NBC’s ‘Grimm’ season 6: Should it be final season?
How much story is left in the tank for “Grimm”? In our eyes, the answer here is “quite a bit,” given that we’re only now starting to get some essence of Juliette back, and when you think about the show’s overall mythology and rich cast, there are so many more stories that could be told.
Heck, when you think about it, “Supernatural” could be a great template for how there are constant ways to reinvent the show, and keep at least a small core of people around. We know that people do die from time to time, but we’ve already seen with Juliette that death is far from the end in this world.
So should season 6 be the series’ last? Obviously our feeling story-wise is “no,” but you also have to look at the current reality of things. We’re coming off of the lowest-rated season for the show yet, where it averaged a mere 0.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That’s down more than 20% from season 4, and with only 13 episodes for season 6 as of yet, NBC is not banking on it in the way they used to. If this does prove to be the end, our hope is that the network tells them in time to wrap up the ending rather than having to go in “Castle”-style and tack on an ending that really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.
Are there still reasons to be hopeful? Sure. The show generates great DVR numbers, it’s popular worldwide, and it’s on a night in Fridays where there is less competition.

At a time when the country is falling apart and for those of us who are appalled and disgusted by the (not my) president and his cronies, we’re sick and depressed every day, Grimm has been the best reminder that life goes on and can be changed if we just use our imagination. It is the one thing I can count on to take me away from the chaos and minute by minute panic I feel.

a block of episodes could be focused on a group that would, thanks to some rediscovered medieval, transform the ‘normal’ people into wesen. I don’t like the derived like supernatural. Ok, the stick has more power but, yet the last Biests (Bonaparte, Adalind, Diana and Eve) had too much power for a “real life ” serial.

It is my opinion, that if NBC doesn’t give another season. Netflix will.. The writers should be talking to Netflix or other station.

1) no follow up on the royal family…shouldn’t they be looking for Diana?
2)no history on where Diana has been and what she has been exposed to…
3) Diana listens to Adalind and loves her. Will Adalind be controlling Diana that could lead to all kinds of adventures of backstabbing and controlling people?
4) Trubel’s ancestors history was interrupted and not told. Where could that go in relation to Nick?
5) Where is the cousin in California? Has he developed Grimm powers yet?
6) What Grimm’s are left in the ancestors book and where are they? Are they going to help with blackclaw?
7)Renard is a season in himself. Which way will it go facing Nick…. All kinds of possibilities there.
8)Nick’s mother? Will the stick be able to bring her and Michener back?
9) The stick… so much is unknown about it. Except that it heals. Which could be only the beginning!
10) Rosalee’s baby? No telling what wesen combination could be made!
11) Nick’s baby boy? What powers will he have?
Could he, Diana, and Rosalee’s baby be the next 3 musketeers of Wesen Rule!!!! Duh !!!!
These are just ideas off the top of my head in 5 minutes. I’m sure the writers are much more creative than me and that’s why I love this show!
Keep it on tv.PLEASE!!!!

we need more of grimm. i think it could last at least 8 seasons. i wish they had not made season 6 less episodes but if they keep that up and give more seasons we could maybe get in 9 seasons without being bored

there are so many stories yet told be told, new villains, returning characters, I’d like to see how things end up for Wu. I would also like to see renard’s mom meet Diana

Would be gutted if this was the end for #Grimm. This is actually the only television show I watch, since #Justified ended.
