FX’s favorite undead housemates are taking a break from filming Season 6 ofWhat We Do in the Shadowsto celebrate the birthday of one of their own -Matt Berry. The man behind the dapper Renaissance vampire, Laszlo, turned 50 today and, as a gift, he took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a new photo from the set with the Staten Island gang, plus his good friend Sean (Anthony Atamanuik). Everyone’s gathered in the Vampire Residence around a cart topped with adorable little dollsdepicting the inhabitants, including Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), and The Guide (Kristen Schaal), surrounding Laszlo as he prepares to dig into his cake and gifts.
Berry’s birthday bash comes as the series nears its final goodbyes. Season 6will be the lastfor the Emmy-winning vampire comedy fromJemaine Clement, and filming has been humming along thus far, withGuillénpreviously sharing that cameras areno longer rolling around the mansion’s exterior. Considering his update came as the series was over halfway through its production schedule,it may not be long before everything wraps for the last timeand the series eyes a release date.
Before viewers bid farewell to the vampires and their beloved familiar, Season 6 promises a big finale tosend them off on a high note. The friends have a lot to confront following Guillermo’s vampiric transformation and de-transformation once he realizes that being a creature of the night has its downsides. With his seasons-long desire finally addressed, viewers willsee a new side to the familiaras he searches for a new purpose and re-aligns himself. Part of that means working out wherehe stands with his master and friend Nandor, as well as the other vampires in the mansion, after his big decision. Along the way, the show will more than likely welcomeanother wave of major guest starsto play a part in the show’s final journey as has been the case in previous seasons.
