Unfortunately, What We Do in the Shadows will end with Season 6.
FX chairman John Landgraf explained very simply why the network has decided to bring the show to a close during FX’s TCA panel: “The show came to a natural conclusion. It was a great six year run.”
Show star Harvey Guillen addressed the show’s finale in an interview with The Playlist.
“Where do we go? That’s kind of the question. But sure enough, the writers have done an amazing job of putting us in a completely different environment and a different story and arc for the last season. So it’s hilarious. So I think the possibilities are endless,” he said.
He also got candid about how they found out.
“I’m glad that I knew beforehand because things shifted after last year and what was happening with the writer strike and the actor strike and all of that and things shifted and we didn’t know where the future of any show was going to be. Even though we knew we were picked out for seasons five and six, we weren’t a hundred percent sure going forward or even if we would get to start season six or continue,” he reflected.
“So, when we were told the timing, it was a little off. We were told a day before Christmas Eve or something like that. It was like the week of Christmas. And we were pretty sure that in our gut we had a feeling that we’d go to seven because we were asked, ‘How do you feel about continuing?’ And at first we were like, ‘Well, after five, where do we go with that storyline?’ But hearing what six would look like, we were like, ‘Oh, you know what? Maybe there’s a possibility to continue. And if everyone’s O.K. and everyone’s happy with it…’ but everything happens for a reason and the way that we ended things, I think it’s going to be great. It’s going to be perfect. And I’m glad that I knew ahead of time so I could really enjoy these last few months filming and being with Kayvan. And that’s the one thing that’s so tragic is the person you’re so used to seeing every year, clockwork is now an ocean away.”
