Each of them has a different origin which led them to become undead, from Kayvan Novak's Ottoman Empire warrior Nandor the Relentless to Matt Berry's British nobleman Laszlo Cravensworth and his Greek Romani wife, Nadja (Natasia Demetriou).
In a twist on traditional gothic lore, the show also features a so-called "energy vampire" named Colin Robinson, who feeds by boring humans into a lethargic state, rather than indulging in the typical blood-sucking.
The show has been a major hit across the globe with fans eager to tune into the latest episodes, so here's all you need to know.
In the UK, What We Do in the Shadows airs terrestrially on BBC Two, while the first three seasons are available to stream in full on BBC iPlayer.

When is What We Do in the Shadows season 4 released?
The fourth season of What We Do in the Shadows is already airing on FX and Hulu in the United States, where it premiered on Tuesday 12th July 2022.
Fans in the UK are eager to feast their eyes on the episodes before they can be spoiled, but they're likely to have to wait a little while longer.
In previous years, new seasons of What We Do in the Shadows haven't arrived here until they've finished airing in the US, which would point to a UK launch sometime in early to mid September.
Take that estimate with a pinch of salt for now as the BBC is yet to confirm an exact air date just yet, but we'll update this page when that information becomes available.
