FX Orders 10 Episodes of “What We Do in the Shadows” TV Series!
Before directing the immensely entertaining Thor: Ragnarok, Taika Waititi brought us What We Do in the Shadows, a horror-comedy he co-wrote and co-directed with Jemaine Clement, as well as starred in. The hilarious film centered on a group of vampires living together in a flat, instantly becoming a horror fan favorite.
As we recently told you, FX ordered a pilot of a potential What We Do in the Shadows series, and we’ve just learned tonight that they’ve ordered it to series!
FX has ordered a 10-episode first season of “What We Do in the Shadows,” a half-hour comedy series set in the world of the film. Waititi and Clement created the series, which is aiming to premiere in Spring 2019.
“Set in New York City, the series follows three vampires who have been roommates for hundreds and hundreds of years,” Variety reports. “It will star Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak, Natasia Demetriou, and Harvey Guillen.”
Clement, Waititi, and Paul Simms will executive produce with Scott Rudin, Eli Bush, and Garrett Basch. Last we heard, Clement wrote the pilot and Waititi directed.
Today, Prime Video announced that Emily Mortimer (Relic), Manny Jacinto (The Acolyte), and Thomasin McKenzie (Victorian Psycho, Eileen) have joined the cast of Season Three of Fallout.
The hit series begins production on its third season this month in Los Angeles.
The series based on the video games tells “the story of haves and have-nots in a world in which there’s almost nothing left to have. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the gentle denizens of luxury fallout shelters are forced to return to the irradiated hellscape their ancestors left behind—and are shocked to discover an incredibly complex, gleefully weird, and highly violent universe waiting for them.“
The series stars Ella Purnell (Yellowjackets, Sweetpea), Aaron Moten (Emancipation, Father Stu), Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Moisés Arias (The King of Staten Island), Frances Turner (The Boys), Annabel O’Hagan (Rent Free), and Dave Register (FBI).
Aaron Paul (Anything But Ghosts) has also joined the cast for Season Three, as previously announced.
Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Graham Wagner serve as executive producers, creators, and showrunners.
