Behind the Shadows is a podcast series hosted by Harvey Guillén, usually joined by a different guest each episode. Each guest is one of the cast or crew members from the What We Do in the Shadows TV series.
Unlike Deacon's Podcast, which featured Jonathan Brugh as Deacon Brücke, Guillén and his guest stars do not remain in character, and the focus of the podcast is primarily a behind-the-scenes look at the show and its stars. With the exception of bonus episodes, each podcast episode coincides with an episode of the same name from the fourth season of What We Do in the Shadows.
The show is preceded by Season 2's Before the Shadows and Season 3's After the Shadows, also hosted by Guillén.
