‘Grimm’ to end after 6 seasons; David Giuntoli and cast react on show cancellation

“Grimm” has been cancelled. The US police procedural drama with a fairy tale twist will air its sixth and final season in January, NBC announced Monday.

When “Grimm” has been renewed for a sixth season in April, fans became worried as the upcoming season only received 13 episodes. The first five seasons all have 22 episodes each.

Unfortunately, fans were correct in their assumption that NBC would be dropping the show soon. The US television network has announced that the upcoming sixth season would be the show’s last.

The cast themselves were unsure if they would still have a job after the season. In an interview with TV Line in July, the actors said they treat each season as if it was the final one.

“We’ve been talking about that for three years, like if it’s the end, we don’t know,” Silas Weir Mitchell (Monroe) said.

“I think we kind of treat every season like [it’s the last],” Reggie Lee, who plays Sergeant Wu, said, adding they have been enjoying each other’s company more as a result.

Bree Turner (Rosalee Calvert) agreed. “We’ve just always been very present and very appreciative. And it’s just been a super fun ride.”

“It’s a gratitude season, not a funeral season,” David Giuntoli (Nick Burkhardt) added.

In season six, Nick will face off with Captain Sean Renard (played by Sasha Roiz), who is now the mayor elect of Portland. Nick will take a stand to protect the city and his loved ones, including his child with Adalind (played by Claire Coffee) from Renard’s own brand of law and order.

Monroe and Rosalee, meanwhile, will struggle with bringing their soon-to-be born child into the world, while Eve (played by Bitsie Tulloch) will face unsettling issues with her identity as her former self threatens to emerge.

“Grimm” season 6, also starring Russell Hornsby as Hank Griffin, will premiere on Jan. 6, 2017 on NBC in the US. It airs on both FOX8 and Seven in Australia.
