WWDITS Cast Answers Burning Questions About ‘Perfect’ Series Finale

What we do in the shadows It may be over forever, but the cast members will always have the memories and some mementos they took away from the set.

“I drank a lot” Harvey Guillenwho played Guillermo, said exclusively Us weekly before the series finale on Monday, December 16. “I took a lot of (Guillermo’s) sweaters. … I’m a big collector of things and I collected some of the lamps that were in Nandor’s room and that are now in my guest house that go with the vibe. For me it was the perfect combination.”

Mark Prokschwho played energy vampire Colin Robinson, said he occasionally saved things that he thought fans might want in the future or that could be donated to charities. But he also kept a few things for himself, including the locket, complete with a picture of vanessa bayerThe character of Evie, who appears in the finale. (Colin briefly dated Evie, a fellow energy vampire, in season 1.)

“I ended up giving Vanessa that locket,” Proksch, 46, said. Usjoking that most of the vampire decor doesn’t really match the aesthetic of their home. “Stuffed beavers and vampire imagery don’t really suit what I have going on.”

Kavyan Novakwho played Nandor, took his character portrait home, while Kristen Schalalias The Guide, kept Guillermo the frog and the portrait of Pablo Rubens which appeared in season 1 when the late actor appeared on the show.

While fans are devastated by it WWDITS is over for good, the cast is satisfied with how the finale concluded. (The documentary crew stopped filming the vampire squad, but Nandor and Guillermo agreed to continue working together as crime fighters.)

“I think it’s a great way to summarize all these character stories. And something fun for the public to see,” said Guillén, 34. “It was a perfect ending to a perfect series.”

Proksch agreed, noting that he believes this was the ideal time to end the show. “The danger we can fall into is that a program lasts beyond its useful life, keeping it on life support,” he explained. “This is a show where we all have fun working together. The scripts are really fun. “You can get complacent and outstay your welcome just because you’re enjoying all this other stuff, so I think ending it after 6 seasons is a perfect place to end it while still making people laugh.”

Some fans are still holding out hope that the gang will return in a movie, a la Entourage either Sex and the citybut the cast is divided on whether that should happen (and Proksch noted that there was already a What we do in the shadows 2014 film, which inspired the show).

Novak, 46, said the chance of another movie being produced is “tiny to none,” but Schaal, also 46, is thinking positively. “There will definitely be a movie. You heard it here first! she said Us.

Guillén, for his part, would also be interested in a film, but not immediately. “We could definitely revisit these characters in a couple of years and see what everyone is up to,” he said. “I agree with that.”

However, one thing Nandor and Guillermo won’t be willing to do is have a romantic relationship. The finale definitely crushed the dreams of those fans who were hoping the two would kiss before the series ended. Once again, the cast is divided on how these two feel about each other, with Schaal saying she wanted to see the duo kiss and Guillén expressing support for the more platonic way things ended.

“At the end of the day, they ended up together,” he said of the ending, which showed Guillermo and Nandor descending into the depths in Nandor’s newly modified coffin. “We have to normalize having a relationship with friends of the same sex that is not sexual and normalize that you can be a friend and have love as a man for another man, and in general have love for them and want to be in their lives and take care of them. and I want to wish you all the best, and not in a romantic sense. And that’s okay.”

Guillen noted that although the kiss never came, fans got exactly what they wanted: Nandor and Guillermo riding off into the sunset.

“I am the first to say yes to queer love,” Guillén added. “But I think his love is there. They ended up together. You got what you wanted! They ended up together in a coffin, literally together in the coffin, plummeting to a secret lair. They ended up being partners. If you really love someone, isn’t that what you want? Just have them in your life every day, and that’s it. They ended up together and I’m happy with the way things ended.”

The six seasons of What we do in the shadows are available to stream on Hulu.
