[Video] Doug Jones Returns as Baron Afanas on Tonight’s “What We Do in the Shadows”!
FX brings their hilarious half-hour series “What We Do in the Shadows” into the month of May with the first season’s sixth episode tonight, titled “Baron’s Night Out.” As the title suggests, the episode will see the return of the ancient vampire master Baron Afanas, who appeared in the pilot episode of the series but has been sleeping soundly in a casket ever since.
As we noted several weeks back, Baron Afanas is played on the show by none other than Doug Jones, and Jones is reprising the role for tonight’s brand new, Baron-centric episode!
In “Baron’s Night Out”:
The Baron awakens from his slumber and demands to experience the wonders of the New World in a night out in the town.
Jackie van Beek directed the new episode, which you can preview below.

Ralph Ineson and Corey Stoll Join ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Spinoff Series Starring Wyatt Russell
The small screen MonsterVerse is expanding with a “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” spinoff series centered on Lee Shaw (Wyatt Russell), and Deadline brings us the latest casting news.
Corey Stoll (Imperfect Women, Billions), Ralph Ineson (The Witch, The Fantastic Four: First Steps), and Nyasha Hatendi (Agatha Christie’s The Seven Dials, Casual) have signed on.
Pilou Asbæk (Salem’s Lot) and Millie Brady (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) also star.
Originally announced back in December, “Obi-Wan Kenobi” showrunner and “Monarch” executive producer Joby Harold will serve as showrunner on the untitled spinoff series.
The series will follow Colonel Lee Shaw, an American operative who in 1984 went on a secret mission behind enemy lines in an attempt to stop the Soviets from unleashing a horrific new Titan big enough to destroy the U.S. and turn the tide of the Cold War.
Wyatt Russell told Collider earlier this year, “you’ve got absolutely no fucking clue what to expect. I think people are going to expect one thing and be like, ‘Holy shit, this is not what I expected.’ It’ll go deeper into Lee’s experience after he came up, and being sort of put on ice, in 1982, and then what happens after that, and why he’s needed and the mission he goes on.”
