The CW, HBO Max Pick Up What We Do in the Shadows Spin-Off

The CW has acquired Wellington Paranormal, a spin-off of the vampire mockumentary film What We Do in the Shadows, in partnership with HBO Max.

From creators Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords) and Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit), the New Zealand-based Wellington Paranormal marks the first co-acquisition of a prime-time series between The CW Network and HBO Max. All episodes of the supernatural comedy series will first air on The CW and will be available to stream on the network’s free, ad-supported digital platforms (The CW app and CWTV.com) and WarnerMedia’s HBO Max the day after its broadcast.

Wellington Paranormal follows the adventures of Officers O’Leary (Karen O’Leary; What We Do in the Shadows) and Minogue (Mike Minogue; What We Do in the Shadows), hard-working members of the Wellington constabulary’s paranormal unit who, under the supervision of Sergeant Maaka (Maaka Pohatu; Savage), investigate supernatural occurrences that arise in the capital of New Zealand on a surprisingly regular basis.
