After airing in the US back in September, vampire mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows is back for a third season to serve up the spooky energy we know and love.

Based on the film of the same name from Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, the show follows Staten Island vampires Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Laszlo (Matt Berry) and Colin (Mark Proksch), who share an apartment together in Staten Island.

“After the shocking season two finale, we find the housemates in a panic about what to do with Guillermo after discovering that he is a vampire killer,” FX announced in an official synopsis.

“This season, the vampires are elevated to a new level of power and will encounter the vampire from which all vampires are descended, a tempting Siren, gargoyles, werewolf kickball, Atlantic City casinos, wellness cults, ex-girlfriends, gyms, and supernatural curiosities galore. Plus, Colin Robinson is turning 100.

“And Nandor, faced with his own eternal-life crisis, tries to inject his life with more meaning. Will he find love, or is he destined to be an immortal bachelor with 37 ex-wives?”

If you can’t wait to get your teeth into the new series, good news: the whole season is also available to watch on BBC iPlayer right now.
