‘What We Do in the Shadows’ left fans on a cliffhanger

What We Do in the Shadows first premiered in 2019. The FX series is based on Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s 2014 mockumentary film by the same name. While What We Do in the Shadows has always delivered laughs, season 3 took things to another level.

In the season’s penultimate episode, fans learned that energy vampires only live to be 100 years old. Colin celebrates his final birthday, unaware that it will be his last while Laszlo tries to make everything perfect. After Colin’s death, the rest of the vampires are left shattered.

In the season 3 finale, Nandor, Guillermo, and Nadja decided to leave Staten Island and go their separate ways. Laszlo however decides to stay behind to take care of a regenerated baby Colin Robinson. Now the question remains, how will the vampire group come together again when the series returns with season 4?

‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Season 4 premiere date

What We Do in the Shadows Season 4 premieres Tuesday, July 12 at 10 p.m. ET on FX. New episodes of the series will also be available for streaming on Hulu the following day. The first two episodes of season 4 will drop on the premiere date, with one new episode following every week. Episodes 1 and 2 are titled “Reunited” and “The Lamp.” Season 4 is anticipated to consist of 10 episodes in total, with the season finale currently scheduled for Sept. 6, 2022.

According to FX’s press release, What We Do in the Shadows Season 4 will feature “such terrifying locations as the secret supernatural Night Market, the Jersey Pine Barrens and a wedding altar, and with more strange beasts, surprising guest stars and tap dancing than ever.”
