Grimm Renewed For A Second Season

18 Mar

It’s a fairy tale story for new US show Grimm, as NBC grants the wishes of its fans and gives the series a second season.

According to TVLine: “The Friday drama has been a rare bright spot this season for NBC, which has seen nearly all of its rookie dramas — The Playboy Club, The Firm, Free Agents and Prime Suspect — quickly crash and burn. With its most recent outing, Grimm drew 5.2 million total viewers, but of significance is the fact that at last tally, it’s 18-49 age group numbers enjoyed the largest increase — 87 percent! — of any network series in DVR Live+7 data.”

Grimm, which stars David Guintoli as a man who can see the monsters who walk among us that other people can’t see, airs in the UK on Watch at 9pm every Monday. A much darker take on small screen fairy tales than Once Upon A Time, it combines police procedural elements with fantasy folklore.

Grimm has been picked up for a full season.

NBC announced on Monday (November 21) that the fairytale thriller had received a full season order, after averaging nearly 7 million viewers since premiering in late October.

“We are very pleased to be making a full-season commitment for Grimm,” NBC Chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement.

“This series is turning the traditional procedural drama on its head and is attracting a loyal following for us on Friday nights,” he continued. “We love where it’s going creatively and we’re excited to deliver more episodes to our audience.”

Last week, the network ordered two additional scripts for the paranormal drama, which stars David Giuntoli as homicide detective Nick Burkhardt.

Silas Weir Mitchell, who plays a werewolf named Monroe on the NBC series, recently described the show as the anti-Twilight.

Grimm airs on Fridays at 9pm on NBC in the US and will air on Watch in the UK in early 2012.
