What We Do in the Shadows Ending "Unique": Proksch; Novak on Nandor

What We Do in the Shadows stars Mark Proksch shares that the finale "stuck the landing" and Kayvan Novak discussed what Nandor means to him.


Did we mention how much we love the Emmy Awards? Because if we need an update on what's ahead for Laszlo (Matt Berry), Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), Colin (Mark Proksch), Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), Nandor (Kayvan Novak), The Guide (Kristen Schaal), and their friends (and enemies) with the sixth and final season of FX's What We Do in the Shadows, it's probably one of the best places to be. On the red carpet ahead of the 76th edition of the ceremony, Proksch teases "mischief" between the "odd couple" of Colin (Proksch) and Laszlo (Berry) before teasing that the series finale is "one of the more unique endings" that's been shown on television, adding that they "stuck the landing." Following that, Novak was in Nandor mode for the first part of his interview before slipping back to being Novak to share what portraying Nandor has meant to him.

Here's a look at what Proksch and Novak had to share about what's ahead with the final season.

What We Do in the Shadows Final Season: New Vamp, Doc Crew Involved

Heading into the show's San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2024 panel, Simms offered some very intriguing intel on what's to come – including Guillermo starting a new life and Colin looking to help Laszlo build a new familiar/best friend. During the SDCC 2024, Berry, Proksch, Schaal, Novak (via Zoom), Simms, and director Kyle Newacheck were on hand to screen the first episode of the final season and tease what's still to come. The three big takeaways? We're introduced to our vamps' original roommate, Jerry (Michael Patrick O'Brien) – and let's just say that his reawakening (they forgot to wake him since 1976) has an impact on the house's dynamic. In addition, we learn where Guillermo's living now and what he's been up to. Finally – and especially interesting – the vampires begin calling into question the whole documentary thing.

Speaking of the documentary crew, Newacheck noted that the story of our usually unseen supporting cast "does get opened up towards the later end of the season in a very meta way that was fun to make." In fact, the director even had a chance to get in on the action. "I will say that I did get to play a director in the show at a certain point while I was directing the show, which was the most meta thing I've ever been a part of. So stay tuned, y'all. It's gonna get wild and weird," Newacheck added.

As an added bonus, you may have noticed at the opening that we mentioned Novak checked in via Zoom – but that wasn't quite right. Novak checked in as Nandor – and had a pretty graphic response when asked if Guillermo was going to come to terms with his feelings for Nandor. "I have to keep my voice down because Guillermo is in the next room, jacking off into his pillow," Nandor shared, saying to someone off camera who was supposed to be Guillermo, "What? No, I wasn't talking about you. Shut the fuck up!" Here's a brief clip of Nocak from today's panel:
