Set primarily in Staten Island, New York City, New York, What We Do in the Shadows follows the lives of three traditional vampires, Nandor, Laszlo, and Nadja; Colin Robinson, an energy vampire; and Guillermo, Nandor’s familiar. The series revolves around the vampires interacting with the modern world and other supernatural beings.
Kayvan Novak as Nandor the Relentless – Once the bloodthirsty leader of the fictional kingdom of Al-Quolanudar in southern Iran and a warrior serving the Ottoman Empire. As the oldest vampire, he is the self-proclaimed leader of the group, and as such frequently calls house meetings for frivolous discussions. Although he genuinely cares for his human familiar Guillermo, he has difficulty expressing it. Nandor is also quite naive to the ways of modern society and humans, which often results in Guillermo becoming frustrated with him.
Matt Berry as Leslie “Laszlo” Cravensworth – A British nobleman vampire who was turned by Nadja and is now married to her. He is often preoccupied with thoughts of sex and is a former porn actor. He also enjoys making topiary sculptures of vulvas in the yard, including those of his wife and mother. He confessed in season 1 to having been Jack the Ripper.
Natasia Demetriou as Nadja of Antipaxos – A Greek Romani vampire who turned Laszlo into a vampire and later married him. She is frequently frustrated with her male housemates and nostalgic about her human life. She has entertained an affair with a reincarnated knight named Gregor for hundreds of years, only for him to be decapitated in every reincarnation.
Demetriou also plays Nadja’s ghost doppelganger who inhabits a doll, a recurring character since season two.
Harvey Guillén as Guillermo de la Cruz – Nandor’s long-suffering Latino familiar. Despite his frustration with his unreasonable workload and Nandor’s disregard for his mortality, he has served his master for 11 years in the hope of being made a vampire, a dream inspired by Armand in the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire. Late in season one, Guillermo discovers that he is a descendant of the famous vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing, and he proves to be very skilled at killing vampires (including by accident), giving him conflicting feelings about his desire to become a vampire. Guillermo’s skill as a vampire slayer leads to him becoming a bodyguard for Nandor, Nadja, and Laszlo in the third season.
Mark Proksch as Colin Robinson (seasons 1–3) and Baby Colin “The Boy” (season 4–present) – An energy vampire who lives in the basement. He lives by draining humans and vampires of their energy by being boring or frustrating. As a “day walker”, he is not harmed by sunlight or entry into churches and is able to work in a cubicle office and feed on his coworkers’ frustrations.
