The mockumentary continues to follow the hilarious nightly lives of ancient vampires who have lived together as roommates for centuries. Together along with their loyal familiar Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), the group navigates the modern world and all the complications that come with it. What can we expect this season? Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch) running for office, Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) reconnecting with her roots and Lazlo (Matt Berry) and Guillermo spending more time together — which proves to create jealously from Nandor (Kayvan Novak).
