Grimm Poll!

What “monster of the week” did you find scariest or most awesome? Which one(s) did you want to know more about?

@likesapphirestars Yeah, that one was hella creepy. And they kind of hint a few times thay there are forces beyond the surface of the Grimm world, but never delve deeper. I wish they’d had more time to really get into all of that.

@theloneliesttimeline @impossibleclair YES. UGH. That guy made my skin crawl. The only good thing about that episode was that it gave us Nick the Fruit Ninja.

They’re doing a Grimm spin off. The writer and executive producer worked on Iron Fist. Any thoughts to make this sound okay?

Okay so first of all, thank you for this!

I haven’t been as vigilant as I’d like about keeping up with Grimm news since the show ended, so your ask was the first I had heard that they were moving forward with anything spin-offy!

As for your worries, a few things:

  • Iron Fist is only the most recent thing Melissa Glenn has worked on. She’s also worked on Leverage, Falling Skies, Zoo, Revolution, Hawaii Five-0, and Beauty and the Beast.
  • At least some of those are damn good shows with excellent writing, characters, and production values.
  • Everyone writes on something crappy at some point in their career, so take heart from that.
  • Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner, who were the executive producers of Grimm, will be executive producers on the spin-off as well.
  • David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf, also from Grimm, will be consulting producers on the spin-off.
  • That means all of the folks responsible for the continuity and “big M mythology” of the original series will be back to make sure it’s true to the world we know and love.
  • Some characters from the original will make appearances in the spin-off.
  • The spin-off’s lead character will reportedly be a female Grimm.
  • New mysteries! Expanded mythology! New Grimm content, okay. New. Grimm. Content. Our little show that could is all grown up and becoming a ‘verse!

That’s all of the official stuff. Now here are a few wishful things a spin-off could mean:

  • Answers to questions that the original series never answered, like how Grimm powers get activated, how magic works, whether Kelly has powers, whatever happened to Roddy Geiger, etc.
  • More of Trubel, Bud, and others we never got to see enough of.
  • A chance for the writers to include better representation for minorities than they had last time around.
  • More backstory and mythology about the Grimms and the Wesen world.
  • A chance to see what happened with the Royals, the Resistance, Hadrian’s Wall, and the Wesen Council after Black Claw decimated them and then was itself decimated.
  • A chance to address some of the wtf-y stuff they never got to, like ghosts, gods, etc.
  • More info about what happens to our faves during that 20-year gap between the end of Nick’s story and the trailer epilogue.
  • A chance to meet the triplets and learn their names.
  • A chance to see teenage Kelly and Diana bickering like siblings do (levitate him, Di!).
  • Executive producers who’ve (hopefully) learned from the mistakes they made in seasons 4-5.
  • If we’re very, very lucky…more shirtless rage.

And if that’s not enough to get you excited, consider this: this show is only in the very early stages of development. A lot of things can happen to trap a show indefinitely in development hell. So…it may never happen.

But I hope it does. Because honestly, the news that Grimm was getting a spin-off made my entire week.

What mythical creature, urban legend, or Halloween horror story do you wish we had gotten to see Grimm’s take on?

@impossibleclair That would be cool, but it probably never crossed their minds because they thought they were on the wrong coast for it! Which is too bad, because it’d have been neat to see them delve into some of the myths that predate the Sleepy Hollow legend, like the Dullahan.

@sharkbite-666 Jesus you went for maximum creep factor. I don’t know why, but the Bunny Man story freaks me the hell out like few urban legends can. Definitely would’ve been cool, especially as like a Halloween episode!

@autumnsoldier13 Yes!! Why did they not do this? They did like two other fire creatures but never a Phoenix! Grimm writers EXPLAIN!

@sylargrimm Interesting! I think they probably steered away from that one because there’s so much other vampire stuff out there, but it WOULD have been cool to see their take on it. They always did find intriguing ways to twist a well-known story into something new.
