Matt Berry 'might be getting a bit old' for What We Do in the Shadows
The comedian teased the future of the series beyond season 6.
He might have been nominated for a BAFTA at the BAFTA TV Awards 2023 tonight (14th May) for his comedy performance in What We Do in the Shadows, but Matt Berry reckons there's a chance he “might be getting a bit old” for the mockumentary series.
Speaking on the red carpet for the at the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday (14th May), RadioTimes.com asked Berry, who portrays vampire Lazlo in the series, how many more seasons could be on the cards.
"That’s not up to me," he mused. "We’re about to do the sixth. I think only four have come out here, but they’re on Disney Plus. I don’t know how many there’s going to be after that, but it’s not my decision.
He continued: "There’s a lot of harnesses and stunts and stuff. I might be getting a bit too old for that! I don’t know.
"But you know I’m supposed to be undead, so the rules don’t apply do they," he joked.

Nick Grad, president of original programming for FX Entertainment, said at the time: “There’s a lot of life left in our favourite vampires from Staten Island and FX couldn’t be more thrilled to commit to two additional seasons of this phenomenal series."
