Fear not, you What We Do in the Shadows super fans! Taika
Waititi knows you want more and plans are still in motion for a
werewolf-centric spin-off, but in a new interview with Fandango
the Thor: Ragnarok director says they're also in the planning
stages for two additional spin-offs, including an American
version that will function as a TV show.
"We're trying to develop a U.S. version of What We Do in the
Shadows," he said. "You know, set here in the states, but a T.V.
show."[/quote]

[...] Clement also confirmed that a U.S. television adaptation
of the film “What We Do In the Shadows,” the 2014 film he and
Taika Waititi wrote, directed, and starred in, is now in the
works — with plans to shoot a pilot later this year. Clement
said he wouldn’t appear in the U.S. show, but is writing it.
“It’s pretty close, we’re going to film a pilot,” said Clement,
who declined to identify the outlet. “This is about a
documentary crew in America.”[/quote]

It's just a pilot, not a show yet, but fingers crossed it works
out!

A reboot of What We Do in the Shadows is in the works for the
small screen. FX has given a pilot order to a half-hour comedy
based on the 2014 mockumentary horror film co-written,
co-directed by and starring Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi.
Clement is attached as writer and executive producer on TV
adaptation, and Waititi will direct and executive produce.
Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guillen are
set to star in the pilot, executive produced by Scott Rudin,
Paul Simms, Garrett Basch and Eli Bush. [...]
Novak will play Nandor, the head vampire of the house. Berry
plays Lazslo, the goofiest in the house, the type of vampire who
turns into a bat and flies into a wall. Demetriou plays Nadja,
the badass female vampire of the house. Guillen is believed to
play Nandor’s assistant.[/quote]
