What We Do In The Shadows’ Matt Berry explains why he’s ready for the series to end: ‘Six seasons is a long time’

No one could have suspected in 2014 that Jemaine Clément and Taika Waititihorror comedy What we do in the shadows would spark various spinoffs and finally give British comedy genius Matt Berry the American adoration he deserves. And here we are a decade later, with FX’s vampire mockumentary series poised to deliver potentially the bloodiest series finale of all. TV schedule 2024. Viewers like me definitely aren’t ready to say goodbye, but the same can’t be said for Berry himself.

While there have obviously been other popular TV mockumentaries and horror comedies over the years, What we do in the shadows consistently looks like nothing else on the small screen, and there’s we’ll miss a lot of things when it’s gone. So perhaps we can all take comfort in knowing that Berry’s desire to put the series in his rearview mirror is aimed at maintaining that upper echelon quality without falling victim to mediocrity. Talk with Living roomBerry said:

The worst thing you can do with a comedy is overstay your welcome. Things can be ruined by hanging on for too long, because then people can get tired of you, and that can cause them to look askance at the work you’ve done up to that point. Whereas if you let loose at the right time, then it’s a decent legacy. You know what you left behind is good quality.
