What We Do in the Shadows, which has been the recipient of widespread critical acclaim during its first season, is based on the 2014 horror comedy film written, directed by, and starring Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi.

Clement and Waititi, who are known for critically acclaimed projects such as Flight of the Concords and Thor: Ragnarok, respectively, serves as executive producers on the series.

What We Do in the Shadows follows 400-year-old vampires living on New York’s Staten Island.

Novak stars as Nandor The Relentless, the de-facto leader of the group.

Additionally, Berry stars as Laszlo and Demetriou stars as Nadja — two vampires who have been with Nador since their pre-Staten Island years.

Rounding out the cast is Guillermo (Guillén) — a human — who serves as an intern-like character for the vampires, hoping to one day become one himself.

Lastly is Colin Robinson, played by Proksch, who is a day-walking energy vampire that has been the breakout character of the acclaimed first season.

All five of the series leads are set to return for the second season, which has yet to be given an official release date.
