What We Do in the Shadows: Everything You Need to Know for Season 2 – CBR – Comic Book Resources

The first season of What We Do in the Shadows hit FX last year with little fanfare but managed to build a sizable audience through word of mouth. Based on the 2014 film of the same name, the series is a mockumentary that follows a group of vampires who live in Staten Island.

Instead of trying to modernize vampires, the series offers a satirical take on the classic idea of them. They have powers like flight and immortality but still have restrictions like not being able to go into sunlight. Isolated from other vampires and barely interacting with the human world, theyre stuck facing theproblems oftheir supernaturalyet suburban lives.
