After six seasons and 123 episodes, NBC cancelled the monster-filled series “Grimm” back in 2017, but it seems popular shows never quite stay dead in today’s streaming landscape.
On that note, Deadline reports this afternoon that Peacock is developing the revival of “Grimm,” which will take the form of a feature film on the Peacock streaming service.
Deadline details in today’s exclusive report, “Drop Dead Diva creator Josh Berman is writing the new take, which he is executive producing with the original series’ creative team, co-creators/executive producers and showrunners David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf, Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner’s Hazy Mills Productions and Universal Television.”
“The exact premise of the Grimm movie is kept under wraps,” Deadline notes. “It is believed to have ties to the series for diehard fans but could also be easily accessed by new viewers not familiar with the original mythology as it introduces new mythology and characters.”
The original series followed homicide detective Nicholas Burkhardt (played by David Giuntoli), who discovers he is a Grimm, a descendant of hunters who fight supernatural forces.
“Grimm” went on to spawn a comic book series and a few novels set in the show’s world, while a female-led spinoff series that was announced in 2018 never ended up materializing.
Stay tuned for more on the upcoming “Grimm” movie as we learn it.
