So this is cool! Deadline reports that Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement's What We Do in the Shadows spin-off mockumentary series, Wellington Paranormal – which premiered exclusively in New Zealand back in 2018 – will finally be coming to the US thanks to HBO Max and The CW!
Here's the official synopsis:
Wellington Paranormal follows the adventures of two incurious police officers from the What We Do in the Shadows movie. It revolves around Officers O’Leary (Karen O’Leary) and Minogue (Mike Minogue), who both appeared in the film. They are hard-working members of the Wellington constabulary’s paranormal unit who, under the supervision of Sergeant Maaka (Maaka Pohatu), investigate supernatural occurrences that arise in the capital of New Zealand on a surprisingly regular basis.
Meanwhile, according to the article, "the comedy will launch first on The CW this summer, and each episode will then be available to stream via the network’s ad-supported digital platforms and streaming service HBO Max the day after its linear bow."
Also, just a reminder: What We Do in the Shadows – the series spin-off of the eponymous 2014 supernatural comedy film – is getting a third season at FX!
