WWDITS Cast Answers Burning Questions About ‘Perfect’ Series Finale

What We Do in the Shadows it can be over foreverbut his cast members will always have the memories – and a few souvenirs they took from the set.

“I took a lot,” Harvey Guillenwho played Guillermo, just say Us Weekly before the series finale on Monday night, December 16. “I took a lot of (Guillermo’s) sweaters. …I’m a big collector of stuff, and I collected some of the lamps that were in Nandor’s room that are now in my guest house which match the mood. For me, it was a perfect match.”

Mark Prokschwho starred as energy vampire Colin Robinson, said he occasionally kept things he thought fans might want or could donate to charity. But he also kept a few things for himself, including the locket – along with a picture of it Vanessa Bayercharacter, Evie — who appears in the finale. (Colin briefly dated Evie, a fellow energy vampire, in season 1.)

“I ended up giving that locket to Vanessa,” Proksch, 46, told Usjoking that most of the vampires’ decor doesn’t really jive with the aesthetic of his home. “Stuffed beavers and vampire pictures don’t really go with what I have going on.”

Kavyan Novakwho played Nandor, took home a portrait of his character, while Kristen Schaalaka The Guide, keeps the frog Guillermo and the portrait of Paul Reubens which appeared in season 1 when the late actor appeared on the show.

Although fans spoil that WUDITS is over for good, the cast is satisfied with the way the finale ended things. (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 wrap up all these character stories. And something fun for the audience to watch,” said Guillén, 34. “It was a perfect ending to a perfect series.”

Proksch agreed, noting that he thought this was an ideal time to end the show. “The danger you can fall into is keeping a show going longer than its lifespan, keeping it on life support,” he explained. “This is a show where we all have fun working together. The scripts are very funny. You can get complacent and overstay your welcome just because you’re enjoying all these other things, so I think ending it after 6 seasons is a perfect place to come overstayed his welcome while he was still making people laugh.”

Some fans still hope that the gang will return in a movie, à la Entourage or Sex and the Citybut the cast is split on whether that should happen (and Proksch noted that a What We Do in the Shadows movie in 2014, which inspired the show).

Novak, 46, said the chances of another film happening are “slim to none,” but Schaal, also 46, thinks positively. “There will definitely be a film. You heard it here first!” she said Us.

Guillén, for his part, would also be down for a film – just not right away. “We could definitely revisit these characters in a few years and see what they’re all up to,” he said. “I’m on board with that.”

One thing Nandor and Guillermo won’t do, however, is have a romantic relationship. The finale shattered the dreams of those fans who hoped that the two would share a kiss before the series ended. Once again, the cast is split on how these two feel about each other, with Schaal saying she wants to see the duo smooth over and Guillén expressing support for the more platonic way it came things over.

“At the end of the day, they ended up together,” he said of the ending, which showed Guillermo and Nandor falling into the depths in Nandor’s new coffin. “We have to normalize having relationships with non-sexual same-sex friends and normalize that you can be friends and have love as a man for another man, and generally have love for them and wanting to be in their lives and take care of them. for them, and for wishing them all the best, and not in a romantic sense. And that’s right.”

Guillén noted that even though the kiss never came, the fans kind of got exactly what they wanted: Nandor and Guillermo riding off into the sunset.

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