What We Do in the Shadows
FX
SEASON PREMIERE
10/9c
The fifth season of the rollicking vampire comedy picks up some two weeks after Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), the human “familiar” who yearns to be undead, begged his vamp buddy Derek (Chris Sandiford) to turn him. Did it work? Laszlo (Matt Berry) senses something’s off in “Gizmo,” but he, Nandor (Kayvan Novak), and Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) still find it too silly to imagine their meek slave could ever rise to their level. Besides, the consequences of a familiar turning to a vampire who’s not his master would be dire indeed. Gulp. While that intrigue swirls, the vamps enjoy an outing to a Staten Island mall, and in the second episode, the guys paint the town red — not in that way — with their human buddy Sean (Anthony Atamanuik), who wonders why they don’t drink like everyone else. Back at home, Nadja discovers a hex could be responsible for her recent streak of bad luck — including the sorry state of her alter-ego dolly.

What We Do in the Shadows
FX
10/9c
What would a Staten Island Pride parade be without the participation of “literally the gayest things on the block?” So says Charmaine Rinaldi (Marissa Jaret Winokur) of her vampire neighbors, who are more than happy to help her husband Sean (Anthony Atamanuik) reach out to the “LGBTQ-LMNOP” demographic in his race for city comptroller. Laszlo (Matt Berry) promises to deliver a “knock your socks off” float—when he isn’t busy investigating Guillermo’s (Harvey Guillén) stubbornly regressive vampire transformation. Meanwhile, Nandor (Kayvan Novak) goes out of this world trying to gain his familiar’s attention, and in the wildest subplot, Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) and her doll have a Freaky Friday moment that gets out of control. What else is new?

Making a welcome return appearance to boost Colin’s profile: Saturday Night Live veteran Vanessa Bayer as Evie, his counterpart who feeds on people’s emotions. Elsewhere in the comical land of the undead, Nandor (Kayvan Novak) befriends a fellow gym rat (humorist Robert Smigel) whose Judaism captures the lonely vamp’s fancy.

10/9c
We’ve always had to accept as a given (despite alternative vampire lore) that these madcap Staten Island vampires show up on camera, as this terrific supernatural comedy’s mock-documentary format dictates. But the fallout is much more extreme when local-TV news cameras invade the neighborhood following a water-main break, and Nandor the Relentless (chyroned as “Nandor De Laurentiis”) overshares on live TV to a reporter. Have they been accidentally outed? While the vamps go into damage-control mode, sidekick Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) is otherwise engaged, trying to say goodbye to his family of long-time vampire hunters before he irrevocably turns.

What We Do in the Shadows

Hairy flying frogs and a delicious celebrity cameo spice up the latest chapter of the rollicking supernatural comedy, which takes us someplace we hope never to visit again: a creepy Urgent Care facility for the undead, when half-vampire “familiar” Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) suffers a mutilating injury while trying to fly. Though hardly the maternal type, Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) volunteers to take “Gizmo” to the doctor, which alarms the half-human should she discover he was turned by a vampire other than his master Nandor (Kayvan Novak). An equally funny subplot finds energy vampire Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) drained of his own energy when he suddenly becomes fascinating to mortals.

The Island of Dr. Moreau has nothing on the bizarre freak show spilling out of the laboratory of Laszlo (Matt Berry), who’s been experimenting with half-human/half-vampire Guillermo’s (Harvey Guillén) DNA to try to learn why the familiar’s transformation is such a bust. The creatures he’s inadvertently created are as repulsive as they are hilarious—in other words, just another day in supernatural Staten Island. Elsewhere, Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) hopes that by teaching American customs—as only she interprets them—to her newfound “little Antipaxos” community might help reverse the hex under which she’s been living. An eccentric “magic woman” named Helen (Reno 911’s Kerri Kenney-Silver) may be able to help as well.

How to cheer up a despondent vampire like Laszlo (Matt Berry)? In a protracted funk after failing to find a scientific cure for half/human half/vamp Guillermo’s (Harvey Guillén) sluggish transition, Laszlo becomes the unresponsive recipient of a comical roast organized by toastmaster Nandor (Kayvan Novak) and his loyal mate Nadja (Natasia Demetriou). (Her “You might just be a Laszlo Cravensworth” riffs are particularly choice.) But the jokefest takes a more serious and literal turn when unsavory truths about the Staten Island vamps are inadvertently revealed to the visiting Baron (Doug Jones), and soon no one’s laughing. Especially Guillermo.

FX
SEASON FINALE
10/9c
The fifth season of the outrageously funny supernatural comedy has been building to a Grand Guignol climax—and that’s what we get in pivotal back-to-back episodes that confront two ongoing storylines: Guillermo’s (Harvey Guillén) uneasy transition into vampirehood, fearing the day his sire Nandor (Kayvan Novak) will learn of his betrayal; and the Guide’s (Kristen Schaal) growing feeling of isolation as her adopted vampire gang continues to take her for granted. The fun begins when all are invited to a weekend at the grand estate of the legendary Perdita Morrigan, “the grande dame of vampiric high society in the New World,” who dates back to the Mayflower. All, however, is not as it seems, and the fallout in the finale may change the dynamics in the Staten Island haunted house forever.
