Will the “documentary crew” ever play a bigger role?
Like the feature film that inspired the series, What We Do in the Shadows is structured like a documentary film, with (mostly) unseen and un-remarked-upon camera and sound people ostensibly filming all the scenes, including fourth-wall-breaking interviews. From what was said at the press conference, it’s unlikely we’ll get to know these folks any better, at least not this season. “I don’t know,” Simms said. “I mean, we’ve discussed it in the writers room a few times and there’ve been a few times over the seasons where we’ve gotten glimpses of them. But as far as actual personalities…”
“Yeah, they’re pretty anonymous,” Robinson added. “I mean, it’s probably not crazy to think that they’ve been a different crew, sort of shifting throughout the seasons.”
“But it is something that before the series is over we are going to, I’m not going to say reveal, but deal with,” Simms said.
