David Giuntoli is So Ready for the “Grimm” Spin-Off

NBC is developing a potential female-fronted Grimm spin-off for next TV season, and even though the show doesn’t have a cast or a title yet, they already have a big fan in one familiar face: David Giuntoli.

The actor who led the original Grimm series for six seasons as Nick Burkhardt revealed to TV Guide that he is psyched NBC is trying to find a way to keep the Grimm world alive for the fans, including himself.

“I could not be more thrilled that NBC is developing a Grimm spin-off,” he said. “I thought it was such a wonderful show and we built just a vibrant, colorful world. To not be able to play in that world any longer seems like such a waste. So I could not be happier for everyone involved in the Grimm spin-off.”

What’s better is that Giuntoli hasn’t ruled out making an appearance either. He just has one small request that shouldn’t be too hard to oblige.

“I just want them to roll old Nick Burkhardt, his old bag of bones, off the couch every now and again for a ‘special guest star,'” he said. “And hopefully the new female lead can do all the fight scenes.”

That’s fair since the original show ended with a flash-forward that showed Nick’s grown-up children taking on the Grimm mantle. If the spin-off decides to pick up with adult Dianna in the lead, it would make sense that older Nick wouldn’t be physically down for punching demons, just there to offer some sage advice for how his daughter — or whoever leads the series — should do it.

It’ll be months before NBC makes an official decision about the Grimm spin-off, though. In the meantime, Giuntoli stars on ABC’s emotional drama A Million Little Things, which airs Wednesdays at 10/9c on ABC.

‘Grimm’ Spinoff in the Works at NBC

The new show would build on the world established in ‘Grimm,’ which ran for six seasons on NBC before ending in 2017.

NBC is going back to its Grimm past: The network is developing a spinoff of the series, which ran for six seasons.

The new project, from writer Melissa Glenn (Zoo, Leverage) and Grimm producers Universal TV and Hazy Mills, would be a continuation of Grimm‘s world. Building on the mythology of the original series, the spinoff will feature returning favorites along with new characters, new mysteries and new dangers.

Glenn and Hazy Mills principals Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner are executive producing. Jim Kouf and David Greenwalt, two of Grimm’s three co-creators (along with Stephen Carpenter), will serve as consulting producers.

Grimm debuted on NBC in 2011 and ran for six seasons, proving to be a reliable performer on Friday nights for most of its run. The original series starred David Giuntoli as a homicide detective who discovers he’s descended from Grimms, a line of guardians who protect humanity from mythical creatures known as Wesen.

The series also starred Russell Hornsby, Bitsie Tulloch, Silas Weir Mitchell, Sasha Roiz, Bree Turner and Claire Coffee.

David Guintoli Hints Season 6 Not The Finale?

The fate of “Grimm” season 7 is yet to be determined as “Grimm” season 6 approaches its last phase. The followers of Nick Burkhardt’s adventures must prepare themselves for the series’ ending because it seems like NBC is letting it go.

While the decision of NBC to cease the renewal of “Grimm” season 7 is disheartening for the fans, all hope is not lost. Reports say that the producers are still on the negotiating phase with the network. Additionally, the performance of “Grimm” season 6 might decide the fate of “Grimm” season 7.

Performance-wise, “Grimm” series fares well with the fans. On its official and verified Facebook page, “Grimm” has more than 2 million followers. The popularity of “Grimm” is undeniable but will its popularity be enough to convince NBC to produce “Grimm” season 7?

As of writing, there is still no positive news pertaining to “Grimm” season 7. Variety reports that NBC has finalized its decision to end its contract by the end of “Grimm” season 6.

The actors of “Grimm” are also mum on the fate of “Grimm” season 7. Instead of talking about “Grimm” season 7, they are more focused on “Grimm” season 6, which is considered to be the tentative finale.

David Guintolli, who seamlessly takes Nick Burkhardt’s character to life, emphasized that “Grimm” season 6 will not be a gloomy, funeral-themed episode. He said that fans can expect “Grimm” season 6 to be a season full of gratitude and good vibes. With his statement, the fans can relax and take it easy knowing that the chances of a main character getting killed is almost out of the picture.

“Grimm” season 6 is scheduled to premiere on Jan. 6, 2017. Since NBC has already announced that it will not be house “Grimm” season 7, the fans are waiting for another network to welcome it.

Season 6 Air Date, Spoilers, News & Update: Is NBC Planning A Spinoff Series With Monroe And Rosalee After Final Season?

The end is near for the supernatural TV series “Grimm”. NBC has officially announced that “Grimm” Season 6 will be the show’s final season with only 13 episodes. However, hope springs anew for fans. Is there any possibility that the network will develop a spinoff series starring the show’s beloved Wesen couple Monroe and Rosalee after “Grimm” Season 6?

Fans were undoubtedly disappointed when “Grimm” Season 6 was announced to only have 13 episodes back in April. After all, the NBC series boasts of 22 episodes per season, right? Unfortunately, fears were confirmed last Monday: “Grimm” will be cancelled by next year. But that doesn’t mean fans can’t hope for a spinoff series starring Monroe and Rosalee and their bouncing baby Wesen.

The adorably quirky couple have won fans over since they met back in the second season. In “Grimm” Season 6, Monroe and Rosalee will be expecting their first Wesen baby. The revelation, which was announced in the Season 5 finale, immediately had fans looking forward to how the couple will deal with the Blutbad/Fuchsbau hybrid.

Some believe that the interest in Monroe, Rosalee and their baby could push NBC to develop a “Grimm” spinoff series featuring the Wesen family. It would also be an excellent way to keep the show going with its most interesting characters.

Deadline confirms that there are several changes made on the show’s final season. The “Grimm” Season 6 air date will be on January 6, a major change from its usual fall premiere. The series will also broadcast one hour earlier than its original 9pm time slot.

Season 6: New Big Bad Revealed & They Have A Very Familiar Face

Bonaparte is out and Renard is in. The Grimm’s captain is ready to fill the vacant position of season 6’s big bad.

Diana (Hannah R. Loyd) doesn’t like it when you mess with her family, and the pint-sized emotional powder keg used her telekinetic powers to put the Black Claw leader in the ground. Now that there’s an opening up in management, it looks as if Renard (Sasha Roiz) might take control of the Portland branch.

“Renard is going to be the big bad in Season 6,” David Giuntoli (Nick) told TV Insider. “We’ll focus more on him and his rise to power and what that means. I don’t know this for absolute sure, but that’s the word on the street.”

Last we saw Renard, he was standing dumbfounded over Bonaparte’s (Shaun Toub) body, clearly within striking range of everyone’s favorite monster hunter. Is Nick next on his hit list? The cliffhanger left fans wondering, but Giuntoli has assured TV Line that the Nick vs. Renard issue will take center stage in the premiere.

“There’s only so many ways this can go with the captain and Nick. Either we get into a huge melee, or the captain tries to somehow recruit me to his side,” Giuntoli teased. “I don’t see how else it could go. I’m not going to say, ‘Let’s deal with this later.'”

While Renard is the one left holding the sword, Nick is the one with some maniacal rage on his side. The budding politician nearly separated the Grimm from baby Kelly, and if Detective Burkhardt has one mission in life, it’s to keep that little boy safe.

“He’s face to face with Renard, so this could go two ways,” Giuntoli told TV Insider. “Will there be a negotiation? Will Nick think this through? Or is he so furious at Renard for taking his child away that he’ll just go crazy?”
