Parisa Fakhri has joined the cast of What We Do in the Shadows season 4. Launched on FX in 2019, the acclaimed mockumentary series follows the everyday troubles of a group of vampire roommates living in Staten Island, New York. Having garnered considerable acclaim and numerous Emmy Award nominations, the show is based on a 2014 feature by the same name helmed by Jemaine Clement and Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi.
Now, a report by Deadline reveals that Fakhri will feature in the upcoming season of What We Do in the Shadows. Best known for her roles in SEAL Team and Shameless, Fakhri will now portray the character of Marwa on the hit FX comedy. Described as one of Nandor’s 37 (previously deceased) wives from Al-Quolanudar, she will reportedly feature in seven of the show’s ten new episodes.
Celebrated for the chemistry of its core castmates, What We Do in the Shadows will again see Kayvan Novak as Nandor, Matt Berry as Laszlo, Natasia Demetriou as Nadja, Mark Proksch as Colin Robinson, and Harvey Guillén as the group’s underappreciated familiar Guillermo. Reunited following a prolonged separation, season 4 finds the chaotic group of vampires attempting to rebuild their lives in Staten Island while Laszlo tries to raise Baby Colin, Nandor doubles down on his pursuit of love, and Nadja opens a nightclub. With two more seasons already in the works, What We Do in the Shadows will return for season 4 on July 12.
