FX has shared a full trailer for the upcoming second season of Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement’s hit vampire comedy series, What We Do in the Shadows. I love this show, and this next season looks like it’s going to be hilarious. The trailer is filled with funny footage that teases the kind of situations that these vampires are going to find themselves in.
The trailer shows us that Guillermo is going to become a vampire hunter, and it also offers our first footage of guest stars Craig Robinson and Haley Joel Osment.
What We Do in the Shadows is “a documentary-style look into the daily (or rather, nightly) lives of four vampires who’ve “lived” together for hundreds of years in Staten Island. After an unexpected visit from their dark lord and leader, the vampires are reminded of what they were initially tasked with upon their arrival in New York City over a century ago — total and complete domination of the New World. But what exactly is the best way to go about achieving said domination? A vérité camera crew follows along as the vampires set out to answer this query.”
The series stars Matt Berry (The IT Crowd), Kayvan Novak (Early Man), Natasia Demetriou (Year Friends), and Harvey Guillen (The Magicians). Mark Hamill is also supposed to make an appearance this season, which will be cool! You can also expect to see Dave Bautista, Evan Rachel Wood, Danny Trejo, Wesley Snipes, Paul Rubens, and Tilda Swinton, who have all previously played vampire roles.
What We Do in the Shadows season 2 premieres on FX on April 15, 2020.
