BBC Two Sets UK Premiere Date For ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Season 2

BBC Two has set a June premiere date for Season 2 of critically acclaimed vampire comedy What We Do In The Shadows it has been announced.

Based on the feature film by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ documents the nightly exploits of vampire roommates Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Laszlo (Matt Berry) and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) as they navigate the modern world of Staten Island with the help of their human familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén).

After an unexpected visit from their dark lord and leader, Baron Afanas, the vampires are reminded of what they were initially tasked with upon their arrival in Staten Island over a hundred years ago – total and complete domination of the New World. But what exactly is the best way to go about achieving said domination? The vérité camera crew follows along as the vampires set out to answer this query.

Season two sees the vampires try to find their way in a world of human Super Bowl parties, internet trolls, an energy vampire who gets a promotion and becomes drunk on power and of course, all the ghosts, witches, necromancers, zombies and shadowy cloaked assassins who roam freely in the Tri-State area. Is Guillermo destined to be a vampire or a vampire hunter? Or maybe just a familiar for the rest of his life?

In the opening episode, titled “Resurrection”, Nadja and Laszlo’s new familiar poses problems for an increasingly anxious Guillermo. Meanwhile, the vampires enlist the services of a local necromancer.

US network FX recently renewed the comedy for a 3rd Season, with Nick Grad, President, Original Programming, FX Entertainment commenting “We’re incredibly happy that critics and audiences are all in on Shadows. Week in and week out, the producers, writers and our amazing cast continue to make one of the funniest and best comedy series on TV.”

What We Do In The Shadows‘ Season 2 premieres Thursday, 11th June 2020 at 10pm on BBC Two.
