What We Do in the Shadows season 3 hits Binge on September 3

From the witty mind of Taika Waititi, the third season of What We Do in the Shadows is just days away. Here’s what we know.

You’ve either landed on this page because you’re bloodthirsty for new episodes of What We Do in the Shadows, or you want to know more about this weird and wonderful series.

Good news for all parties, the third season is just days away, with a double episode premiere on Binge* on September 3, while seasons one and two are also available on the Aussie streaming platform in case you wish to sink your teeth in for the first time.

Now a little about the show. The side-splittingly funny comedy horror is based on the 2014 movie of the same name by acclaimed New Zealand director Taika Waititi, in partnership with fellow Kiwi, actor Jemaine Clement.

The duo also starred in the film and delighted fans when they briefly reprised their roles as New Zealand vampires Viago von Dorna Schmarten Scheden Heimburg and Vladislav the Poker in the first season of the television series back in 2019.

But the show, which is co-produced by Waititi and Clement, focuses on a host of new vampires entirely, following the nightly escapades of Staten Island vampire roommates Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Laszlo (Matt Berry) and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) as they navigate the modern world with their human familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén).

With the first two seasons receiving favourable reviews, the show has already been renewed for a fourth season ahead of its season 3 premiere.

What to expect from season 3 of What We Do in the Shadows

Season 3 will have 10 episodes, airing weekly on Thursdays on Binge.

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.

According to an official synopsis, this season the vampires are “elevated to a new level of power and will encounter the vampire from which all vampires have descended, a tempting Siren, gargoyles, werewolf kickball, Atlantic City casinos, wellness cults, ex-girlfriends, gyms and supernatural curiosities.

“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?”.
