NBC is not grim about Grimm. While it hasn’t yet decided whether to cancel the Grimm TV series after season five or renew it for a season six, NBC’s Entertainment Chair, Robert Greenblatt, sounds more positive than negative about the fate of this fantasy police procedural drama.
Greenblatt spoke to The Oregonian‘s Kristi Turnquist during the TCA winter press tour. As quoted below, it sounds like the Peacock Network is more fond than not of this Friday night fright-fest. Brimming with Wesen-ality, Grimm stars: David Giuntoli, Russel Hornsby, Silas Weir Mitchell, Bree Turner, Silas Weir, Mitchell, Sasha Roiz, Claire Coffee, and yes, Bitsie Tulloch.
From OregonLive.com (emphasis ours):
Will “Grimm” be renewed?: The ratings have been down so far in Season 5. When I asked NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt about the show’s future at the recent Television Critics Association Winter 2016 Press Tour, Greenblatt said, “We like ‘Grimm.’ It hasn’t been renewed yet, but it’s a show we love, and it’s actually a big international success for our company.” Greenblatt added, “I think ‘Grimm’ isn’t going anywhere. Which is a hedging sort of statement. We haven’t decided. But we like ‘Grimm.'”
Airing on Fridays, which is traditionally a low viewership night, especially for the advertiser-prized younger segment of viewers, “Grimm” picks up viewers via delayed viewing, Greenblatt said.
“I think the numbers have gone down a little bit because of that,” he said. “But there are some really great ideas for future shows. ‘Grimm”s OK.”
But as Greenblatt said, that’s not a confirmation of renewal, so we’ll have to wait and see.
The season 5B premiere of Grimm airs tomorrow, Friday, January 29, 2016, at 9:00pm ET/PT. Check out this article teasing Grimm‘s return, chock full of new season five photos.

What are you thinking about? Just because the executives aren’t crazy about that show doesn’t mean anything to me. I’ve loved the show from the beginning and have watched every program. It’s filled with suspense, drama, love and compassion. It actually deals with acceptance of each other no matter how different we are. Tolerance, patience and love are an issue on the show and maybe something that the executives don’t realize about the show or even in their own lives.
My wife and I are big time fans of Grimm. We own the whole series on disc and love having Grimm marathon sessions from the first episode to the last of season 5. Please keep things going. We love the cast and characters.
Why do you guys always do this to shows that are actually entertaining? don’t cancel, you do have lots of viewers.
Absolutely love Grimm!!!
Please no not cancel Grimm, I have enjoyed every episode right from the beginning. I know there’s so much that can come out of it, just like Supernatural. Please reconsider!!!!!!
I don’t believe the executives for Grimm know what they are doing if they cancel this series. I know a lot of people would be very disappointed if canceled. I will continue to post on here daily if it would help keep it on.
our favorite tv show ! please renew !! I love Nick , Hank, Monroe and Wu and the captain !!
Love grimm looking forward for season 6 please
My wife & I Both love the show, it would really be foolish to cancel the show at this point. Our friends & family love watching it as well. Please Leave it be & Don’t get rid of a good thing.Thank’s
I love this show and look forward to watching every Friday. I hope it’s on for years. I also wish that NBC would air reruns in the off season.
Really like the show ,don’t cancel
Love this show! Creative & great characters, mixing Wesen with real life story lines & Police. Please do not cancel GRIMM!
