While attending ET, Simms and Proksch dive into key moments from Season 4, Baby Colin’s terrifying turn of events and where things go from here. [Warning: spoilers for the season 4 finale of What We Do in the Shadows.]
However, I have not the remotest idea, I found this season very charming. All things considered, part of it could have been that we shot two seasons in a single year, both under COVID programs. Also, I think there was, in a positive way, a bit of seasickness that set in and made us somewhat dumber and live it. You know how you get sticky when you haven’t fallen asleep? To be sure, imagine a whole year of that. I feel like that made this season what it was.
