‘Grimm’ Reboot Movie in the Works At Peacock

The beloved series “Grimm,” known for its dark fantasy, is making a comeback, but not exactly in the manner fans anticipated. Previously, NBC concluded its six-season run of “Grimm” in 2017, with a spinoff announced soon after, only to be quietly canceled as well. For more than six years, there had been no news about this property until now. The revival of “Grimm” is taking place for the contemporary streaming market, this time in the form of a complete feature film.

As reported by Deadline, Peacock is in the process of creating a film remake of NBC’s Grimm. This upcoming movie will be penned by Josh Berman, the creator of Drop Dead Diva, and will be produced by the original creative team behind the show, including co-showrunners David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf. At this point, specific plot details are limited, but it’s been mentioned that the Grimm film presents a fresh starting point within the same universe. The movie is expected to introduce new characters, while maintaining connections to the original series for the show’s dedicated fanbase. If Grimm proves successful once again, it could potentially spawn a new franchise for Peacock.

In a more casual and streamlined phrasing: Portland detective Nick Burkhardt, who comes from an ancestral line of warriors called Grimms, protects his city against supernatural beings known as Wesen, which are half human and half animal. Working with his partner Hank, fellow officer Sergeant Wu, friends Monroe and Rosalee, Nick confronts challenges from within and without, including his police captain, Sean Renard.

All 6 Seasons of ‘Grimm’ Are Now Streaming

The fact that the announcement about the show’s reboot isn’t just a mere coincidence, considering all six seasons of Grimm are now available on Peacock. This underrated fantasy series from the 2010s, titled Grimm, offered an engaging blend of procedural and fantasy elements, making weekly mysteries out of classic fairy tales and folklore. Airing on NBC during Friday nights on a modest budget, the show’s visual effects and makeup may not stand the test of time, but Grimm managed to achieve more than many with the resources at hand. In terms of comparison, Once Upon a Time, which was broadcast on ABC around the same period, might be better known and more recognizable. However, while Once Upon a Time catered to Disney enthusiasts and maintained a generally cheerful tone, Grimm aimed for a grittier, less IP-centric take on fairy tale retellings.

If you haven’t seen the series Grimm, the upcoming film could serve as a perfect introduction for new viewers. The world of Grimm is extensive, and the show primarily explored just one segment of its mythological universe in Portland, Oregon. But if beloved characters like Detective Nick (David Giuntoli) or Eve (Bitsie Tulloch from Superman & Lois) make an appearance, now might be a great time to familiarize yourself with the NBC series. It’s uncertain whether the movie will continue plotlines from the original show, but viewers who are already fans of Grimm will likely be most ready for it.
