Final season of 'WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS' to go out with a "bang" says series star Harvey Guillén

 

FX Network

All good things must come to an end…even if they are blood sucking vampires. The sixth and final season of FX’s ‘WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS’ is finishing up production. Recently, Harvey Guillén — who plays Guillermo de la Cruz in the horror comedy — teases that the beloved vampires in the Staten Island residence would be ending things with quite a "bang." He also details a bit of tension between his character and Kayvan Novak's Nandor the Relentless, especially since Guillermo has given up on his dreams of becoming a full-fledged vampire.

In an interview with TVLine, Guillén teases that they are developing a "very expensive" season. He said: “I think we end with a bang. I would say we’re building up to something very expensive… We’re in a different world.” On the other hand, Matt Berry — who plays Laszlo Cravensworth — says that the sixth season will feature a lot of "stunts" and highly anticipated "guest stars," though there would be "no goblins."

Season 5 saw Guillermo become a vampire but then change his mind in finding out that taking human life, really wasn’t for him. In order to restore Guillermo's humanity, Nandor kills their friend Derek (Chris Sandiford), who is later brought back to life by a necromancer. But while everything is seemingly back to where it was, Guillermo's sudden decision may build up extreme tension between him and Nandor, considering the latter had to kill a friend so he'd stay human. Guillén told TVLine:

“Just because you want something bad enough doesn’t mean that it’s meant for you… and now the only thing that kind of kept you together was this want and hope of getting what you wanted. Did you build a foundation of friendship? Or was it built just on a business transaction?”

There is still no exact release date for Season 6 yet, but it is anticipated to air on FX later this year. Seasons 1 to 5 of What We Do in the Shadows are streaming on Hulu.
