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.
Are you a fan of the Grimm TV show? Do you plan to tune in for the season 5B premiere on NBC? Do you think Grimm should be cancelled after the fifth season or renewed for a sixth season? Make your voice heard, below.
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

Grimm is the only show on broadcast TV I watch. It has an amazing storyline and should not be cancelled.
PLEASEEEE DO NOT CANCEL GRIMM!!!! This show is so good and it’s just getting even better. I wish it was aired on a different day besides Friday’s. I personally always have to watch reruns. I am beyond thrilled to see what happens next. Meaning you can’t stop filming.
