The Premiere of What We Do in the Shadows Season 5: A Complete Cast and Character Guide

Introduction

With the premiere of the fifth season of the popular vampire mockumentary series What We Do in the Shadows on FX, the network is welcoming viewers worldwide to “New York City, New York City.” The plot of the television adaption, which is based on the film of the same name directed by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, revolves around four vampires and their familiarity with one another as they attempt to navigate the challenges of contemporary life in New York City.

The Vampiric Roommates

Harvey Guillén as Guillermo de la Cruz

Harvey Guillén has had a successful career in voice acting, and he was most recently heard in the film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, which received a lot of positive feedback from critics. Before that, Guillén gained widespread recognition for his performance as Guillermo in the film What We Do in the Shadows. Guillermo de la Cruz is not a vampire, unlike most of the other characters in the series. Instead, he is a servant known as a familiar to Nandor the Relentless, a 700-year-old vampire played by Kayvan Novak.

Kayvan Novak as Nandor the Relentless

Nandor, portrayed by Cruella de Vil star and English actor Kayvan Novak, is the oldest of the four vampires on Staten Island. According to rumors, Nandor is around 700 years old, which would make him one of the most senior vampires seen in the show. That would indicate that Nandor is more knowledgeable and has a larger vocabulary. Nevertheless, he is the character in the show with the least knowledge about the contemporary world.

Matt Berry as Laszlo Cravensworth

Because of his roles on Toast of London and The IT Crowd, comedic fan in Great Britain is familiar with the talents of actor Matt Berry, who hails from the actor’s home nation. Matt Berry has reached a larger audience than ever for a good cause. This is mostly due to his fantastic performance in the role of Laszlo Cravensworth in the film What We Do in the Shadows. Laszlo, the second occupant of the vampiric residence in Staten Island, has spent the last few centuries married to his adoring wife, Nadja (Natasia Demetriou).

Natasia Demetriou as Nadja Cravensworth

Natasia Demetriou’s portrayal of the fiery Nadja in the film What We Do in the Shadows immediately catapulted her to the entertainment industry’s forefront. Nadia’s bite caused Laszlo’s transformation into a vampire, and ever since then, the couple has been (mostly) content in their marriage. Over the course of her life, Nadja has been responsible for getting herself and her friends involved in many misguided plans, and she has virtually always been the mastermind behind these plans.

Mark Proksch as Colin Robinson

In a show where each and every character has the potential to be a fan favorite, the role of Colin Robinson, played by Mark Proksch, is the one that fans adore the most. At first glance, Colin Robinson appears no different from any normal human being. Despite this, he is one of the most influential and widespread vampires. Since Colin Robinson is an energy vampire, he does not consume human blood. Still, he feeds on human emotions, namely the sense of boredom.

What to Expect in Season 5

The long-awaited wish of one of the show’s main characters will be granted in the upcoming fifth season of the immensely popular comedy, which is expected to be the most successful season of the show yet. Since it has been over a year since we’ve seen the bloodsuckers that call New York their home, some viewers may want a refresher course on where we last saw the vampiric buddies and what they’ll be up to in the upcoming season. This is a complete cast and character guide for What We Do in the Shadows Season 5, which you can use to familiarize yourself with the “fucking guys” featured in the forthcoming season.

Conclusion
