And it isn’t the onlyWhat We Do in the ShadowsTV spin-off, either. There’s alsoWellington Paranormal, a series that features the cop characters briefly seen in theShadowsmovie.
The series has already aired three seasonsanda Christmas special in New Zealand, but the show is just now coming to America. The American debut is set for July 11 on the CW.
