Harvey Guillén, known for his role as Guillermo de la Cruz in the hit FX vampire mockumentary series What We Do in the Shadows, recently shared some insights about the ongoing production of the show's sixth and final season. The 33-year-old actor revealed that the cast is currently in the midst of filming the last season of the popular series.

He expressed his attachment to the character and the show, stating that he likes to keep a small piece of the characters he portrays.
What We Do in the Shadows, created by Jemaine Clement and based on the 2015 film of the same name, has garnered a dedicated fan base for its comedic portrayal of vampire life in Staten Island. The show features Guillén as Guillermo de la Cruz, a familiar to vampire Nandor the Relentless, who aspires to become a vampire himself.
Despite the challenges of coordinating gatherings due to geographical distances, Guillén shared that he maintains a close bond with his castmates, particularly with Kayvan Novak, who plays Nandor. The actor expressed his fondness for spending time with Novak and his fiancée, emphasizing the strong friendships that have developed among the cast.
Guillén mentioned the absence of wrap parties in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic but hinted at the possibility of a grand celebration for the series finale. As the show approaches its conclusion, the cast and crew are hopeful for an opportunity to commemorate their time together with a memorable wrap party.
What We Do in the Shadows has attracted a wide array of guest stars throughout its run, adding to its appeal and popularity. The series is available for streaming on Hulu, allowing fans to catch up on the supernatural adventures of the quirky vampire characters before the final season airs.
