where to stream what we do in the shadows

You can watch What We Do in the Shadows in a few different places, but the options depend on whether you mean the 2014 movie or the FX TV series, and on which country you’re in.

Movie vs. TV series

  • Movie (2014, Taika Waititi & Jemaine Clement): Often available to rent or buy digitally , with fewer true “subscription streaming” options at the moment.
  • TV series (FX, 2019–2024) : Usually part of a subscription service that carries FX/Hulu content, sometimes bundled with live‑TV packages.

Where to stream the movie

Availability changes by region, but recent listings show:

  • In many regions, the 2014 movie is available to rent or buy on:
    • Apple TV / iTunes
    • Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu)
    • Rakuten TV and Sky Store in some countries
      These are generally HD rentals or purchases, not flat‑fee streaming.
  • In the UK and some European regions, aggregators list it as:
    • Streaming via Shudder or its channel add‑ons
    • Free with ads on certain AVOD services like ITVX or Rakuten, when licensed.

Because licensing rotates, it may or may not be on a subscription service like Netflix or HBO‑branded platforms in your specific country at any given time.

Where to stream the TV series

For the TV series What We Do in the Shadows (FX):

  • In the US :
    • Past seasons stream on Hulu , as part of its on‑demand FX catalog.
* Some live‑TV services (for example, YouTube TV) let you watch FX live and stream episodes via cloud DVR and on‑demand libraries.
  • In several international regions :
    • Seasons can appear on Disney+ / Star as part of its FX/Star library. Users in forums report that when Hulu only shows season 1 in some apps, Disney+ may have all seasons in their region.

Forum discussions also note app glitches where Hulu only shows season 1 until you scroll “up” in the season list or log out/in; after that, all seasons appear.

Tips to actually find it

  • Check both :
    • “What We Do in the Shadows” (movie, 2014)
    • “What We Do in the Shadows” (TV Series, 2019– )
      in your preferred app’s search; they are separate entries.
  • Use a streaming aggregator (like JustWatch or Roku’s search) to see:
    • Which subscription services have it in your country
    • Whether it’s only available as a paid rental or purchase right now.
