Harvey Guillén reveals his characters' fate ahead of the new season of What We Do in the Shadows

Harvey Guillén has high expectations for his What We Do in the Shadows character, Guillermo de la Cruz, as the drama approaches its finale. In an exclusive interview with People, the actor shared details about his character's fate, who is reminiscent of vampire Nandor the Relentless (Kayvan Novak), who spends the majority of the series longing to become a vampire himself, whatever it takes. He said, "I think we kind of realized that Guillermo is in a place of rebirth, a renaissance." 

He then continued, "How can I say this without giving too much away? Guillermo clearly goes in a different direction than we expected. As the fans are already aware, Guillén's Guillermo ultimately achieved his goal to become a vampire in season 5 of the hit FX vampire mockumentary series, only to return to mortal life after learning the undead life wasn't what he expected.

The actor further added, "Sometimes what you work for doesn't really pay off and doesn't really come to fruition. And it can be heartbreaking for us as humans at times, but we must remember that we must comprehend both what we are capable of and what we are not capable of. And to understand the difference."

Guillén also revealed that they're in the middle of filming the final season, and it's been really cool just to see the trajectory of his character’s story. The 33-year-old actor added that he's really excited for everyone to see where it lands as they left the show on such a sweet and nostalgic moment.
