A recap of the final episode’s major moments

The episode cleverly played with the concept of endings, offering multiple conclusions that parodied classics like Newhart, The Usual Suspects, and Rosemary’s Baby, as Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, Colin Robinson, and Guillermo face the departure of the documentary crew that had been chronicling their lives.

It perfectly blends humor with heartfelt moments, providing a satisfying yet open-ended conclusion for fans. It’s also quite different than your standard finale, and it helped make it one of the standout episodes of the series.

What’s next for the cast and creators?

Unfortunately, there has been no word yet about any spin-offs or continuations, but fans remain hopeful. In a recent interview, executive producer Taika Waititi expressed surprise at the show’s longevity and joked that it has gone on too long as it is.

  • Harvey Guillén (Guillermo de la Cruz): Guillén will appear in the upcoming film Blue Beetle, where he plays Dr. Sanchez, adding a superhero feature to his diverse portfolio.
  • Matt Berry (Laszlo Cravensworth): Berry continues to lend his distinctive voice to animated series, including the recent Disenchantment on Netflix, where he voices Prince Merkimer, and you can hear him as the Mr. Handy robot in the adaption of the Fallout series.
  • Natasia Demetriou (Nadja of Antipaxos): Demetriou stars in the British comedy series Ellie & Natasia, which showcases her comedic talents alongside co-creator Ellie White.
  • Kayvan Novak (Nandor the Relentless): Novak reprises his role as the voice of Brains in the upcoming animated feature Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget, set to release in 2025.
  • Mark Proksch (Colin Robinson): Proksch is known for his role in the crime drama series Better Call Saul, where he played Daniel Wormald.

While What We Do in the Shadows has concluded, the possibility of future spin-offs or special episodes remains open. The finale’s open-ended nature leaves room for potential returns to the vampire household, keeping the door ajar for more supernatural adventures.

For now, fans can revisit all six seasons of What We Do in the Shadows, which are available for streaming on Hulu.
