Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak and Natasia Demetriou star as the three classic vampires, along with their familiars and other members of the supernatural world, and the show has also included a huge amount of guest stars and cameos including Fred Armisen, Sofia Coppola and Jim Jarmusch in the last season alone.

If you're a fan of What We Do In The Shadows and want to make sure you catch the new season when it airs, here's how to do that around the world.

How to watch What We Do In The Shadows season 5 in the US

There are two ways to watch What We Do In The Shadows season 5: on cable or on streaming.

For cable, you'll need FX, which is on Hulu with Live TV, Fubo, YouTube TV, DirecTV Stream or Sling TV (with its Hollywood add-on pack) if you don't have a cable plan that offers the channel. After the first two episodes air on Thursday, July 13 at 10 pm ET/PT, each new episode will air on that day at that time until the entire 10-episode run is out.

If you'd rather watch WWDITS using a streaming service, you'll find Hulu is the streamer for you, with each episode landing the day after its FX air date. That means the first two episodes on Friday, July 14 and one each Friday from then.
