The Hustle Dynasty is an extended family of vampires. They appear in What We Do in the Shadows (TV series).

History[]

The family members were born between 1426 and 1666[1] and shared a love of disco music. In 2020, they were living in a large house together in Staten Island. As their home was similar to that of the house in which Jenna received her vampire training, the Mosquito Collectors of the Tri-State Area, a vampire hunting group, got the two mixed up and decided to infiltrate the Hustle Dynasty’s home.

One night, the group snuck in, split up and discovered the multiple sleeping residents, who suddenly awoke and attacked them. Guillermo fought them off, killing several of them, and rescued fellow members Shanice, Claude and Tonya, but was unable to save Derek, who was taken by the vampires.[2] Although the Mosquito Collectors assumed he was dead, it would later be revealed that the Dynasty turned Derek into a vampire, but left him without a mentor.[3]

The Vampiric Council blamed the vampire deaths on Nandor, Nadja, Laszlo and Colin Robinson, just like they did with multiple other unrelated vampires Guillermo had killed. The four vampires were invited to the Théâtre des Vampires, where they were trapped and forced to watch a re-enactment of the supposed murders before an attempted execution attempt. The execution was prevented by Guillermo slaying most of the audience and actors at the theatre.[1]
