What We Do In The Shadows Season 2: Plot Details

The series follows the three vampires Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Lazslo (Matt Berry), and Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), who have been roommates for hundreds and hundreds of years, dabbling in everything from werewolf battles to painting the town red.

By the end of the first season, a significant complication flashed up. Guillermo, who always wanted to become a vampire, always toiled as Nandor’s familiar, turned out as a descended from Abraham Van Helsing, the world-renowned vampire hunter. The second season will continue these loose ends of the threads.



The first season of the series explored the mundane, daily issues of the vampires. However, in the second season, they have to deal with living in today’s world. The second season will focus on how the characters will end up in the crowd.

What the co-creator has to say about What We Do In The Shadows Season 2?

The co-executive producer and writer Stefani Robinson expressed her views about the second season in an interview for IndieWire. She shared that before all the vampire-killing stuff, she would like to explore Guillermo as a human being. According to her, he’s very much a person that lives in the present day with vampires and delving into his real world, and how he balances the two, what lies he has to say to his family.



She also shared her enthusiasm about the relationship and the characters that will take place, especially with Nandor.
