Grimm blends police procedural with dark fairy tale, following Portland detective Nick Burkhardt as he learns he's a Grimm β one of a line of hunters able to see supernatural creatures hidden among humans. Across six seasons, the show weaves case-of-the-week mysteries into a rich, serialized mythology.
Set and filmed in Portland, Oregon, Grimm gave its supernatural creatures β called Wesen β a distinctive mythology drawn from folklore around the world. The show balanced monster-of-the-week storytelling with a growing ensemble of allies and enemies, and its steady blend of horror, humor, and heart earned it a loyal fanbase across six seasons on NBC.
