"March Madness" is the seventh episode of the sixth season of the American mockumentary comedy horror television series What We Do in the Shadows, set in the franchise of the same name.
It is the 57th overall episode of the series and was written by co-producers Jeremy Levick and Rajat Suresh, and directed by executive producer Yana Gorskaya.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.201 million household viewers and gained a 0.05 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.
Laszlo (Matt Berry) and Nandor (Kayvan Novak) quickly check on Sean (Anthony Atamanuik) at his house, who has been yelling constantly.
They try to pull this during a meeting with Jordan (Tim Heidecker), but Colin Robinson shocks the attendees by punching Guillermo.
The doctor diagnoses Sean with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, and warns that he could die due to his high blood pressure.
Laszlo promises to get Sean into a new athletic regime, while the Sports Demon leaves after his team loses a game.
In October 2024, FX confirmed that the seventh episode of the season would be titled "March Madness", and that it would be written by co-producers Jeremy Levick and Rajat Suresh, and directed by executive producer Yana Gorskaya.
Shadows is a series that pretty much only ever looks bad when compared to itself, but despite a few high points, and a few laugh-out loud moments, “March Madness” probably isn't going on any “greatest episodes of all time” lists, either.
"[5] Alan Sepinwall wrote, "we’ve gotten one banger after another set at Cannon Capital, this time with Colin Robinson trying to help Guillermo figure out his office “thing.” Even better was Laszlo and Nandor seeing Sean melting down over March Madness and assuming his behavior was due to demonic possession, because what else could explain such extreme highs and lows in so short a span?
