Grimm is an American occult detective police procedural drama series. It debuted in the U.S. on NBC on October 28, 2011. The show 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", although the stories and characters inspiring the show are also drawn from other sources.
On April 5, 2016 NBC renewed Grimm for a sixth season, consisting of 13 episodes. On August 29, 2016, NBC announced the sixth season would be the final season which premiered on January 6, 2017.
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 , 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.
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."
Many of the episodes are loosely based on stories published by The Brothers Grimm, albeit with considerable artistic license. For example, the pilot centered around a wolf-man who preyed on women who wore red. Other episodes are based on other sources, including fables and legends, not published by The Brothers Grimm.
In 2008, CBS canceled development on a drama called Brother Grimm, from Stephen Carpenter and production companies CBS Paramount Television and Hazy Mills Productions, because of the writers' strike.
In January 2011, NBC announced that it had ordered a series titled Grimm.David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf co-wrote the pilot, which was directed by Marc Buckland. Filming for the pilot began in March in Portland, Oregon. In May 2011, NBC announced that it had picked up the series for a full season.
