paulvdb September 22, 2018 Share September 22, 2018 FX Networks Bringing "What We Do in the Shadows" and "Archer" to New York Comic Con Quote Sunday, October 7, 2018 / 12 p.m. - 1 p.m. in the Hammerstein Ballroom Based on the classic cult film of the same name, FX presents an exclusive screening of its new vampire comedy What We Do in the Shadows, followed by a spirited discussion with Executive Producers Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi and Paul Simms. Set in Staten Island, What We Do in the Shadows follows three vampires who have been roommates for hundreds and hundreds of years. Following the screening, fans will have a chance to hear directly from the producers about the unending ennui of everyday immortal life that mere humans take for granted. The series will debut on FX in Spring 2019. 1 Link to comment
formerlyfreedom December 21, 2018 Author Share December 21, 2018 The Most Anticipated TV of 2019 Quote “What We Do in the Shadows” FX Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi adapted their 2014 mockumentary into a half-hour small-screen series. Featuring a trio of vampires who have been around (and have been friends and roommates) for hundreds of years, the show balances comedic moments of them still struggling to adapt to life with the darker reality of their blood-thirsty urges. The film has a cult following, but Clement and Waititi are not set to star in the series version, so some of the intrigue comes from the unknown aspects. 4 Link to comment
formerlyfreedom February 4, 2019 Author Share February 4, 2019 We have an premiere date! There's more info about the season over at Deadline too. FX has set a March premiere date and unveiled the official trailer for What We Do In the Shadows, its new vampire comedy series. Based on the feature film of the same from Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, What We Do in the Shadows will premiere Wednesday, March 27 at 10 PM on FX. Created by Clement, the 10-episode series is a documentary-style look into the daily (or rather, nightly) lives of four vampires who’ve “lived” together for hundreds of years. In Staten Island. It stars Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guillén and Mark Proksch, who guest starred in the pilot before being promoted to series regular. 2 Link to comment

Mongo Like Candy March 26, 2019 Share March 26, 2019 I am SO looking forward to this, albeit with a little trepidation that the movie’s charm may not translate to an ongoing series. I do like the idea of an energy vampire sucking all the life force out of one’s cubicle (as if it had a lot to begin with). The movie has been broadcast frequently over the past two weeks, and I’ve only watched it a couple of times . . . 4 Link to comment

Would've made me feel like less of a putz for not being into "quality" TV. Maybe the Emmys have a blind spot towards FX? I mean, Archer won a few awards, but I don't think It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia has eer been nominated for anything. Link to comment

Vermicious Knid May 12, 2020 Share May 12, 2020 Interview with Mark Proksch. Colin's energy-sucking droning is mostly ad-libbed! Also some background. Quote As the season goes on, you’ll get a couple more little tidbits about his life — if they kept him in the edit. Like he was a music manager in the ’70s for rock bands. And there are moments where he talks about being in Hollywood in the ’30s and ’40s and ’50s, and possibly having some sort of role in the industry there. But overall, I would say it’s a blank slate. 1 Link to comment

Behind the scenes and even deleted scenes that they call Shadow Shorts. It really makes you believe episodes could easily be 45 minutes long. 4 2 Link to comment
Vermicious Knid July 2, 2020 Share July 2, 2020 FX Networks will be hosting panels with Archer and What We Do in the Shadows cast members during Comic-Con@Home.

Join us in raising a glass of regular human alcohol beer to the sharp-toothed cast – Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Kayvan Novak, Mark Proksch, Harvey Guillén – and the creative team for a spirited discussion hosted by special guest, Haley Joel Osment. 1 3 Link to comment

Lantern7 September 22, 2020 Share September 22, 2020 Before Outstanding Comedy was announced, they had some familiar faces express their love of each of the nominees. I cued up that bit to WWDITS. Needless to say, one of the fans should have been considered a given. #VivaGuillermo 2 Link to comment
