WhatWeDoInTheShadows' HARVEYGUILLEN discusses 'Pine Barrens,' how Guillermo is finding his own power, the significance of the Marwa scene, and more.
Editor's note: The below interview contains spoilers for Season 4, Episode 7 of What We Do in the Shadows.From executive producers Paul Simms and Stefani Robinson and creator Jemaine Clement, What We Do in the Shadows has undeniably grown and made a name for itself past the initial mockumentary concept that was first spun off from the film of the same name by Clement and Taika Waititi.
HARVEY GUILLÉN: It's usually... I learn it the week of the filming. It's kind of nerve-wracking. I've always said that since Guillermo is the only human in the show, the storyline has to make sense. The trajectory of it has to be sprinkled in a way where we see the evolution, and we can see the beginning, the middle, and the end of that season for him. It's hard when you cross shoot out of order, and you don't know what the next episodes are going to be.
GUILLÉN: I mean, I think it's very smart writing, and it's very clear if you read into it, of Nandor's wish for the Djinn to make Marwa like everything that he likes. Her being passionate with Guillermo, or being loving with him, shows that Nandor really does care for him. I've always said that these characters have love for each other.
This season, there's the theme of family, and we see that even more so in this episode, because this week, not only are we getting more time with Guillermo's family, but it also fills in the gaps on what his family thinks he's been doing this whole time. What was it like to get to see his extended family, and what was it like to film those scenes, on set with that whole group?
The coming out scene... it's because Nadja's life was threatened, is the reason that he came out. He was willing to put himself on the line. What it took was he had kept a secret for years, pretended he worked at the railroad, got a promotion from Panera to the railroad track. How that's happened is in question. He lives in this house, he's wearing Versace shirts. He's made a persona.
GUILLÉN: I didn't. Until, I think, for that script specifically, I knew my family was visiting. I knew about it, I'd been told my family was visiting. I don't think I really knew Guillermo was coming out until a table read, and I discovered — or I was outed, in front of everyone at the table. It just took me by surprise. I was like, "Oh wow. He's doing it. Okay. Wow. This is the year.
