Prosthetics Designer Paul Jones explains how Nadja Doll has become a fan-favorite character, despite only being designed for one episode.
The Big Picture While FX’s What We Do in the Shadows is a masterclass in ensemble performances, there’s no arguing that each character on the series has their own stand-out personality making it incredibly difficult to pick a favorite. From the draining rants of Colin Robinson to Laszlo’s insatiable sex drive, each of the vampires brings something completely different to the table.
“I think that’s a lot to do with Natasia [Demetriou]’s performance,” Jones says when asked why he thinks fans have responded so positively to the talking doll. “No one’s ever had a tiny childlike doll be as abusive and sarcastic and offensive as our character is. That’s the charm of the character,” Jones explains.
According to Jones, the doll was only meant to be in that one episode, meaning that he didn’t put quite as much tender love and care into its creation as he would have had he known what an integral piece of the gang she’d become. “It’s turned into a series regular,” Jones said, “which has been great for my puppeteers because they’re in every week, doing this doll. But that doll was built for one episode, and it’s been running for three seasons now.
'What We Do in the Shadows' Props Are Tough as Nails Just like her vampire form, Nadja doll is a tough gal. That’s thanks to Jones and the rest of his team with the prosthetics designer commenting, “Luckily, we built it better than I realized, so she’s still going strong, after five full seasons.” Even though her legs were brutally crushed when vampire Nadja sat on them, and she’s been the butt of the joke several times this season, Nadja doll can handle anything thrown her way.
The first four seasons of What We Do in the Shadows are now streaming on Hulu with new Season 5 episodes available weekly. Check out the Season 5 trailer below.
