FX has shared with us photos from the first two episodes of the forthcoming third season of “What We Do in the Shadows”, which returns next month.
The most notable addition to the cast is that of Kristen Schaal, who appeared as the Floating Woman in the first season. Now, Schaal looks to have an expanded role, being credited as “The Guide” in the new season of the vampire comedy.
Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guillén and Mark Proksch also star in “What We Do in the Shadows,” based on Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi‘s 2014 film.
The series follows the lives of four vampires living together in Staten Island, New York. The second season saw vampire Nandor’s human familiar Guillermo struggling with the realization that he’s a born vampire killer, part of the legendary Van Helsing family of slayers, while “energy vampire” Colin Robinson has been growing stronger than ever before.
In Season 3, “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. 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 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?”
