During theWhat We Do In The ShadowsFarewell Tour Kick-Off panel on Thursday,season 6 showrunner Paul Simms teased the return of fan-favorite character Jackie Daytona in the upcoming final season. Screen Rant was in attendance at the panel and reported Simms saying, “I said we would never do it again after the first time but… who knows what might happen in season 6?” Jackie Daytona was the shortlived alter-ego of Matt Berry’s Laszlo who only appeared inWhat We Do in the Shadowsseason 2, episode 6 titled “On the Run.” That episode, of course, also featured a legendary guest appearance from none other than Mark Hamill, who plays Jim the Vampire.
Getting a Jackie Daytona return inWhat We Do in the Shadowsseason 6 could also bethe key to getting Hamill to reprise his role in the final season. Hamill’s Jim the Vampire is widely considered the best guest cameo of the entire series, so having both Jackie Daytona and Jim the Vampire back in season 6 simply must happen. Hamill expressed publicly how much fun he had on the set and how much he loved the series. Hamill also had a few surprises of his own at San Diego Comic-Con, revealing that he is the new voice of theFlying Dutchman in the upcoming SpongeBob SquarePants movie.

Jackie Daytona Is One Of What We Do In The Shadows' Best Gags
Jackie Daytona is one of the most beloved gags in all ofWhat We Do in the Shadows, which is why “On the Run” is one of the highest-rated episodes of the entire series. With the final season focusing on Guillermo off in the “real world”, it makes for a perfect opportunity for Laszlo to return to his familiar bartender persona. Ultimately, it would be a big missed opportunity ifWhat We Do in the Shadowsseason 6 failed to capitalize on Jackie Daytona’s return, especially with Simms himself teasing his return at SDCC 2024. Regardless, it is poised to be one of the best, if not the best, seasons of the series.
