If there was a prize for the biggest number of surprise guest stars on a television show, the vampire comedy What We Do In The Shadows (2019 to now) may have won it with its Season 1 finale last year, which was stuffed with appearances by actors who had played vampires on other series and films.

They included Evan Rachel Wood, who played one on True Blood (2008 to 2014); Wesley Snipes (Blade, 1998); Tilda Swinton (Only Lovers Left Alive, 2013); and Danny Trejo (From Dusk Till Dawn, 1996).
