Um…anon…I’m pretty sure that entire interview was a giant trollfest. Seriously, I’ve seen it before: writers troll the ever-loving fuck out of fandom during the hiatus. If something is going to happen, they’ll tell you it won’t. If something isn’t going to happen, they’ll tell you it will.
You cannot trust literally anything you hear about Grimm season 5 in the upcoming months, because only some of it will be true, a lot of it will be misleading, and most of it will be out-and-out trolling designed to get the fandom all excited/riled for the show’s return.
But even if that weren’t the case, the entire tone of this interview is light, joking, full of the creators laughing and not being serious, and when asked if they’re being serious, refusing to answer the question directly. I mean c’mon, this is a literal quote about what Nick will be doing in season 5 from that interview: “All the episodes are him, grieving. It’s 12 episodes of him, alone in a room, feeling bad.”
