Taika Waititi says what we’re doing in the shadows has gone on ‘far too long,’ and even if he was joking, I couldn’t disagree more

One of the best shows in the 2024 TV Show Schedule is also one of the many series ending in 2024. What we do in the shadows (inspired by the 2014 film of the same name) easily ranks among my the most rewatchable shows of all time. I’ll never stop watching these vampires, so I’m admittedly sad that the series is almost over. However, the EP Taika Waititi thinks this has been going on for too long already and, although I understand what he means, I disagree.

THE Our flag means death the actor/producer spent time with Weekly Entertainment to discuss some of his best work, including the horror comedy series. As it stands, the acclaimed comedy is set to end its run after six seasons. The New Zealand-born writer-actor-director opened up about his feelings about the film-turned-TV movie’s long runtime and expressed surprise that the “five-minute idea” would last this long:

It lasted too long, but I’m proud of it. I thought the movie, when we were making the movie, I said to Jemaine (Clément), “It’s like it’s a five-minute idea that we’re stretching into a movie.” Then we did six seasons with the same idea.
