18+Season 1
Synopsis
Wellington Paranormal Season 1 (2018) is a New Zealand mockumentary comedy you can watch online on iFILM — six episodes spun off from What We Do in the Shadows. Two flat-voiced beat cops suddenly find themselves on the supernatural beat.
It kicks off with a teenage girl who looks blackout drunk and turns out to be possessed. Sergeant Maaka reads the signs, sets up a Paranormal Unit, and ropes in Officers Minogue and O'Leary. After that each episode is one straight-faced callout: a cow stuck up a tree and probable aliens, a 70s house party full of ghosts, a denim-wearing werewolf loose in Lower Hutt, some unsettling clowns, and a shift that is suspiciously ordinary. The finale hands things over to zombie cops who have to be stopped before Friday night downtown.
The joke is the deadpan — the way these two file the absurd into a routine police report. Dry, charming, unmistakably Kiwi. Stream Wellington Paranormal Season 1 online on iFILM.
