Grimm was originally developed for CBS, but plans were canceled due to the writers' strike.
Homicide investigator Nick Burkhardt of the Portland Police Department learns he is descended from a line of guardians known as Grimms, charged with keeping balance between humanity and the Wesen, or mythological creatures of the world (Wesen is the German word for being or creature). Throughout the series, he must battle against an assortment of dangerous creatures, with help from his Wesen friend, Monroe, and his partner, Detective Hank Griffin.[3]
Black Claw and Hadrian's Wall (HW) are two opposing groups repeatedly mentioned in the series; many characters belong to these creature (wesen) groups.
Opening: "There once was a man who lived a life so strange, it had to be true. Only he could see what no one else can—the darkness inside, the real monster within, and he's the one who must stop them. This is his calling. This is his duty. This is the life of a Grimm."
Cast and characters
- David Giuntoli as Detective Nicholas "Nick" Burkhardt, the eponymous Grimm, descended from a line of hunters who fight supernatural forces. He temporarily loses his Grimm power after the events of the season 3 finale, but regains them in the season 4 episode "Highway of Tears".
- Russell Hornsby as Detective Hank Griffin, Nick's Homicide partner, who is not initially aware that Nick is a Grimm. After discovering the truth, Hank assists Nick in hunting rogue Wesen.
- Bitsie Tulloch as Nick's girlfriend Juliette Silverton (seasons 1 to 4), a Veterinary physician, and Eve (seasons 5 and 6). She is originally unaware of Nick's duties as a Grimm until he tells her in the finale of season 1. By season 2, however, a magically induced amnesia removes Nick from her memory altogether. She eventually regains her memories and learns the truth of Nick's abilities. In season 4, a series of events and dangerous spells results in Juliette becoming an exceptionally powerful Hexenbiest. After her plans for revenge culminate in the death of Nick's mother, she is shot with a crossbow by Trubel in the season 4 finale as she is about to kill Nick. In season 5, Tulloch plays "Eve", a mysterious woman who has all of Juliette's memories and powers but none of her emotional attachments. In season 6, her powers seem to be temporarily suppressed and her ability to feel emotions is returning after Nick healed her with the stick.
- Silas Weir Mitchell as Monroe, a wolflike Wesen called a Blutbad[4] who serves as Nick's direct source of insight and information into the supernatural community. He also helps Nick make contact with creatures that would avoid Nick due to his status as a Grimm. Eventually, Monroe falls in love with and marries Rosalee, who is Fuchsbau, despite facing some hostility from a Wesen cult focused on purity, due to their mixed marriage. They later have triplets together.
- Sasha Roiz as Captain Sean Renard, Nick's adept and efficient superior. Renard is Zauberbiest, which is the male of a Hexenbiest (witch/warlock+beast) and prince bastard. His mother, Elizabeth (Louise Lombard), is a Hexenbiest and his father was the king of Austria. He is also the father of Hexenbiest Adalind Schade's daughter, Diana. In season 5 he joins pro-Wesen organization Black Claw, which seeks to put Wesen in positions of power over humans and he is elected as mayor. In season 6, he resigns from his political state and becomes chief of police again.
- Reggie Lee
- Bree Turner as Rosalee Calvert (recurring season 1; regular seasons 2 to 6), a foxlike creature called a Fuchsbau who takes over her brother's Wesen spice shop after he is murdered. Rosalee assists Nick and Monroe in their efforts by providing information and remedies to supernatural problems. She marries Monroe in the season 3 finale and reveals she is pregnant in the season 5 finale.
- Claire Coffee as Adalind Schade (recurring seasons 1 and 2 (part); regular seasons 2 (part) to 6), a witch-like Wesen called a Hexenbiest who is working for Renard. After ingesting Nick's blood, she becomes a normal human being. Seeking revenge, she poisons Juliette and colludes with Renard's half-brother Eric, sleeping with both of them trying to conceive a royal baby. Eventually she regains her powers through agonizing rituals, while pregnant. She has a daughter with Sean, Diana Schade-Renard, who has unique powers. Later on, she gives birth by emergency C-section to her second child, a boy she names Kelly (after Kelly Burkhardt) whose father is revealed to be Nick, as she raped him during a complex ritual to take his powers that involved her disguising herself as Juliette. After Juliette is transformed into Eve, Adalind moves in with Nick to care for Kelly.
Episodes
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.
