Wellington Paranormal was born as a highly unlikely spin-off of the Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi-directed cult-smash What We Do in the Shadows. I can promise you nobody was more surprised than Karen O’Leary and I when Jemaine told us on a recent episode of the Wellington Paranormal Podcast that he turned to Taika within 45 seconds of our first scene as Officers Minogue and O’Leary and said ‘These two should have their own TV show.’ Taika apparently agreed.
