Some of you might have felt it coming, while many probably refused to believe it could happen, but here it is: NBC has decided today, an otherwise nondescript entry in , is the day on which it would pull the plug on the creature-filled drama Grimm. There will be no Season 7 for Nick and his Portland crew, and you know what else? Apparently we're not even going to get to watch the final season until next year. We're trying to be optimistic here, NBC, but come on!
The way this news came out is pretty infuriating as well. Grimm 's fate did indeed come from NBC, but rather than a dedicated announcement or something from the rumor grapevine, it was revealed in a press release that compiled the network's other January premieres. So while it was nice to read about Jon Lovitz joining Celebrity Apprentice this year for Arnold Schwarzenegger's first season , it was not so great to see Grimm 's cancellation coupled with a start date months after the late-October debut that was originally planned for.
In the same TV Lin e article, Giuntoli said that everyone was grateful that the "rug [wasn't] pulled" out from under them, something that does happen in the cutthroat world of network television, after all. Grimm always felt like an oddball in NBC's lineup. It debuted in a season that was crowded with fairy tale-inspired content. Both shows defied their middling reviews to live a full life on their respective networks. Heck, after Grimm was canceled, Once Upon a Time carried on for another year!
Grimm 's final season actually saw an uptick in the ratings from a series-low 5. Season 6's 6. As a result, we might be returning to the Grimm universe down the line. Whether he's wisecracking, poking fun at Nick and Hank for arriving at the crime scene later than he got there, or going mad over not understanding what was going on with the Wesen, Wu is a very likable character.
Reggie Lee wasn't supposed to have such a large role on the show, but the writers loved him so much that they wrote him in much more often, giving him his own arcs, such as the Lycanthrope story, and ensuring that fans got enough of his one-liners.
Kelly, Nick's son with the hexenbiest Adalind, who tricked him into sleeping with her by posing as his girlfriend, Juliette, was played by a total of eight babies for the show. Although Kelly is a boy, six of the infant actors were girls. There's really no way for the audience to know otherwise.
Claire Coffee, who plays Adalind Schade, says that they were all equally adorable and luckily easy to work with. She also enjoyed working with the babies because they helped her scenes go more quickly. The Writer's Guild of America Strike of had some heavy impact on entertainment in general, from nixing regular entertainment awards that are normally run on TV to causing the layoff of hundreds of support staff.
Fans of Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, the Men in Black series, and other sci-fi adventures know that it takes someone with wicked skills to bring movie monsters to life. Luckily Barney Burman, who worked on all of those productions and other favorites, like How the Grinch Stole Christmas , worked on Grimm. Burman says that knowing both makeup and prosthetics just makes him better at both arts, and we are inclined to agree. He's mastered the art of both makeup and prosthetics in a way only a true expert can.
One of the best things that makes Grimm feel so real is that it was filmed in the actual region where it takes place. This lush location gives us not only the gorgeous background that brings fairy tales to life, but it makes the chase seem all the more real, whether Nick and his partner are looking for a missing person or a dangerous beast only a Grimm can take out.
Sometimes the release of media is crucial to its success, and when the premiere of Grimm , which was originally scheduled for September 30, , was moved to October 28, it was purely to bank on the spooky upcoming holiday to help increase viewer interest.
This turned out to be genius marketing, given that it resulted in 6. Grimm also has a history of excellent Halloween episodes, particularly when they feature blutbad Monroe Silas Weir Mitchell taking on particularly wicked trick-or-treaters and engulfing his home with seasonal decorations. Having pitched the idea with Todd Milliner back in , not only was he ahead of the big fairy tale resurgence in TV and film, but Hayes was also persistent enough to make it happen after years of setbacks.
With the idea of a show that was dark and scary but still fun, complete with monsters and the ever-popular crime show twist, they truly created a new spin on the Brothers Grimm. Grimm has employed some guest stars with serious acting chops in the past, lending those episodes some extra star power. Amy Acker , a TV star known for her roles in everything from Angel to Alias to The Gifted , played an incredible spider-woman in the episode "Tarantella".
The Wesen has to feast on young men in order to remain young, giving her some wicked scenes. Reg E. He woges into a puffer-fish-like creature known as Cracher-Mortel and is the main bad guy in a few episodes. When it comes to movie monsters, we often get cold, creepy creatures who haunt our nightmares but have little to no humanity in them. Not all shows get that luxury. We've seen plenty of dramas and even comedieshere's looking at you My Name Is Earl end on a cliffhanger before.
That's not something that should be happening with Grimm. And if you like what you saw on the series, the Grimm creators already have another show in the works. It will be followed by newcomer Emerald City at 9 p.
