Grimm is an American fantasy police procedural drama television series created by Stephen Carpenter, Jim Kouf and David Greenwalt, and produced by Universal Television for NBC. The series premiered on October 28, 2011, and ended on March 31, 2017, after six seasons consisting of 123 episodes. 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.
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.
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] eschewing another supernatural police procedural, Ronald D. Moore's 17th Precinct.[13]
Filming on the series began in March 2011, in and around Portland, Oregon.[14][15] 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.[16]
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.[17] The series was slated on Friday nights for the majority of its first season.[18] On November 21, 2011, NBC picked up the series for a full 22-episode season.[19] NBC aired a special Thursday screening on December 8, 2011, at 10 pm to analyse whether the network's overall ratings could improve.[19][20]
On March 16, 2012, NBC announced that the series had been renewed for a second season;[21] 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."[22] 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.[23] NBC moved Grimm to Tuesday nights beginning April 30, 2013, for the remainder of Season 2.[24]
The series was renewed for a third season on April 26, 2013.[25] 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.[26][27]
On April 5, 2016, NBC renewed the series for a sixth season, consisting of 13 episodes.[29][30] On August 29, 2016, it was announced that season six would serve as the series' final season.[31] The series concluded on March 31, 2017.[32]
David Giuntoli was the first to be cast in the series, in the titular role of Nick Burkhardt, in February 2011[33] He was followed by Silas Weir Mitchell as Monroe, the now-reformed "big bad wolf".[34] Following him, Russell Hornsby and Bitsie Tulloch were cast as Nick's partner Hank and his girlfriend, Juliette, respectively.[35] The following month, Sasha Roiz was cast as a series regular, in the role of Captain Sean Renard.[36]
Bree Turner, who guest starred in four episodes of Season 1 as Rosalee Calvert, was promoted to series regular for Season 2.[37] Claire Coffee, playing Adalind Schade, was also upgraded to series regular for Season 2.[38]
The series' premiere received mixed reviews from critics. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds a 54% approval rating based on 37 reviews, with an average rating of 5.4/10. The site's critics consensus reads, "Moody and dark, Grimm gives supernatural fantasy a TV procedural sheen."[39] On Metacritic, the first season has a score of 55 out of 100, based on reviews from 23 critics.[40]
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."[41] 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."[42]
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."[43]
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.[44]
The second season received a more favorable response, with a score of 75 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on four reviews.[45] The season holds a 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 11 reviews. The critics consensus reads, "Grimm continues expanding upon its own mythology during a darker, thrilling sophomore season."[46] 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."[47]
Novelist John Shirley was hired to write the first novel based on the Grimm television show. Grimm: The Icy Touch was published by Titan Books on November 5, 2013,[69] and book 2, Grimm: The Chopping Block, written by John Passarella, was published February 18, 2014.[70] The third novel, Grimm: The Killing Time, was written by Tim Waggoner and was published on September 30, 2014.[71]
On October 16, 2018, NBC announced that a spin-off of the series was in development. The potential new series would focus on another Grimm and would continue to build off the mythology of the original series.[72] As of June 2021, the project is dead.[73]

For example, the first time a Reaper of Grimms appears his scythe says Erntemaschinen der Grimms. This is German for "Reapers of Grimms", but as you might guess from the maschinen it means an automated harvesting machine. I think they word they wanted would be Schnitter but in a later episode it's been changed to Vernichter, "destroyer".
Some like Blutbaden are more subtle - Blutbad is the correct term for bloodbath in German, but the plural is Blutbder, not Blutbaden. Blutbaden is more like "to bathe in blood" or "bloodbathing", although I don't think it's really a word.
Worst is the Mellifer queen. Mellifera is the Latin species name for honeybees. But they call the leader of the hive Mellischwuler which is like, honey gay - as in homosexual. The only explanation I have for this is that they looked up "queen" in a translation dictionary but read one definition too far and hit the translation for "queer".
Those names are not used in written or spoken German nor are they used in the original Grimm fairytales. They are very loosely based on the German language but it is often obvious that the person who made them up for the show was not a native German speaker.
Well I am a native German speaker and I love the show but when I hear these words... Okay I know they should based on the German language but nobody is saying anything like this in Germany and these words are false(grammar) ... For instance blutbaden means something like to take a bath in blood but the person who made these words wanted to say bloodbath and that would be blutbader in German. It's funny because in the German translation of the show all words are correct, but on one hand side it's ridiculous but on the other hand side it's so funny because you notice that the writer isn't a native German speaker.
