'What We Do in the Shadows' EP Says Guillermo's Family Will Return in Season 5 (Exclusive)
, the Emmy-nominated FX mockumentary following four vampires and their familiar living in Staten Island, just closed out another captivating and darkly funny installment of the series with a surprisingly emotional season 4 finale. Already renewed for seasons 5 and 6, the series is set to begin production on new episodes in the next few days as fans eagerly await to see what happens with Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) and Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) after executive producer Paul Simms and the creative team took big swings with the characters in season 4. Among them was seeing Guillermo, a descendant of Van Hesling, officially coming out as gay while navigating his complicated relationship with Nandor, who spent most of season 4 in search of a long-term companion. Guillermo’s sexuality was addressed during a midseason episode, when the familiar visited his family and was forced to reveal that despite being related to a notorious vampire killer, he actually wants to become one. “In season 5, we have a really good episode where we’ll see Guillermo with his family again,” Simms says, adding that they’re “always expanding and opening that world” fans have been given glimpses of from season to season. While speaking to ET, Simms and Proksch opened up about key moments from season 4, Baby Colin’s unexpected maturity and where things go from here.
