"I love that question like it's all just me calling the shots," Schaal joked when asked if her love for the show is what made her stick around and do more.
"It was the opposite. We loved her so much," Simms explained. "And I think the first time that she guest starred, we just got lucky that you happened to be in Toronto at the right time. And then it was just a matter of ... In a way, in the pilot, Colin [Robinson, the character played by Mark Proksch] was supposed to be sort of like a one-time sort of joke. We never knew he would be such an integral part of the show, and the same thing with Sean the neighbor played by Anthony Atamanuik. That was supposed to be a neighbor we saw one time, and if you show up and we love you, then you're part of the show, I guess is the lesson."

While speaking with ComicBook at SDCC, Simms was asked if the show could continue beyond the sixth season.
"No. It's better [to end] a little too soon than a little too late, I think. I'm editing the season we shot right now and it's one of my favorite seasons and it's, instead of trying to make it a very special final season, it's just funny the way we've always done it. It builds to a very satisfying conclusion but we really wanted to make a season where you don't have to have watched the whole show to get it. You could come in the middle of any episode and still like it . Just silly and fun."
Earlier this year, ComicBook spoke to What We Do in the Shadows star Harvey Guill?n, who plays Guillermo de la Cruz. During the chat, he opened up about learning What We Do in the Shadows was coming to an end and shared his hopes for Guillermo.
"I had a feeling that it might, but we didn't really know until we got the call," Guill?n shared about learning the show was ending. "And I think we were thinking maybe we'd go like six and seven, but then at that point, we were like, 'Probably wrap it up.' Right? Six or seven is around the right time we should wrap things up. Sometimes shows keep going and I feel like eventually you're like, 'That's still on?' Why is that still on the air?' We didn't want to become that show. We didn't want to be that show, so we wanted to keep it fresh all the way to the end."
What We Do in the Shadows returns on Monday, October 21st at 10 PM ET on FX.
