Grimm is an American fantasy police procedural drama television series created by Stephen Carpenter and Jim Kouf & David Greenwalt and produced by Universal Television for NBC. The series aired from October 28, 2011, to March 31, 2017, for 123 episodes, over six seasons. The series' narrative follows Portland homicide detective Nicholas Burkhardt (played by David Giuntoli), who discovers he is a Grimm, the latest in a line of guardians who is sworn to keep the balance between humanity and mythological creatures, known as Wesen. The series features a supporting cast with Russell Hornsby, Bitsie Tulloch, Silas Weir Mitchell, Sasha Roiz, Reggie Lee, Bree Turner, and Claire Coffee.
Grimm was originally developed for CBS, but did not end up moving forward due to the 2007–08 writers' strike. In January 2011, the series moved to NBC. It has been described as "a cop drama—with a twist ... a dark and fantastical project about a world in which characters inspired by Grimms' Fairy Tales exist",[1] though the stories and characters inspiring the show are also drawn from other sources. The series initially garnered mixed reviews from critics, though reception grew more favorable throughout the series' run. The sixth and final season of Grimm premiered on January 6, 2017, and concluded on March 31, 2017.
Synopsis
Homicide investigator Nick Burkhardt of the Portland Police Department learns he is descended from a line of guardians known as Grimms, charged with keeping balance between humanity and the Wesen, or mythological creatures of the world (Wesen is the German word for being or creature). Throughout the series, he must battle against an assortment of dangerous creatures with help from his Wesen friend, Monroe, and his partner, Detective Hank Griffin.
Black Claw and Hadrian's Wall (HW) are two opposing groups repeatedly mentioned in the series where many characters belong to these creature (wesen) groups.
Opening: "There once was a man who lived a life so strange, it had to be true. Only he could see what no one else can—the darkness inside, the real monster within, and he's the one who must stop them. This is his calling. This is his duty. This is the life of a Grimm."
Cast and characters
Main
- David Giuntoli as Detective Nicholas "Nick" Burkhardt, the eponymous Grimm, descended from a line of hunters who fight supernatural forces. He temporarily loses his Grimm power after the events of the season 3 finale, but regains them in the season 4 episode "Highway of Tears".
- Russell Hornsby as Detective Hank Griffin, Nick's Homicide partner, who is not initially aware that Nick is a Grimm. After learning the truth, he assists Nick in hunting rogue Wesen.
- Claire Coffee as Adalind Schade (recurring seasons 1 and 2 (part); regular seasons 2 (part) to 6), a witch-like Wesen called a Hexenbiest, who works for Renard. She loses her powers after ingesting Nick's blood. Seeking revenge, she poisons Juliette and colludes with Renard's half-brother, Eric, sleeping with both of them trying to conceive a royal baby. Eventually, she regains her powers through agonizing rituals while pregnant. With Sean she has a daughter, Diana Schade-Renard, who has unique powers. Later, she gives birth to a second child, a boy she names Kelly (after Kelly Burkhardt, Nick's mother). The boy's father is revealed to be Nick, with whom she had sex during a complex ritual to take his powers that involved her disguising herself as Juliette. After Juliette is transformed into Eve, Adalind moves in with Nick to care for Kelly. She and Nick eventually start a relationship.
- Silas Weir Mitchell as Monroe, a wolflike Wesen called a Blutbad,[2] who is Nick's direct source of insight and information into the supernatural community. He also helps Nick make contact with creatures that would normally avoid dealing with a Grimm. Eventually, he falls in love with and marries Rosalee, a Fuchsbau, despite opposition to their mixed marriage from a Wesen purity cult. They eventually have triplets together.
- Bitsie Tulloch as Nick's girlfriend Juliette Silverton (seasons 1 to 4), a veterinarian, and as Eve (seasons 5 and 6).
- Juliette is initially unaware of Nick's duties as a Grimm. He tells her in the finale of season 1, but by season 2, a magically induced amnesia has removed Nick from her memory altogether. She eventually regains her memories and learns the truth of Nick's abilities. In season 4, a series of events and dangerous spells results in Juliette becoming an exceptionally powerful Hexenbiest. Her plans for revenge culminate in the death of Nick's mother, and in the season 4 finale she is shot by Trubel with a crossbow bolt as she is about to kill Nick.
- Eve is a mysterious woman who has all of Juliette's memories and powers but none of her emotional attachments. In season 6, her powers are temporarily suppressed and her ability to feel emotions begins to return after Nick heals her with the stick.
- Sasha Roiz as Captain Sean Renard, Nick's adept and efficient superior. Renard is half Zauberbiest, a warlocklike-Wesen and is of royal lineage. His mother, Elizabeth (Louise Lombard), is a Hexenbiest and was mistress to his father, the king of Austria. He is also the father of Hexenbiest Adalind Schade's daughter, Diana. In season 5, he joins the pro-Wesen organization Black Claw, which seeks to put Wesen in positions of power over humans, and is elected mayor. In season 6, he resigns and returns to being Chief of Police.
- Reggie Lee as police Sergeant Drew Wu, who works with Nick and Hank, and tends to do "grunt work" for them, running down facts and information. Nick is eventually forced to tell him about the Wesen world after his involvement in numerous Wesen murder cases. In season 5, he is infected with Lycanthropia, gaining the ability to transform ("woge") into a Neanderthal-like version of a Blutbad.
- Bree Turner as Rosalee Calvert (recurring season 1; regular seasons 2 to 6), a foxlike Fuchsbau who takes over her brother's Wesen spice shop after he is murdered. She assists Nick and Monroe by providing information and preparing remedies for supernatural problems. She and Monroe marry in the season 3 finale and she reveals she is pregnant in the season 5 finale.
Recurring
- Danny Bruno as Bud Wurstner, a beaver-like Wesen known as an Eisbiber who works as a handyman in the Portland area. Bud first learned of Nick's status as a Grimm after nervously woging while fixing his and Juliette's fridge. Bud and Nick later became friends with Nick when Nick promised not to do what any other Grimm would have done, cutting off the Wesen's head. Bud repeatedly turns to Nick when tensions rise within the Wesen community and the two often help each other throughout the series.
- Jacqueline Toboni as Trubel, an orphaned Grimm who travels through the United States before eventually ending up in Portland. Trubel is introduced in the season 3 episode "Nobody Knows the Trubel I've Seen" when she becomes the prime suspect in a homicide when she meets Nick who tells her what a Grimm is and agrees to take her in as his protégée. Trubel later joins Hadrian's Wall under Meisner until Meisner and the rest of the resistance are killed by the Black Claw in the season 5 finale "Set Up".
- Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Nick's mother, Kelly Burkhardt. Originally thought to be dead by everyone, including Nick after she reportedly died in a car accident, Kelly comes to Portland when the Wesen who tried to kill her attempt to seize three powerful coins from Nick. Kelly then takes to destroy the coins back to Greece. After joining Hadrian's Wall, Kelly helps Adalind Schade and Meisner escape the royals by bringing Adalind back to Portland. She later takes Adalind's daughter away from Portland for safekeeping. Kelly dies in season 4's penultimate episode "The Headache" defending Nick's house from an onslaught of Verrat agents.
- Damien Puckler as Martin Meisner, a human leader within the resistance group Hadrian's Wall and former friend of Sean Renard. Originally serving as a European operative for Hadrian's Wall, Meisner was tasked with protecting the pregnant Adalind Schade and getting her out of Europe. Meisner eventually becomes the leader of Hadrian's Wall's operations in Portland, and recruits both Eve and Trubel into the organization. Meisner is killed in the season 5 finale after Sean Renard leads Conrad Bonaparte and Black Claw to the Hadrian's Wall base, where the Wesen kill all those inside. Renard then shoots his former friend in the head to end his suffering at the hand of the Zauberbiest Bonaparte. Following his death, Meisner appears as a manifestation of Captain Renard's guilt for betraying his friends, but the manifestation saves Renard's life by warning him of an ambush and obscuring the vision of one of the ambushers proving to be more than a manifestation.
Episodes
Many of the episodes are loosely based on stories published by the Brothers Grimm, albeit with considerable artistic license taken. For example, the pilot centered around a wolf-man who preyed on women who wore red. Other episodes are based on different sources, including fables and legends, not published by the Brothers Grimm.

Development and filming

In 2008, CBS canceled development on a drama called Brother Grimm, written by Stephen Carpenter and produced by CBS Paramount Television and Hazy Mills Productions, because of the 2007–08 writers' strike.[9]
In January 2011, NBC announced that they had given a pilot order to a series titled Grimm, pitched by David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf. The series was produced by Universal Media Studios and Hazy Mills Productions, with Greenwalt and Kouf also serving as executive producers for the series, along with Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner.[10][11] In May 2011, NBC picked up the pilot to series.[12]
Filming on the series began in March 2011, in and around Portland, Oregon.[13][14] Greenwalt and Kouf told Portland's NBC affiliate KGW that they chose Portland because of its plentiful forests in the city's two largest parks, Washington Park and Forest Park.[15]
On September 30, 2011, NBC delayed the debut of Grimm by one month, moving the premiere to October 28, 2011, so it could premiere closer to Halloween.[16] The series was slated on Friday nights for the majority of its first season.[17] On November 21, 2011, NBC picked up the series for a full 22-episode season.[18] NBC aired a special Thursday screening on December 8, 2011, at 10 pm to analyse whether the network's overall ratings could improve.[18][19]
On March 16, 2012, NBC announced that the series had been renewed for a second season;[20] according to writers/producers David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf, they would continue to film the show in Portland, saying, "Rain or shine, Portland has been the ideal setting for fairy tales with its enchanting layout. It is its own character in our show with the perfect mix of urban and rural settings."[21] The second season premiered on Monday, August 13, 2012, and continued on Mondays for four episodes, before returning to its original Friday timeslot on September 10.[22] NBC moved Grimm to Tuesday nights beginning April 30, 2013, for the remainder of Season 2.[23]
The series was renewed for a third season on April 26, 2013.[24] The third season premiered on October 25, 2013, which returned the show to its original Friday timeslot. On March 19, 2014, NBC announced that Grimm had been renewed for a fourth season, which premiered on October 24, 2014.[25][26]
On February 5, 2015, NBC renewed the series for a fifth season, which premiered on Friday, October 30, 2015.[27]
On April 5, 2016, NBC renewed the series for a sixth season, consisting of 13 episodes.[28][29] On August 29, 2016, it was announced that season six would serve as the series' final season.[30] The series concluded on March 31, 2017.[31]
Casting
David Giuntoli was the first to be cast in the series, in the titular role of Nick Burkhardt, in February 2011[32] He was followed by Silas Weir Mitchell as Monroe, the now-reformed "big bad wolf".[33] Following him, Russell Hornsby and Bitsie Tulloch were cast as Nick's partner Hank and his girlfriend, Juliette, respectively.[34] The following month, Sasha Roiz was cast as a series regular, in the role of Captain Sean Renard.[35]
Bree Turner, who guest starred in four episodes of Season 1 as Rosalee Calvert, was promoted to series regular for Season 2.[36] Claire Coffee, playing Adalind Schade, was also upgraded to series regular for Season 2.[37]
Reception
Critical reception
The series' premiere received mixed reviews from critics. On Metacritic the series has a score of 55 out of 100, based on reviews from 23 critics.[38]
The Hollywood Reporter's Tim Goodman felt that "[i]t has chills and humor and the ability to take a procedural story and twist it."[39] Mike Hale of The New York Times said, "Some of the jokes work, and some of the frights are actually scary, and on a repeat viewing the craftsmanship and attention to detail made more of an impression."[40]
Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times wrote in a mixed review that she preferred other fairy-tale themed dramas, such as ABC's Once Upon a Time, stating that despite a good cast and setting, Grimm puts an "entertaining crime spin on fairy-tale monsters that's a little too pat ... [And] adds up to a nice, moody, entertaining-enough hour and the troublesome question of how interesting this will be by the third episode."[41]
Daynah Burnett, who reviewed the program for PopMatters, felt "[a]s Grimm grasps for compelling analogues between fairy tales' villains and ours, its stories turn exceedingly literal: wolves urinate in the corners of their lawns to mark their territory, rather than lurk (and mark) in ways less obvious and more culturally meaningful. There's certainly room here for these archetypes to be explored as the series develops, but when Nick's prime suspect for the red-hoodie crimes turns out to live in an actual cottage in the woods, it doesn't bode well for how these stories might reflect the lives of viewers", before giving it a score of 4 out of 10.[42]
The second season received a more favorable response, with a score of 75 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on four reviews.[43] The Los Angeles Times reviewed the second-season premiere as, "it's hard not to love a show with a comely apothecary, and it's impossible not to love the new season of Grimm."[44]
Mike Hale of The New York Times said of season three, "Grimm is not a profound show (what is?), but few are more purely entertaining – engaging, clever, tense, funny, well paced and featuring a remarkably appealing cast as the friends and colleagues who help Nick."[45]
Ratings
A press release by NBC on November 11, 2011, stated, "Grimm and Up All Night Are the #1 New Drama and #1 New Comedy Among Top % Gainers Going from Live+Same Day to Live+7. Grimm is the #1 new drama on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox in terms of percentage increase from L+SD to L+7 so far this season and also the #1 new series and the #2 show overall behind only Fox's Fringe (+57%), growing by +49% in adults 18–49 (to a 2.98 rating from a 2.00)"[46] The series averaged about 6.4 million U.S. viewers during its first season,[21] and was consequently renewed for a second season.[20]
By Friday, September 28, 2012, "Grimm" had increased its adult 18-49 rating by 1.14 points going from "live plus same day" ratings to "live plus three day" results from Nielsen Media Research (from a 1.58 to a 2.72). The 1.14 increase was Grimm's biggest gain ever, going from L+SD to L+3. The 2.72 was Grimm's highest L+3 rating since the show's second-season premiere on Monday, August 13.[47]
