealed.

    • tesseracht-av says:

      Literally the last thing in the article. It’s pretty clear nobody actually learns journalism anymore.

  • bat-marlowe-av says:

    Maybe Jackie Daytona will do a little bartending at the new club.

    • specialcharactersnotallowed-av says:

      Why would a vampire nightclub have a normal human bartender?

    • ofaycanyouseeme-av says:

      I’m sorry, this is a show about vampires and witches and zombies. Why would a show like that have a normal human man, albeit one so charming and amazing as Jackie Daytona?

  • thesauveidiot-av says:

    That’s it. That’s the tweet. 

  • boggardlurch-av says:

    I’ll be interested to see if it’s as (I feel) implied above that the season starts with a time jump to them coming back.I’d hoped for at least SOME time dealing with the characters apart. I guess they could rush through it or even just ignore the end of the last season for the most part, but the show’s not usually that sloppy.

    • m0rtsleam-av says:

      Most likely they will be returning home at the beginning of the first episode, with flashbacks to show how each of them fared during their time apart, no? With so few episodes a season, I’d hate for them to waste too many getting the band back together. Though I do hope Colin goes through all stages of Energy Vampire adolescence throughout the season.

  • mivb-av says:

    If you need your supernatural WWDITS fix before the season comes out, I highly recommend “Wellington Paranormal” on the CW (in the US). It’s made by the same folks and basically a really fun take-off on COPS.  Great dry humor and worth checking out.  You can watch it free on the CW website or app.

  • cyrils-cashmere-sweater-vest-av says:

    the Jersey Pine BarrensI would pay money for a Sopranos reference. 

    • badkuchikopi-av says:

      Maybe they’ll find a russian guy missing part of his head but still in a zombie like state.More likely it’s a Jersey Devil episode?

      • cyrils-cashmere-sweater-vest-av says:

        Jersey Devil makes sense. Just have Paulie and Christopher stagger by in the background.

    • caranthir-av says:

      I’m not sure it’s still a thing, but I had a friend that was big into sketchy EDM “underground” scenes that talked about how they would go to huge parties out in the Pine Barrens back in the mid aughts.

  • jaywantsacatwantshiskinjaacctback-av says:

    YEEEESSSSS!

  • theeuglycasanova-av says:

    Such an odd show at times. Glad season 4 is on the horizon.

  • soveryboreddd-av says:

    Maybe I shouldn’t have read this article considering I just started watching this show today.  Spoilers and all.

  • butterbattlepacifist-av says:

    Sorta feels like a cop-out to not follow through and explore them all being separated abroad, but I have a lot of faith in the creative team on this amazing show, so I’m sure it’ll be great
