At the end of the last season, Latino familiar Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) saved Nandor, Nadja, Colin Robinson and Laszlo from certain death at the Nouveau Théâtre des Vampires. But after turning their captors to dust in a bravura, Buffy-like ambush, the group found out he was descended from Abraham Van Helsing, the infamous vampire hunter.
Season 3 begins with Guillermo’s fate in the balance after the undead quartet are inducted into the ranks of the Vampiric Council. Meanwhile, Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) celebrates his centenary: something which leads 758-year-old Nandor (Four Lion’s Kayvan Novak) to have a mid-life crisis and redouble his efforts at dating in the modern world.
Matt Berry is back as lusty English nobleman Laszlo Cravensworth, alongside Natasia Demetriou as Romani vampire Nadja. Plus viewers should anticipate some brilliant cameo appearances, given that Tilda Swinton, Wesley Snipes, Danny Trejo, and Evan Rachel Wood all featured in just one prior episode.

How to watch What We Do in the Shadows season 3 online in the US
The latest season of What We Do in the Shadows will debut on FX from Thursday, September 2 at 10pm ET / PT, with the first two episodes – The Prisoner and The Cloak of Duplication – broadcast back-to-back. Each of the remaining 8 episodes will be aired weekly at the same time, with the finale on October 28.
If you're already set up with a TV package that includes FX then you're good to go! But if you're a cord-cutter, we recommend Sling TV - specifically the Sling Blue package, which includes FX.
It usually costs a reasonable $35 per month, but currently offers even better value given the platform's special offer of only $10 for the first month.
Sling TV Blue also includes National Geographic, Discovery, AMC and SyFy, as well as plenty more. The following guide provides a full Sling TV price breakdown on its packages.
Hulu subscribers can also watch FX content: either live with a Hulu with Live TV plan (at $64.99 per month), or wait until a day after broadcast to watch it on Hulu’s $5.99 on-demand only plan. There are a few Hulu plans and prices to choose between; however, only the basic plan provides a whopping 30-day Hulu free trial.
Out of the country when season 3 of What We Do in the Shadow airs? Don’t worry. By downloading a VPN you’ll still be able to connect to an IPTV like Sling and stream the show online, no matter where you are.

How to watch What We Do in the Shadows season 3 online in the UK
There isn’t a release date for British audiences yet. And, unlike Nandor and friends, you can’t transform yourself into a winged mammal and flit abroad by calling out, ‘Bat!’. Unfortunately.
Since the show’s debut in 2019 there’s been an approximately 2-month wait between each season airing in the US and its UK broadcast on BBC Two. So, we’d expect this to remain the case, and for season 3 of What We Do in the Shadows to be available to watch sometime in November.
Until then, the previous two seasons can be watched for free via BBC iPlayer – as long as you have a valid TV license, that is.
Away from home right now? By using a VPN you can access all the services and content you normally pay for. Plus, it’ll keep your private information secure online too.

Once subscribed, you’ll get access to 10,000 hours of content: reality shows, dramas, comedies and documentaries including Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Modern Family, Mayans, and I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, and plenty more from HBO, Warner Bros, and FX. It also has more than 800 movies and is home to both prior seasons of What We Do in the Shadows.
Remember, if you’re abroad right now but want to tune in as normal, your best bet is to download a VPN, as explained above.
