Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi's What We Do in the Shadows series adaptation has been renewed at FX for two more seasons ahead of the release of Season 4 next month.

The fan-favourite vampire mockumentary — which shoots in Toronto — has earned 10 Emmy nominations in its three-season run, so it's no surprise the Disney-backed network is eager to bring it back.

"There's a lot of life left in our favourite vampires from Staten Island and FX couldn't be more thrilled to commit to two additional seasons of this phenomenal series," said Nick Grad, president of original programming for FX Entertainment [via Variety].

"What We Do in the Shadows excels on every level," Grad continued, "from the brilliant cast and surprising guest stars to the producers, writers, directors and crew. We can't wait for everyone to enjoy season four, knowing that the next two are on the way."

Season 4 of the series returns on July 12 with two new episodes. Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Mark Proksch and Harvey Guillén are expected to return. Paul Simms, Clement, Waititi, Stefani Robinson, Sam Johnson, Garrett Basch and Eli Bush all serve as executive producers.
