‘What We Do in the Shadows’ Spinoff Series Lands at CW, HBO Max
The CW will get first airings of 'Wellington Paranormal,' a spinoff of 'What We Do in the Shadows' from Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement.
The world of What We Do in the Shadows is expanding.
The CW and HBO Max have jointly acquired Wellington Paranormal, a spinoff of Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement's 2014 vampire mockumentary (which has also spawned FX's series What We Do in the Shadows). The show is the first joint acquisition by the two outlets; HBO Max parent company WarnerMedia jointly owns The CW with ViacomCBS.
Under the agreement, The CW will get the first airings of the show, which is set to be part of its summer schedule (a premiere date is still to be determined). HBO Max will stream episodes a day after their broadcast debut, as will the broadcaster's ad-supported streaming platforms.
