‘Grimm’ season 6 to be series’ last; premiere date revealed
Today seems to be a pretty grim one (pun intended) when it comes to shows announcing their end. Mere hours after “Pretty Little Liars” confirmed that season 7 will be their last on the air, “Grimm” has done the same thing.
Today, NBC confirmed that the upcoming sixth season of the series will be its last, which really isn’t too huge of a surprise when you consider recent ratings. The show has remained on the air in part because of its success with DVR recordings, but all things, good as they may be, do have to come to an end in due time. That time appears to be now. We’re ultimately grateful that we got this far, and also that NBC is at least announcing this in time for us all to prepare for it.
Also, we now have an official premiere date: Friday, January 6. It’s a little bit later than expected, but at the same time we’re fine with it since this gives us a chance to see the episodes all air in a row rather than the typically juggling act that occurs thanks to the likes of Black Friday / the Christmas holiday / anything and everything that pops up in there. This is a little bit of a better way to ease some of the chaos.

Please do not cancel Grimm. Season 5 was the best season so far and we fans have been looking forward to the stories’ continuance for what seems like an eternity. Thank goodness for Hulu and On Demand. We’ve been able to watch reruns of the shows…I watch at least 1 every day. This is because Grimm is by far the favorite show of lots of viewers and what we want most are more Grimm shows.
Learning that you are planning to cancel the show after the very shortened 6th season is a crushing blow for so many of us. We love this show. Every character, every cast member, every story is a gem. There are few shows on air that are batting a thousand with each new episode. The writing is suspenseful, creative, brilliantly stimulating and always compelling; the mesmerizing makeup and costuming keeps us returning to the screen over and over again, never really sure what we’ve just seen; character development is uncanny as if the writers were able to visit the show 5 years in the future back when the show debuted then return to the present to write the show,
Grimm is unlike any other show on tv. It’s unlike anything we read. It stays with us. The characters stay with us long after they’ve made their appearance on the show. We email about the shows; discuss them on Facebook; text about them and talk incessantly about the characters, the story lines and the intrigue. There are some good shows on television and with the many channels that are producing their own shows these days, we have a variety of quality shows available for us to watch.
But the really good ones…the ones that don’t let us do anything else while they’re on except watch the show…those shows are the gems. We can never just watch them once. There are always ideas or characters or sequences of events we want to discuss with someone. Grimm is one of those shows. Please don’t kill it.
