FX Renews What We Do In The Shadows For Third Season
FX has officially renewed its critically acclaimed mockumentary comedy What We Do in the Shadows for a third season. The announcement comes after the show’s second season received widespread praise for its unique blend of supernatural absurdity, witty writing, and eccentric characters. Fans of the series can now look forward to more adventures featuring everyone’s favorite Staten Island vampires.
Based on the 2014 cult film by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, the TV adaptation has carved out its own identity while staying true to the film’s offbeat humor. The series follows four vampire roommates—Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, and energy vampire Colin Robinson—as they navigate the challenges of immortality in modern-day New York. Their misadventures often lead to hilarious situations, from local vampire council politics to awkward run-ins with human neighbors.
The renewal highlights FX’s confidence in the series, which has become one of its standout comedies. Season 2, in particular, earned rave reviews for episodes such as “On the Run,” where Matt Berry’s Laszlo reinvented himself as “Jackie Daytona,” and “The Trial,” which featured cameos from a host of vampire actors across film and television.
Ratings for the show have steadily grown, with the second season averaging higher viewership than the first. Its success on streaming platforms like Hulu has also contributed to its growing popularity, making it a cross-platform hit for FX.
Critics have praised the show for its sharp writing, clever world-building, and pitch-perfect performances. Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Mark Proksch, and Harvey Guillén have each brought unforgettable characters to life, creating one of the most distinctive ensemble casts on television today.
FX’s renewal ensures that audiences will get to see even more bizarre and laugh-out-loud storylines in Season 3. The show’s creators have hinted at expanding the supernatural universe even further, promising new creatures, new conflicts, and of course, more of the awkward hilarity that has defined the series.
For fans, this announcement is both a relief and a reason to celebrate. What We Do in the Shadows has built a loyal following, and the news of a third season means that the undead antics will continue to entertain for years to come.
With its mix of parody, clever storytelling, and endearing characters, the third season of What We Do in the Shadows is poised to keep the show’s momentum alive, cementing its status as one of television’s funniest and most original comedies.
