After Last Week’s Shocking Episode, “What We Do in the Shadows” Season 3 Ends This Thursday [Trailer]
This article contains spoilers.
Last week’s episode of FX series “What We Do in the Shadows” was a pretty major one, featuring the apparent true death of one of the show’s main characters for the very first time. As “energy vampire” Colin Robinson, Mark Proksch has consistently been a show-stealing series highlight, but alas, it looks like Colin Robinson has sadly shuffled off this mortal coil.
The penultimate episode of Season 3 revealed the heartbreaking news that energy vampires only live for 100 years, and since Colin Robinson was celebrating his 100th birthday during the episode, well, that meant that it was something of a series finale for the character. Colin Robinson died in bed, and needless to say, the episode indicated there’s no coming back.
In the wake of that shocking episode last week, the Season 3 finale of “What We Do in the Shadows” comes to FX this Thursday night, and we’ve got a short promo trailer for ya today.
October 28th’s season finale is titled “The Portrait.” In the episode…
“The housemates grieve the loss of one of their own.”
Preview “The Portrait” below. And don’t forget that if you miss it when it airs on Thursday night, the episode (and the entire season) will be available the very next day via “FX on Hulu.”
