What We Do in the Shadows will kick off its Farewell Tour on Thursday at San Diego Comic-Con with a panel discussion featuring stars Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak, Mark Proksch and Kristen Schaal, along with executive producer/writer Paul Simms and EP/director Kyle Newacheck. The panel, which runs from 3:30-4:30 p.m. PT in Hall H, will include a sneak peek at a new episode from the upcoming season.

What We Do in the Shadows documents the nightly exploits of vampire roommates Nandor (Novak), Laszlo (Berry), Nadja (Demetriou) and Colin Robinson (Proksch) as they navigate the modern world of Staten Island with the help of their former familiar and current human friend, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), as well as their vampire bureaucrat acquaintance, The Guide (Schaal).

After a very brief stint as a full-blown vampire, Guillermo is re-evaluating his life. Who is he if not a familiar who will do anything to please his Master in hopes of one day being turned into a vampire? Meanwhile, the vampires are re-evaluating, too. When their former roommate reappears after a 50-year nap, they realize how little they’ve done in half a century — not one goal accomplished, not one dream pursued, not one part of the New World conquered (except for their street and part of Ashley Street).

In the upcoming final season, Nandor, Nadja, Laszlo, Colin and Guillermo will enter the workforce, visit New Hampshire, go to a human dinner party, fête The Baron and conjure a demon — all while trying to find their place and their purpose in this crazy, mixed-up world.

Last week, What We Do in the Shadows earned eight Primetime Emmy nominations for its fifth season including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Berry) as well as nominations for Writing, Costumes, Production Design, Picture Editing, Sound Mixing and Stunt Coordination. The show drew five Emmy noms last year and has had 29 during its run, winning once for Best Costumes in 2022.

Jemaine Clement, Sam Johnson, Sarah Naftalis, Yana Gorskaya, Taika Waititi, Garrett Basch and Eli Bush serve as executive producers along with Simms and Newacheck. What We Do in the Shadows is produced by FX Productions.
