Gather your familiars! What We Do in the Shadows was renewed for season 4 way back in the fall, and now it’s finally here today with two episodes airing tonight on FX. It’s almost like this show about vampires can’t die or something. New episodes drop on FX at 10 p.m. ET, but if you can’t make that, they’ll also be on Hulu the next day. This news is so good, an energy vampire couldn’t even try to drain me.

Nick Grad, president of original programming for FX entertainment, said during his presentation at the Television Critics Association’s 2021 Summer Tour that “fans can’t seem to get enough of What We Do in the Shadows and FX is ready to feed that appetite by setting up the series for a fourth season. Our thanks to the extraordinary job by the creative team, cast, and crew, who keep making a great show better each season.” You may have also noticed that there’s now an aftershow hosted by Harvey Guillén called After the Shadows. They’re really obsessed with this show at FX and, like, same, so….
Not much else is known about season 4. The mockumentary series didn’t really skip a beat during the pandemic, unlike many of our favorite shows, so they’ve successfully aired three seasons in 2019, 2020, and 2021 without a hitch. The only change is the first two seasons aired in the spring and the third season moved to fall—and now the fourth is in the summer. But IMHO that no one asked for, the later months of the year are more appropriate! What We Do in the Shadows is a perfect harbinger of Spooky Season™️.
According to Deadline, (former) executive producer Scott Rudin is no longer associated with the production following allegations of widespread and systemic abuse. Rudin made a statement in April 2021 that he is “stepping back from my film and streaming projects” in addition to his more well-known and infamous work as a Broadway producer, but he did not say anything specifically about What We Do in the Shadows.
The real creative force behind What We Do in the Shadows, though, is Taika Waititi, who is still a part of the series as an executive producer. Reservation Dogs, another instant hit comedy from Waititi on FX, also received an early season renewal. Although Sterlin Harjo is the Reservation Dogs showrunner, the network is clearly investing in Waititi a lot, as it has done previously with auteurs like Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, American Crime Story, American [fill in the blank] Story) and Noah Hawley (Fargo, Legion). Frankly, Waititi’s world is a pretty good one to live in!
