The half-hour episodes follow the vamps' misbegotten quest to take over the "new world," starting at the municipal level.įresh off his stop at SXSW, Waititi got on the phone with Thrillist to discuss the ever-expanding purview of Shadows. Others occupy the house as well: Nandor's human familiar Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), desperate to get his fangs, and "energy vampire" Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), who feeds by boring the hell out of people through dull conversation. They've all lived (very) long lives - Nandor was an Ottoman soldier, known as Nandor the Relentless - but now exist in a sort of collegiate cohabitation situation. The all-new What We Do in The Shadows - executive produced and directed in part by Waititi - centers on roommates Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), and Nadja (Natasia Demetriou). Since its debut, there's already been a New Zealand-set spinoff about clueless police officers called Wellington Paranormal, and now there's an FX show that starts its season on March 27 which checks in with another group of night-dwellers who live on New York's Staten Island.
Waititi plays the neatnik Viago Clement is the lascivious Vladislav. The film finds a documentary crew following a group of vampire flatmates in New Zealand, who are concerned with blood-sucking, yes, but also household chores and their social standing among the undead. Perhaps the more surprising world that's expanded under his purview is that of What We Do in the Shadows, the beloved mockumentary he co-directed and stars in with Flight of the Conchords' Jemaine Clement that was released in the United States in 2015. There's Marvel, of course, as the director of the widely acclaimed Thor: Ragnarok. Taika Waititi has been a part of multiple cinematic universes throughout his career.
