The whole group will be going through an existential crisis in the final season. Guillermo, who fulfilled his wish of becoming a vampire in the previous season’s finale, eventually realized that it did not make him happy and he chose to be a human.

The final season will showcase him contemplating his choices and exploring how he finally wants to live. Meanwhile, the rest of the group face their own existential issues as their roommate Jerry reenters their life after being in slumber for almost 50 years.

The vampires realize that they haven’t done much in half a century. Neither they have fulfilled any dream, nor they have accomplished any goal. Meanwhile, there will be some exciting scenes to look forward to as the official synopsis of the final installment reads:

"Nandor, Nadja, Laszlo, Colin, and Guillermo will enter the workforce, visit New Hampshire, go to a human dinner party, fête The Baron, and conjure a demon — all while trying to find their place and their purpose in this crazy, mixed-up world."

In the previous season, Guillermo was turning into a vampire, but he did not want others to find out, especially Nandor. Nandor felt lonely and tried to build better friendships, but things didn’t go as planned. Meanwhile, Nadja was upset after her vampire nightclub closed, while Laszlo became curious about Guillermo’s changes.

At the same time, Colin Robinson kept using his energy-draining powers to mess with people and even ran for political office. On the other hand, The Guide started to worry about being a new member of the group that has stayed together for centuries.
