What We Do In The Shadows Teases Van Helsing Could Be Latino

Over the primary and second seasons of FX’s vampire comedy What We Do within the Shadows, followers have realized increasingly about vampire lovers and acquainted Guillermo de la Cruz.

Deadline reports that on the finish of season one, we study that he’s a descendant of famed vampire slayer Van Helsing. What does this imply for him as a Mexican American? Does this imply that Helsing is Latino within the Shadow’s universe? “I think he should be,” Harvey Guillén, who performs Guillermo, stated throughout FX’s TCA panel. “I think we can trace the family tree to how it came to be.” Season two expands on this by introducing his mom, Silvia (Myrna Cabell0), and they’re going to present much more of his household because the present goes on.

“These are questions that are going to be answered in a big way but not this season,” says the present’s government producer Paul Simms. “In Season 4, Episode 4, you’re going to meet all of Guillermo’s family in a way that makes him very anxious. We’ll learn that if he has Van Helsing DNA, then so does the rest of his family, even though they might not realize it themselves. But we haven’t even shot that yet.”

He continues, “We’ll also learn in Season 4 that Guillermo is feeling the effects of having dedicated ten years of his life to these vampires and neglecting his family and his responsibilities to them and how he tries to make amends for that.”

Guillén says he’s obtained a ton of constructive suggestions from Latino followers of the sequence. “Guillermo has been such a positive character that has resonated with the Latinx community even with the smallest scene, like when he was with his mom,” the Mexican American actor shared.

G/O Media could get a fee

“We got so much feedback from people who felt like they were watching their moms. They even noticed the buñuelos that were in the background, little details like that. We can say it until we’re blue in the face, but representation matters, and I think we’ve done a good job representing. I look forward to continuing that.”

Season 3 of What We Do In The Shadows premieres September 2 on FX.
