What We Do In The Shadows’ incompetent cops to get their own TV show in 2018

We’ve been hearing rumblings of adaptations of and sequels to What We Do In The Shadows ever since Taika Waititi’s hilarious vampire mockumentary became a cult hit back in 2015. This week, a report from Stuff confirmed that at least one of those projects is finally in production, a mockumentary cop TV show called Wellington Paranormal that follows a paranormal unit of the New Zealand police as they investigate all kinds of supernatural activity, presumably poorly and with much deadpan humor. Mike Minogue and Karen O’Leary will return as the two cops we saw stumble into the vampires’ house in the movie, and Stuff mentions that “one or two werewolves pop up,” as well as Cori Gonzalez-Macuer’s insufferable dude-bro vampire Nick. The show’s six 30-minute episodes are set to air on New Zealand’s TVNZ 2 in mid-2018. Hopefully someone out there, whether it be a content-hungry streaming service or some cable channel, can pick it up for wider distribution.
