FX’s “What We Do in the Shadows” Has Already Been Renewed for a Fourth Season; Watch New Season 3 Trailer!
Before the third season even premieres, FX has announced today that their hilarious vampire mockumentary series “What We Do in the Shadows” has been renewed for a fourth season!
Season 4 will debut sometime in 2022.
“Fans can’t seem to get enough of What We Do in the Shadows and FX is ready to feed that appetite by setting up the series for a fourth season,” said Nick Grad, president of original programming for FX entertainment. “Our thanks to the extraordinary job by the creative team, cast and crew who keep making a great show better each season.”
Season 3, meanwhile, premieres with two episodes on September 2.
Check out the brand new Season 3 trailer down below!
Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guillén and Mark Proksch star in “What We Do in the Shadows,” based on Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi‘s 2014 film.
The series follows the lives of four vampires living together in Staten Island, New York. The second season saw vampire Nandor’s human familiar Guillermo struggling with the realization that he’s a born vampire killer, part of the legendary Van Helsing family of slayers, while “energy vampire” Colin Robinson has been growing stronger than ever before.
In Season 3, “After the shocking season two finale, we find the housemates in a panic about what to do with Guillermo after discovering that he is a vampire killer. This season, the vampires are elevated to a new level of power and will encounter the vampire from which all vampires have descended, a tempting Siren, gargoyles, werewolf kickball, Atlantic City casinos, wellness cults, ex-girlfriends, gyms and supernatural curiosities galore. Plus, Colin Robinson is turning 100. And Nandor, faced with his own eternal-life crisis, tries to inject his life with more meaning. Will he find love or is he destined to be an immortal bachelor with 37 ex-wives?”
The eight-episode limited series “Carrie” is headed to Prime Video later this year, a brand new adaptation of Stephen King’s iconic story from horror master Mike Flanagan.
Entertainment Weekly is previewing the upcoming series this morning with a handful of first look images that introduce us to Summer H. Howell’s Carrie White and more.
Mike Flanagan explains to Entertainment Weekly, “The only way to approach it was to build something new out of the ingredients of Carrie. Otherwise, there’s really no purpose in trying to retread ground that’s been so beautifully walked before.”
“The themes that Steve was talking about half a century ago of kindness versus cruelty, of empathy and bullying, and violence at school have become even more relevant today than he could have contemplated because of our relationship to technology and the degree to which violence encroaches on our high schoolers, especially in the United States,” Flanagan adds. “We had an opportunity to tell a story about a modern teenage experience that could use the seeds of these characters King created 50 years ago, but express them completely differently.”
Of particular note, Mike Flanagan teases in his chat with Entertainment Weekly that the series will spotlight additional characters who have their own telekinetic abilities.
Each of the show’s episodes will apparently open with the introduction of “a different, unique story of a different woman, somewhere else in the world and in time, coming to terms with their own abilities.” Flanagan teases, “Carrie’s specific place among that group of women is part of the real joy that we get to discover over the course of the season.”
The eight-episode limited series is expected to premiere on Prime Video this Fall.
Here’s the official synopsis: “Misfit high‑schooler Carrie White (Summer Howell) has spent her life hidden away inside the walls of her home with her fiercely protective mother, Margaret (Samantha Sloyan). After her father’s sudden, untimely death thrusts her into the unforgiving ecosystem of public high school, Carrie is forced to navigate a viral bullying scandal that tears through her community, the relentless pressure and casual cruelty of the social‑media age, and the awakening of mysterious telekinetic powers that rise alongside her adolescence.”
Mike Flanagan serves as writer and showrunner in addition to directing four episodes of the eight-part series. Amazon MGM Studios produces. Stephen King executive produces.
“Carrie” stars Summer Howell as Carrie White, with Samantha Sloyan as Margaret White, Siena Agudong as Sue Snell, Alison Thornton as Chris Hargensen, Joel Oulette as Tommy Ross, Josie Tota as Tina, Arthur Conti as Billy, Thalia Dudek as Emaline, Amber Midthunder as Miss Desjardin, and Matthew Lillard as Principal Grayle.
