A television series based on Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement's cult film What We Do in the Shadows has been ordered for American network FX.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, FX has handed a 10-episode order for the comedy, which will be written by Clement and directed by Waititi.
Sky Television has confirmed the series will screen in New Zealand on SoHo.
Due for autumn 2019, the series of half-hour episodes will expand the story of the film, which follows three vampires who have been flatmates for hundreds of years.
