Wellington Paranormal
SERIES PREMIERE
the-cw
9/8c
SUNDAY: Using a Cops-style mock-doc format, this hilarious spinoff of the original What We Do in the Shadows follows two clueless police officers (Karen O’Leary and Mike Minogue) as they encounter a body-swapping demon, plantlike aliens, zombie cops, partying ghosts, a she-wolf and, yes, a vampire—all part of a day’s (and often night’s) work in Wellington PD’s top-secret paranormal unit. Sample dialogue: “So a dog spoke to you?” “Yes, and it was very rude.” And funny.
