A Genuine Family Amidst Bickering and Squabbling

The long-awaited wish of one of the show’s main characters will be granted in the upcoming fifth season of the immensely popular comedy, which is expected to be the most successful season of the show yet.
Recapping the Last Season and Teasing the Upcoming Season
Since it has been over a year since we’ve seen the bloodsuckers that call New York their home, some viewers may want a refresher course on where we last saw the vampiric buddies and what they’ll be up to in the upcoming season. This is a complete cast and character guide for What We Do in the Shadows Season 5, which you can use to familiarize yourself with the “fucking guys” featured in the forthcoming season.
Harvey Guillén as Guillermo de la Cruz
Harvey Guillén has had a successful career in voice acting, and he was most recently heard in the film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, which received a lot of positive feedback from critics. Before that, Guillén gained widespread recognition for his performance as Guillermo in the film What We Do in the Shadows.
Guillermo de la Cruz is not a vampire, unlike most of the other characters in the series. Instead, he is a servant known as a familiar to Nandor the Relentless, a 700-year-old vampire played by Kayvan Novak. Nandor needs to be made aware of what he is doing. Guillermo is responsible for all of the responsibilities that Nandor and the other vampires of their home on Staten Island, such as making repairs, paying the group’s taxes, and bringing potential victims to the mansion so the vampires can feed on them.
Kayvan Novak as Nandor the Relentless
Nandor, portrayed by Cruella de Vil star and English actor Kayvan Novak, is the oldest of the four vampires on Staten Island. According to rumors, Nandor is around 700 years old, which would make him one of the most senior vampires seen in the show. That would indicate that Nandor is more knowledgeable and has a larger vocabulary. Nevertheless, he is the character in the show with the least knowledge about the contemporary world. He has almost no idea what is going on.
Matt Berry as Laszlo Cravensworth
Because of his roles on Toast of London and The IT Crowd, comedic fan in Great Britain is familiar with the talents of actor Matt Berry, who hails from the actor’s home nation. Matt Berry has reached a larger audience than ever for a good cause. This is mostly due to his fantastic performance in the role of Laszlo Cravensworth in the film What We Do in the Shadows. Laszlo, the second occupant of the vampiric residence in Staten Island, has spent the last few centuries married to his adoring wife, Nadja (Natasia Demetriou).
Natasia Demetriou as Nadja Cravensworth
Natasia Demetriou’s portrayal of the fiery Nadja in the film What We Do in the Shadows immediately catapulted her to the entertainment industry’s forefront. Nadia’s bite caused Laszlo’s transformation into a vampire, and ever since then, the couple has been (mostly) content in their marriage.
Mark Proksch as Colin Robinson
In a show where each and every character has the potential to be a fan favorite, the role of Colin Robinson, played by Mark Proksch, is the one that fans adore the most. At first glance, Colin Robinson appears no different from any normal human being. Despite this, he is one of the most influential and widespread vampires. Since Colin Robinson is an energy vampire, he does not consume human blood. Still, he feeds on human emotions, namely the sense of boredom.
Kristen Schaal as The Guide
Most of Kristen Schaal’s fame stems from her role as a voice actress in various animated series and films. In What We Do in the Shadows, she portrays The Guide, a mysterious character who offers advice and guidance to the other vampires.
With an ensemble cast of talented actors and a hilarious premise, What We Do in the Shadows Season 5 promises to deliver yet another side-splitting and entertaining season for fans worldwide. Don’t miss out on the vampire shenanigans as they continue to navigate the challenges of contemporary life in the Big Apple.
