What We Do in the Shadows Season 6: Kayvan Novak on the Finale, Nandor & Guillermo, and That Hilarious New Vampire!
What We Do in the Shadows: Kayvan Novak's Farewell to Nandor!
Get ready for the final season of FX's hilarious vampire mockumentary, What We Do in the Shadows! Kayvan Novak, the BAFTA-winning actor behind the iconic Nandor the Relentless, chatted with us about the show's conclusion; it's going to be wild; it promises that all fans should eagerly await! And, man, his insights into the upcoming episodes of Season 6 sound fantastic! We explore Nandor's lingering emotions towards his former familiar Guillermo, how that dynamic impacts the series' conclusion, and even that insanely funny addition of the new roommate. This sixth season includes plenty of those laugh-out-loud moments found previously; coupled with serious character developments, and all of this will come into this surprising climax.
Novak found success internationally in shows like Fonejacker and Four Lions before becoming a beloved figure in the US; and while What We Do in the Shadows helped make him an international star, he's kept busy with roles in Cruella and Archer; truly showcasing this versatile and hilarious actor’s ability and popularity worldwide; This demonstrates that this incredible and very important role has an unexpected impact for audiences everywhere.
Nandor and Guillermo: Will They, Won't They? The Final Chapter
Season 6 picks up right after the shocking season 5 finale. Remember how Nandor helped Guillermo become human (again) and everything around this event and the development that came next? After Derek's unfortunate death at the end of season 5, this particular moment is critically emphasized for much of Season 6's dramatic storyline. Guillermo's moved out. Into his own garden house! Nandor's struggling without him. This new independent development however does not resolve all the complications within these relationships and both are re-evaluating those complex dynamics; emphasizing that this isn’t going to have that straightforward resolution found in previous seasons which heavily relies on building on those prior dramatic scenes; instead, relying on a much slower burn that emphasizes those core elements that fans know, generating more intrigue as the season progresses. And the writers clearly weren’t finished building on that ongoing will-they-won’t-they arc. This particular point remains unresolved; however it becomes clear what that relationship and what those character arcs really entail at this point, setting expectations correctly for this emotional roller coaster. And Novak hints it's a big surprise that keeps you completely guessing right up to that final moments. This point is highly relevant when considered in the context that this entire storyline’s end is imminent; creating an entire universe of possibilities for these characters!
A Fifth Roommate Arrives! Mike O'Brien Joins the Fun!
Season 6 also welcomes a new addition – Jerry! This totally unexpected fifth roommate appears! And it doesn’t really go smoothly. This completely changes how those original characters are forced to deal with him, and this moment gets amplified and used in those scenes later on where this new roommate totally disrupts the established dynamics; showing that this person completely changed their home environment for both good and ill. Novak was truly wowed by Mike O’Brien’s performance (he didn’t know O’Brien before and that shows a huge lack of awareness on his behalf and his specific team that did this). Even if they didn’t interact on screen that often (Novak lacked many personal experiences) but they definitely respected the atmosphere created and how everything came together on the screen and their ability to remain relaxed.
Nandor and Nadja: A Hilariously Sibling-Like Dynamic!
And we also see many surprising combinations! And among these interesting pairs of vampires and other important characters, we see some of the most memorable moments come from seeing more screen time involving Nandor and Nadja together. The pairing might appear unexpected; their office antics and general behavior is nothing short of incredible – creating many memorable moments; completely taking advantage of how chaotic they both were and their inability to follow through with more careful and planned responses. These contrasting personalities, the incredible scenes involving them in these office escapades that perfectly utilize how energetic they were individually shows that having characters team up surprisingly is never bad and creates many wonderful scenes for viewers. The very fact that Novak himself enjoyed working with Natasia Demetriou for these scenarios (he described this moment as something similar to fighting with his sister!) only further emphasizes the deep impact behind the very carefully constructed moments and situations shown, demonstrating a careful, considerate writing choice which was effective for both emotional impact and the underlying sense of humour found everywhere. It’s great! Really memorable!
The Series Finale: A Powerful and Satisfying Conclusion
Novak kept mum on spoilers. But he emphasizes how seriously amazing this grand finale really was! There's been major concerns; those typical anxieties that accompany any such endings. Yet he assures fans those worries weren’t really valid and his claims suggest the opposite; that the creators would succeed where so many other productions failed at making a genuinely great ending to those long-running plots which had impacted both fans and audiences so critically throughout its long run! This entire last season's concluding parts shows how well this team really did come together and is probably exactly the way every long running show should aim for at the end!
Conclusion: A Hilarious Farewell to What We Do in the Shadows
This interview's insights paint an amazing picture regarding What We Do in the Shadows final season.
