The series revolves around the vampires interacting with the modern world and other supernatural beings.
Cast and characters
Main
- Kayvan Novak as Nandor the Relentless – Once the bloodthirsty leader of the fictional kingdom of Al-Quolanudar in southern Iran and a warrior serving the Ottoman Empire. At age 760, he is the oldest vampire and the self-proclaimed leader of the group, leading him to frequently calling house meetings for frivolous discussions. Although he genuinely cares for his human familiar Guillermo, he has difficulty expressing it. Nandor is also quite naive to the ways of modern society and humans, which often results in Guillermo becoming frustrated with him. He is a massive fan of the 1992 Dream Team and collects much of their memorabilia; they also inspired him to apply for American citizenship, but he fails his test after being physically unable to say the phrase One Nation, Under God.
- Matt Berry as Leslie Laszlo Cravensworth – A 310 year old British nobleman vampire who was turned by Nadja and is now married to her. He is bisexual and a former porn actor, who is often preoccupied with thoughts of sex; he enjoys sexual relationships with both Nadja and Nandor. He also enjoys making topiary sculptures of vulvas in the yard, including those of his wife and mother. He confessed in season 1 to having been Jack the Ripper. In season 2, he briefly goes on the run and assumes the alias Jackie Daytona , a regular human bartender in Clairton, Pennsylvania (which he chose because it sounded like Transylvania).
- Natasia Demetriou as Nadja of Antipaxos – A 500 year old Greek Romani vampire who turned Laszlo into a vampire and later married him. She is frequently frustrated with her male housemates and nostalgic about her human life. She has entertained an affair with a reincarnated knight named Gregor for hundreds of years, only for him to be decapitated in every reincarnation. In season 3, she reveals that she frequently collaborated with the Rat Pack and later becomes manager of her own vampire nightclub in season 4. Demetriou also plays Nadja s human ghost, split from its corporeal form when Nadja was turned into a vampire. The ghost later inhabits a doll, and appears as a recurring character since season two.

- Harvey Guillén as Guillermo de la Cruz – Nandor s long-suffering Latino familiar. Despite his frustration with his unreasonable workload and Nandor s disregard for his mortality, he has served his master for more than a decade in the hope of being made a vampire, a dream inspired by Armand in the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire. Late in season one, Guillermo discovers that he is a descendant of the famous vampire hunter Abraham Van Helsing, and he proves to be very skilled at killing vampires (including by accident), giving him conflicting feelings about his desire to become a vampire. Guillermo s skill as a vampire slayer leads to him becoming a bodyguard for Nandor, Nadja, and Laszlo in the third season. He reveals he is gay in the fourth season, coming out to his family, with Nadja having to erase their memories about Guillermo s confession about wishing to become a vampire.
- Mark Proksch as Colin Robinson (seasons 1–3) and Baby Colin The Boy (season 4) – An energy vampire who lives in the basement. He lives by draining humans and vampires of their energy by being boring or frustrating. As a day walker , he is not harmed by sunlight or entry into churches and is able to work in a cubicle office and feed on his coworkers frustrations. Unlike the others, he shows no outward sign of vampirism except that his irises glow when he feeds on energy, and his reflection shows a pale and decrepit version of himself. The others are continually annoyed by him and often try to avoid associating with him. In the third season finale, following Colin Robinson s 100th birthday, he dies and his infant offspring (also portrayed by Proksch) bursts out of his chest; Laszlo (having become friends with the original Colin) elects to raise the child as his own.
Recurring
- Anthony Atamanuik as Sean Rinaldi – The human next-door neighbor. He sometimes witnesses Laszlo doing something vampiric, but is easily hypnotized into forgetting everything. The vampires spare him because he brings their trash cans in when they forget, though Laszlo considers Sean his best friend and even makes sexual advances toward him (which Sean forgets due to hypnosis).
- Beanie Feldstein as Jenna – a LARPer and virgin whom Guillermo lured for the vampires to feast on. She was later transformed into a vampire by Nadja who witnessed her being treated poorly by her peers. During her vampire training with Nadja, she discovers she has the rare ability to turn invisible, which fits the tendency of people to ignore her. (season 1)
- Doug Jones as Baron Afanas – An ancient vampire from the Old Country who believes vampires should rule the world. Both Nadja and Laszlo had secret affairs with the Baron despite his lack of genitals. Later it is disclosed that he is not actually a Baron, but simply barren because he was unable to have children. In the first season, Guillermo inadvertently kills the Baron by opening a door and exposing him to sunlight. In the third season, however, it is revealed that he barely survived, albeit reduced to his head, torso and left arm. He finally has his full body restored with a more youthful appearance in the fourth season. (seasons 1, 3–4)
- Nick Kroll as Simon the Devious – A vampire who rules over the Manhattan vampires and owns the Sassy Cat nightclub. He was a close friend to the Staten Island trio when all the vampires first arrived in America. He is obsessed with Laszlo s cursed hat made out of witch skin. (guest seasons 1–2, 4)
- Jake McDorman as Jeff Suckler – A reincarnation of Nadja s former human lover, Gregor, a knight who has been killed by decapitation in each of his lives. Nadja eventually restores Jeff s memories of his previous lives so that he can be more like his former self, leading to him falling into insanity and being committed to a mental institution. It is later revealed to Nadja and Gregor that Laszlo had been causing each of his deaths through history, which he does again. (season 1; guest season 2)
- Veronika Slowikowska as Shanice – Jenna s college roommate who witnesses her transformation into a vampire. Shanice later joins the Mosquito Collectors of the Tri-State Area, a secret team of amateur vampire hunters. (seasons 1–2)
- Kristen Schaal as The Guide (also known as the Floating Woman ) – An envoy of the Vampiric Council who likes to float and sometimes speak in a demonic voice.
