The immensely funny What We Do in the Shadows (my review) is on track to getting a sequel, says star and co-creator Jemaine Clement, who told New Zealand’s Stuff that a sequel to the vampire comedy was in the early stages of development; essentially they’re just in the planning stages.
Details are about as slim as they get, but it sounds like they’re going the most logical route in focusing the sequel on Rhys Darby’s control-freak werewolf, Anton. You know, the werewolves, not swear-wolves. Funny enough, about 7 months ago in the comments for my review of the film, I said “I’d like to see a spinoff with the Werwolves’ point of view and see how they live together.” Dreams do come true, folks.
Follow the lives of Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav – three flatmates who are just trying to get by and overcome life’s obstacles-like being immortal vampires who must feast on human blood. Hundreds of years old, the vampires are finding that beyond sunlight catastrophes, hitting the main artery, and not being able to get a sense of their wardrobe without a reflection-modern society has them struggling with the mundane like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts.
What We Do In The Shadows stars Clement, Waititi, Jonathon Brugh, Cori Gonzalez-Macuer, and Stu Rutherford.

Oh, this is absolutely fangtastic news!!!!!
I can’t wait to see what they come up with. Should be great!
Man, this is great news. This was hands down the funniest film of last year and the funniest I’ve seen in along time. I lived the Swearwolves and its great idea to focus on them.
