Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer “What We Do in the Shadows” stars Matt Berry, Mark Proksch, Kristen Schaal, Kayvan Novak (via Zoom), executive producer and showrunner Paul Simms, and director Kyle Newacheck appeared in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday to preview (and celebrate) the sixth and final season of the Emmy-nominated FX comedy. The Footage: Before the panel, FX screened the entire first episode of Season 6, which introduced Michael Patrick O’Brien (“Saturday Night Live”) as Jerry.
Who is Jerry, you ask? He’s the former roommate of Nandor (Novak), Laszlo (Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) and Colin Robinson (Proksch), who they all remember with great affection as the “vampire’s vampire” — until they realize that they’ve all forgotten to wake him from the deep slumber that he entered in 1976.
Jerry’s return plunges everyone into an existential crisis, as he upends the dynamic between the vampires by reminding them of who they used to be.
Meanwhile, we learn where Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) has been living since he walked away from vampirism and as Nandor’s familiar, and the vampires begin to question why, exactly, they’ve agreed to let a human film crew follow them around for so long. What We Learned: Simms said that when they realized Season 6 would be the end of the series, they decided to lean away from the tropes that many shows fall into when they’re on the home stretch. “We just wanted to make a really funny season that was not too sentimental or trying to tie up too many threads,” he said, before immediately backtracking.
