Sixth season to be the last

What We Do In The Shadows will end with its upcoming sixth season, it has been revealed.

Work on the vampire sitcom starring Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak, Natasia Demetriou, Mark Proksch and Harvey Guillén  resumes in January.

But, Vulture reports, the new season will be the last.

The show started as a  feature film in 2014, created but by Flight Of The Concords star Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, who has gone on to direct Jojo Rabbit and two Thor films. 

Ratings have been sliding on American TV, with this summer’s fifth series averaging  around 275,000 viewers per episode on the FX channel – although streaming figures from its slot on Hulu are not available.

However it remains popular with critics. At next month’s  Critics Choice Television Awards in the US it is up for best comedy with  Novak and Guillén up for acting awards.

What We Do In The Shadows is available on Disney+ in the US.
