There are some actors who are not only talented but also true go-getters. One such person is Keke Palmer, who has built an impressive career as a singer, actress, producer, and all-around creative force. She has a couple of projects still left to come out this year, and one upcoming project that has people especially buzzing. That project has just received an exciting update. More actors have joined Palmer in the show's cast!

It's titled The 'Burbs, a mystery comedy series that was announced to be in the works last year. It will stream on Peacock and is described as an upcoming modern TV show adaptation of the 1989 black comedy film of the same name, which starred Tom Hanks in the leading role. When The 'Burbs was first announced late last year, Palmer was the only actor attached. Besides starring in the series, she is also signed on as executive producer.

Exclusive: Peacock’s upcoming mystery comedy series The ‘Burbs has set Max Carver, Erica Dasher, Georgia Leva and Kathleen Kenny in recurring roles.

They join the previously announced cast of Keke Palmer, who also executive produces, Jack Whitehall, Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, and Kapil Talwalkar.

The ‘Burbs is a contemporary series adaptation of the 1989 Universal Pictures horror-comedy film of the same name, starring Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher and Bruce Dern. The series will shoot in Los Angeles at the same location as the original film, the backlot of Universal Studios Hollywood.

From Celeste Hughey, The ‘Burbs follows a young couple in present-day suburbia who have reluctantly relocated to the husband’s childhood home. Their world is upended when a new neighbor moves in across the street, bringing old...

The cast of What We Do in the Shadows was visibly sad when they realized they may be all together for the last time, appearing on stage at Disney FYC Fest at the DGA Theater. But as the sixth and final season of the FX series demonstrated — as well as a slew of alternate endings they screened at the panel — they've gotten pretty good at handling goodbyes.

Showrunner Paul Simms, who parodied the famous finale moments in The Usual Suspects, Rosemary’s Baby, and Newhart in the alternate endings, revealed the additional iconic last-moments reference they were really trying to make happen but couldn't make work.

"The one we talked about most besides these was the ending of M*A*S*H, where he leaves in the helicopter and he spelled out 'Goodbye' in the rocks," Simms said. "We thought, budget-wise, how would we do that? Then for a while we...

The What We Do in the Shadows vampires are taking one final bite at the Emmys.

Gold Derby has confirmed that FX is submitting nine members of the bloodthirsty mockumentary ensemble for Emmy consideration in the comedy acting categories.

Undead roommates Kayvan Novak (Nandor), Matt Berry (Laszlo), and Natasia Demetriou (Nadja) are being entered as leads, while Mark Proksch (Colin Robinson), Harvey Guillén (Guillermo), and Kristen Schaal (The Guide) will contend for supporting. Steve Coogan, Doug Jones, and Alyssa Limperis will be submitted for their guest roles.

What We Do in the Shadows was created by Jemaine Clement and executive-produced by Clement, Paul Simms, Sam Johnson, Sarah Naftalis, Yana Gorskaya, Kyle Newacheck, Taika Waititi, Garrett Basch, and Eli Bush. A spin-off of the eponymous 2014 film written and directed by Clement and Waititi, the series followed a den of vampires ensconced on Staten Island and struggling with both the quotidian and the supernatural.

As revealed at Toy Fair earlier this month, Neca‘s latest series of Toony Terrors toys is dedicated to “What We Do in the Shadows.”

Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja (with Nadja doll), Colin Robinson (with Baby Colin), and Guillermo have been modeled in the style of classic Saturday morning cartoons.

Each 6″ scale figure is individually packaged on a blister card with a cutout backdrop.

Due out in September, the set of five is available for $92.99.

Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Mark Proksch, and Harvey Guillén star in the hit vampire mockumentary show.

Based on Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi‘s 2014 film of the same name, the FX series debuted in 2019 and came to an end with its sixth and final season this past December.

Keke Palmer has built a career across multiple genres, but there is one aspect of acting she has avoided.

In a conversation with The Independent, Palmer discussed her hesitation toward nudity in film and television. “Just because I’m so shy and, you know, embarrassed,” she said. “And to know that people are going to be able to have [those scenes] forever? I could never have the confidence to do something like that! I’m not that bold.”

Palmer has often been recognized for her humor and sharp comedic timing. Despite this, she described a different side of herself. “On a deep level, I think I’ve always been the kind of person that’s felt very lonely or had these big emotions,” she said. “And I always say that people who are considered comedians, or people that make people laugh, they’re not necessarily seen as serious. Usually, though, they’re...

Keke Palmer will be starring in and executive producing a Peacock series adapted from the iconic comedy thriller The 'Burbs. The original film was released in 1989 and featured Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher in the leading roles.

Variety has revealed six new additions to the cast of the The ‘Burbs reboot series. Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense), Danielle Kennedy (Matlock), Rj Cyler (Power Rangers), Justin Kirk (Weeds), Kyrie McAlpin (Will Trent), and Randy Oglesby (Nothing to Lose) will be joining the series as recurring guest stars. It is currently unclear how many episodes they will each appear in.

Joe Dante’s dark comedy The Burbs will become a TV show, with the remake headlined by Keke Palmer and Jack Whitehall. More here.

A little lost in the back catalogues of both Tom Hanks and director Joe Dante is the dark comedy The Burbs. It was sold as a particularly dark comedy, released in the slipstream of Hanks’ big breakthrough hit, Big. Middling critical reactions and modest box office followed, and then – over time – the movie has attracted a growing cult audience. Arrow Video has reissued it on physical media, too.

Now though, the film is getting a television remake in the US, and, well, it’s hard not to shrug the old shoulders a little. The male lead for the new The Burbs is set to be Jack Whitehall, a man who’s put together a growing collection of movie roles in recent years, without really thriving in any of them.

The Peacock streaming service has given a straight-to-series order for The Burbs, a contemporary series adaptation of the 1989 movie of the same name (which starred Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher). A few months ago, it was announced that Keke Palmer (Nope) is set to star in and executive produce the series – and now, Deadline has revealed that Palmer is being joined in the cast by Jack Whitehall (Jungle Cruise), Julia Duffy (Newhart), Paula Pell (Girls5eva), Mark Proksch (What We Do In The Shadows), and Kapil Talwalkar (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist).

Celeste Hughey is writing and executive producing the series. Set in present-day suburbia, The ‘Burbs follows a young couple, with Palmer playing the wife, returning to the husband’s (Whitehall) childhood home. Their world is upended when new neighbors move in next door, bringing old secrets of the cul-de-sac to light, and new deadly threats shatter the illusion of their quiet little neighborhood.

FX chairman John Landgraf explained why the network decided to bring What We Do In The Shadows to a close with season 6 of the supernatural comedy series. The FX series follows four vampires and their exhausted familiar sharing a home on Staten Island among other creatures of the night as they hide among everyday humans. Inspired by Taika Waititi's 2014 mockumentary comedy of the same name, FX's series was developed by the movie's co-director Jemaine Clement and stars Kayvan Novak, Harvey Guillen, Natasia Demetriou, Matt Berry, and Mark Proksch.

Despite the hilarious vampire comedy being a continued hit, What We Do In The Shadows season 6 brought the Staten Island vampire's story to a close. However, despite the decision confusing many fans, John Landgraf revealed why the network decided to end the comedy during FX's 2024 TCA panel, which was attended by Screen Rant. The chairman explained that the network had seen...

As far as comedy TV shows in the last ten years go, it's hard to find one more beloved than "What We Do in the Shadows." Premiering on FX in 2019, the series was based on the movie of the same name by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement. Yet, as good as some things are, they must inevitably end.

The "What We Do in the Shadows" season 6 finale served as the series finale, with the vampires saying goodbye after more than 60 episodes and over five years on the air. The decision was made before the season started, however, so it's not as though this came as a surprise to any of the creatives involved, nor for any viewers who stay tuned into the news.

Generally speaking, the show documented the nightly exploits of vampires Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja...

After Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s 2014 movie What We Do in the Shadows received positive response from the audience and critics, they created a TV series of the same name.

The sci-fi mockumentary drama that revolves around a vampire universe debuted on the FX network in 2019. The series, which was executive-produced by Paul Simms finally concluded with season six on December 16, 2024.

Over the years, the show became massively popular among the fans, so much so, that the creators threw in an extra episode in the last season instead of their regular 10-episode-a-season rule for their loyal fandom.

This article contains spoilers for Season 6 of What We Do in the Shadows.

The time has come to bid farewell to our favorite vampires and one of the most inventive mockumentary-style TV shows: What We Do in the Shadows, created by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. Over the course of its six-season run, the series captivated fans worldwide, consistently hitting the mark with its offbeat humor and unforgettable storytelling. From the hilariously bizarre adventures of the Baron (Doug Jones) to the iconic trial episode featuring Danny Trejo and Evan Rachel Wood, the show delivered countless noteworthy moments. Even in its final season, the creators didn’t disappoint, giving us Guillermo’s career shift, Laszlo’s most ambitious invention yet, and so much more, culminating in a finale that was equal parts satisfying, nostalgic, hilarious, and fitting.

Before diving into the series finale, let’s revisit what made season 6 stand out.

After six hilarious seasons, FX's What We Do in the Shadows has ended. What started out as one of the best comedy films of the 2010s from Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement became a celebrated, Emmy-nominated series. The show, like the movie, followed some rather helpless vampires, this time on Staten Island, and while the likes of husband and wife Laszlo (Matt Berry) and Nadja (Natasia Demtroiu) are one of the wildest sitcom couples you'll ever see, and the droll Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) was actually the funniest character, the heart of What We Do in the Shadows was human familiar Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) and his desire to be just like his master Nandor (Kayvan Novak), a vampire who never sees Guillermo as his equals. For years, it looked like fans might get a romance angle for them, but instead, the series finale gave us something so much better.

Spoilers ahead for the finale of "What We Do In the Shadows."

"What We Do In the Shadows" is one of the best TV comedies of the past few years and an all-time great TV show based on a movie. For six seasons, it gave us delightful, weird, horny stories that looked at the dull immobility of immortality and mined comedy from the fact that the series' centuries-old vampires are so carefree due to their existence that they basically waste their lives away, oblivious of anything happening beyond their house and uninterested in anyone but themselves. In a sense, it's the anti-"Frieren: Beyond Journey's End," because rather than look at the fleeting nature of time and find melancholy in it the way that anime does, "What We Do In the Shadows" simply has its cast of lovable buffoons ignore all that willingly.

What We Do in the Shadows, the vampire-mockumentary series based on the film of the same name, aired its series finale on Monday night, and it undoubtedly closed things out on a high note. Unlike other beloved sitcoms like Seinfeld and The Office, which ended on relatively weaker seasons, the sixth go-around for What We Do in the Shadows saw one terrific episode after another; the cast and crew clearly understand that it’s always better to leave people wanting more.

Much like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Fargo," and "M*A*S*H," it didn't take long for the "What We Do in the Shadows" TV series to justify its existence, step out of its movie counterpart's shadow, and turn into one of the best comedies on television. For six seasons, the show has followed the misadventures of a group of horny and buffoonish vampires who had long given up their mission to conquer the new world and simply lead static lives of hijinks, as well as the quest of their familiar Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) to become a vampire despite discovering he has Van Helsing blood in him. Season 5 even had Guillermo finally turning into a creature of the night, only to realize that it was not for him and transform back into a human.

Nandor and The Guide are figuring out what they want next from their afterlives in the What We Do in the Shadows series finale. Season 6 of the hit vampire mockumentary has seen the main group of vampires continue their wacky antics all while Guillermo has sought to figure out his life beyond being a familiar. Laszlo and Colin Robinson teamed to create a Frankenstein-like monster, Nadja and Nandor impede on Guillermo's workplace job, and their long-lost roommate, Jerry, resumed his plans for conquering the New World.

The What We Do in the Shadows series finale, entitled "The Finale", picks up directly after the previous episode, "The Promotion", in which Guillermo left his office job after being mistreated and accepted Nandor's invitation to become his vigilante partner. The finale, however, reveals that the documentary is coming to an end,...

It's over! After six very funny, very silly seasons, the vampire sitcom What We Do In The Shadows has come to an end, and the cast are ready to reminisce. “Six seasons, man.

I’s incredible.”

Harvey Guillén played Nandor's long-suffering familiar Guillermo, who spent the the bulk of the show fruitlessly waiting for his master to turn him into a vampire before trying to chart a new path for himself in the final two. What We Do In The Shadows was mostly dumb fun, but the relationship between Guillermo and Nandor gave it a heart. “The show has made people feel good, and that’s our job. We created an escape, and we did that for six seasons,...

Not that long ago, “What We Do in the Shadows” showrunner Paul Simms had a casual conversation with his son — one that could have easily been cast aside as the common, curious musings of a young, growing mind. Instead, it got the writer and producer thinking, once again, about the peculiar perspectives guiding his FX vampire comedy. “My son said to me, ‘You’re 56,'” Simms remembered during a past interview with IndieWire. “He’s like, ‘So you’ve lived five decades?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah, more than that.’ And he goes, ‘Doesn’t it get boring?'”

“I didn’t know how to answer,” Simms said. “First, I gave the dad answer, which is there’s something interesting about each age. But then I thought back on the times of my life when I’d think, ‘This is...

[This story contains major spoilers from the What We Do in the Shadows series finale, “The Finale.”]

Nothing ever really changes at the “Vampire Residence” in Staten Island, New York.

The creaky, dusty floorboards and musty tapestries of the Victorian dwelling never get a makeover. Vampire familiar-turned-bodyguard-turned-private equity bro, Guillermo de la Cruz (Harvey Guillén), never fully realizes what it is to live as a blood-sucking creature of the night. The many goodbyes and gut-hollowing deaths endured over the six-season run of FX’s What We Do in the Shadows always end with the roommates of that shabby old house reuniting time and again for hijinks, petty arguments and farcical life-threatening quandaries.

Season six of the Emmy-winning show ended Monday wrestling with that idea, the cyclical nature of living — especially when you’ve been doing it for hundreds of years — as it tied the bow on a much-beloved 61-episode series run.

Spoiler Alert: This post contains spoilers from Season 6, Episode 11 of “What We Do in the Shadows,” “The Finale,” which premiered Monday, Dec. 16 on FX.

The Staten Island vampires of “What We Do in the Shadows” have closed their coffins for good.

The final episode of Season 6 was the series finale of the FX comedy, which was originally a spinoff of the 2014 mockumentary written and directed by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. Like so many irreverent sitcoms, it ended without many lessons learned and the promise of an eternity of hijinks to come, even after the cameras are turned off.

The episode begins with Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), the human familiar of the house, lamenting that the documentary team has shot enough footage and won’t need to visit the vampires’ home anymore. While the eternal bloodsuckers — Guillermo’s master Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch...

What We Do in the Shadows Season 6 is coming to an end on Monday (December 16).

The show is one of FX’s most beloved series, with an incredible 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The series follows the nightly exploits of vampire roommates Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) as they navigate the modern world of Staten Island with the help of their former familiar and current human friend, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) as well as their vampire bureaucrat acquaintance, The Guide (Kristen Schaal).

Better Call Saul is the brilliant follow-up to Breaking Bad, following Jimmy McGill's rise to Saul Goodman. The show featured many callbacks and characters from its predecessor while creating some of the most funny, brilliant, and heartbreaking characters of its own. Each character either crossed paths with Jimmy or furthered his prospects of becoming the criminal lawyer that he's so well known for in Breaking Bad.

Some of the characters from Better Call Saul were self-contained within the show, but still had stories that continued into the Breaking Bad storyline. Others were one-offs in the season to demonstrate inept criminal behavior or morality compared to the other characters they interacted with. Either way, they stood out in Better Call Saul as unique additions to an already well-heeled show.

Taika Waititi, the film director known for projects like Jojo Rabbit and Thor: Love and Thunder, says that the TV show What We Do in the Shadows has gone on "for far too long," but also says he's proud of the show he played a huge role in creating. And all we can say to that is: Make up your mind, Taika!

In celebration of the show's sixth and final season, Waititi spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the show's unique world and characters. And while some have argued that the series' premise has grown a bit tired, it still managed to stay fresh enough with man fans, thanks to its original narratives, extensive cameo list, and some of the best special effects on television.

"This went on for far too long, but I'm proud of it," Waititi joked. "I thought that the movie, when we were making the movie, I...

One part The Office, one part Dracula, and several parts the 2014 What We Do In The Shadows movie from Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, this charming FX sitcom has been chugging along for the past six years, reliably producing season after season of quality comedy with a horror twist. What We Do In The Shadows occasionally earned a viral moment or a spike in popularity, but mostly it sank or swam by doing what sitcoms always did: introducing a great cast of memorable characters, finding hilarious people to play them, and then making merciless fun of them episode after episode, year after year.

The only minor difference is that most of the characters here happen to be vampires: ancient lunkhead Nandor (Kayvan Novak), quick-to-anger Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), smooth-talking Lazslo (Matt Berry), the boring-on-purpose energy vampire Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), and Nandor's long-suffering familiar Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), who is more competent...

With just two episodes left in the series, What We Do in the Shadows continues to approach its last season with an air of finality. The season has been addressing some of the more important relationships of the show, like the complicated dynamic between Nandor (Kayvan Novak) and Guillermo (Harvey Guillen). It has also been taking on topics like Laszlo’s (Matt Berry) parent-child relationships with his father and Colin (Mark Proksch), as well as Colin’s deep sense of loneliness and desperation for connection. Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) has had significantly less to do than her housemates (up until her iconic fight scene in the season's ninth episode), but the season has still tried to emphasize her curiosity about humans.

For six seasons, What We Do in the Shadows has brought fans to tears with its hilariously unhinged shenanigans and shockingly crass and dry humor. Season after season, as the documentary crew has filmed and observed, it's clear that the Staten Island vampires, Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry), and Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), are content with their way of life, which viewers and especially Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), their familiar, know is riddled with absurdity, foolishness and ignorance.

What We Do in the Shadows star Doug Jones opens up about early plans for his character's lethal exit from the series.

Speaking to ScreenRant, Jones discussed not only the unexpected longevity of What We Do in the Shadows as a series, but of his character Baron Afanas specifically. "I will say that my time on this show has gone longer than we ever thought it would," Jones noted. "I was never meant to be on the show this long. At the beginning, I was hired for the pilot episode in Season 1, to do that grand entrance in the attic... It kind of sets up that I had sent them to North America to conquer the New World, and they haven't done it yet. So, that was kind of the setup, that then they were going to find a way to get rid of me in the next episode."

Skarsgård made an appearance in the latest outing of the FX series, which has only two episodes to go now before it wraps up its sixth and final season.

When he asks if anyone has a question, a vampire raises his hand, only to get his skull crushed by Cravensworth’s Monster. When The Baron notes that Skarsgård also had his hand raised, he timidly replies,...

What We Do in the Shadows star Doug Jones discusses his reaction to meeting True Blood's Alexander Skarsgård on set.

Speaking to ScreenRant, Jones opened up about the experience of meeting Alexander Skarsgård — who played the vampire Eric Northman on True Blood — on set for a surprise appearance in an episode of the final season of What We Do in the Shadows. Jones noted that he was "tickled pink that we were going to get a pretty stormy vampire to show up in our goofy comedy show." Jones continued, "And when he walked onto the set, he was, like, 6'5", he's a little taller than me, and strappingly handsome, and everybody's going like, ‘[In awe] Oh.’ But he pulled the funny out in a way that we did not expect, I didn't expect. So, getting to banter back and forth with him was delicious for me."

It's hard to find an episode of What We Do in the Shadows that isn't as funny as the plaque.
