The long-discussed follow-up to What We Do in the Shadows, titled We’re Wolves, would shift focus to the rival werewolf group introduced in the original film, expanding the same mockumentary-style world from a different angle. It’s a simple concept, built on characters and tone rather than scale, which is exactly why its absence feels unusual.
What makes this one particularly appealing is how naturally it fits within the original film’s success. The werewolves were already a standout element, and the idea of a spin-off doesn’t require reinvention, just continuation. With Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement behind it, there’s a clear creative voice already in place, which is often the hardest part of getting a project moving.
In terms of timeline, We’re Wolves was first mentioned shortly after the release of the original film in 2014, with both creators expressing interest in developing it further. Over the years, it has resurfaced in interviews, often framed as something they still want to make. Can't find much on it, but there is an article from 8 years ago from entertainment.ie confirms that the project is still being discussed, but without any concrete movement toward production.
That’s what makes this one stand out. Unlike many projects in development limbo, this isn’t blocked by budget, scale, or studio hesitation. Instead, it appears to be a matter of timing and priorities, with its creators involved in multiple other projects. As it stands, there has been well over 12 months without any meaningful progress toward production, leaving it in a quiet but persistent state of dormancy.
