What We Do In The Shadows Season 6 Wraps Filming As Lead Star Pens Message On Show's End

Harvey Guillén reveals that What We Do in the Shadows season 6 has wrapped filming. Created by Jemaine Clement, the mockumentary depicts a group of vampires residing in Staten Island, New York, and follows their present-day encounters. Guillén portrays Guillermo de la Cruz, the human familiar of Nandor (Kayvan Novak), and the rest of the cast includes Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Mark Proksch, and Kristen Schaal. Since premiering on FX back in 2019, What We Do in the Shadows has garnered praise, receiving multiple Emmy Award nominations for Comedy Series.

In a recent Instagram post, Guillén revealed that What We Do in the Shadows season 6, its final stretch of episodes, had officially wrapped filming. Check out what he said below:

Reflecting on the show, and his time playing Guillermo, he shared a compilation of various behind-the-scenes clips. In the caption, Guillén expressed gratitude, noting that he was able to spend his birthday with the cast and crew after shooting ended.

How Will What We Do in the Shadows End?

Chairman of the network, John Landgraf, previously explained that What We Do in the Shadows had a suitable run. Because the show was afforded a finale, rather than canceled on the heels of season 5, it should be able to complete any ongoing storylines, including Guillermo’s. After years of wanting to be turned, Guillén’s character soon realized that being a vampire came with moral challenges. In “Exit Interview,” he proved incapable of killing/feeding, and decided to revert back to his human life.

Despite the range of emotions associated with completing a series, Guillén has teased excitement for What We Do in the Shadows season 6, and that even more of his character will be explored in the coming episodes. It’s worth wondering how Guillermo’s relationship with the vampires will evolve, especially after the season 5 finale, though he and Nandor seemed to be on good terms. Other characters in What We Do in the Shadows, including Laszlo (Berry) and Nadja (Demetriou), will likely have their arcs come to a satisfying end as well.

What We Do in the Shadows season 6 will have a lot to look forward to, as the popular comedy nears its end. With filming having wrapped, anticipation will begin to increase, and Guillén’s latest post reveals just how much fun the whole process was for him and all those involved.

What We Do in the Shadows is a mockumentary-styled comedy series that follows the exploits of four vampires and a familiar living in Staten Island in the twenty-first century. Unrelated to the film of the same name, the show’s vampires attempt to acclimate to the modern world but tend to find themselves lost often, leaving familiar-hoping-to-become-a-vampire Guillermo de la Cruz to pick up the pieces in the wake of their accidental destruction.
