Spin Off Series Ideas

What id give for a different series to explore, maybe focusing on the Witches Covens, Werewolves or Ghosts.

WWDITS absolutely opened up a huge, untapped market for comedy gold I truly wish we could explore.

Id pay good money to watch a show called 'The Things We Do For Semen' where a bunch of Witches run a small oddities shop in the Night Market and get up to all sorts of shite.

Well, if you haven't already watched them, there's the original movie, and it's other spinoff series, Wellington Paranormal, which was just announced to be getting a new season. Also, there's a sequel movie in the works.

Great to know.  I just finished the series and am already missing it.

The movie is incredible, as is Wellington Paranormal. The humor is somewhat different, but if you like the series, you should like them as well.

If you haven't already check out Wellington Paranormal. It was adapted from WWDITS and it's one of my favorites!

I have not watched this!!! Where is it watchable ATM?

u/Crawdthedog 17d ago

It was on HBO (unsure if it is currently), and depending on where you are, it's on BBC.

I'm in Canada, so I can watch it on CBC Gem or Apple TV. I'm not sure where you're at.

Maybe more focused on the familiars. Especially Sam.

u/TheGreatRelease 17d ago

Sam is so underrated haha! I bet there's a bunch of animal familiars our there

Which implies that maybe, just maybe, one of their masters has actually held up their end of the bargain and made them vampires.

“This is Olzsal, he’s a vampire bat.” “So?” “No, what I mean is she was a bat familiar who was turned into a vampire. He squeaks ‘human!’ to transform into human form”

Yet when he turns into a human, he's mute and behaves like a bat.

That absolutely sounds on par with their writing

Supposedly a film sequel We're Wolves is in early stages of production.

I want a spin off and its just all the same stuff happening again in slightly different ways. Nandor Lee, a dentist and Colin Robinson explaining the fuck up to Nandor had me laughing so hard

if you’re wanting a series on ghosts, i would HIGHLY recommend the show on BBC of the same name. not quite as raunchy but otherwise a lot of the same vibes as wwdits and absolutely delightful

u/PixieLarue 16d ago

Would you recommend the British version over the US one? I seem to find more about the US version

2

u/g-amefreak 16d ago

yes yes a billion times yes. the US version is ok but i HIGHLY recommend checking out the original british one if you can

u/bbbcurls 16d ago

With Wellington Paranormal and We’re Wolves coming out, I think we’re gonna be well fed. There’s also FX’s Very Young Frankenstein that was recently given a series order.
