Airing on Friday nights, Grimm has never done very well in the ratings. However, it has managed to escape being cancelled each year. At the end of season five, the series will have more than enough episodes for a good-sized syndication package. Will this be the year that it’s cancelled or will Grimm be renewed for a sixth season? Stay tuned.
On Grimm, Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) continues to fight to keep humanity safe from the supernatural creatures of the world. The rest of the cast includes Russell Hornsby, Silas Weir Mitchell, Reggie Lee, Sasha Roiz, Bree Turner, and Claire Coffee.

What do you think? Do you still like Grimm TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for sixth season?
Please renew Grimm, it’s awesome!
Its getting great in Grimm. Idk what people are saying. Their are million more people watching it. I watch it on my phone. Some people have to rent the season disc or go to YouTube for the episodes. I Dont have cable and many others Dont that’s probably why the views are down .. Grimm should stay on for another season. I wouldn’t know what to watch or get into if it cancels. Plus many viewers would be pissed if we got left hanging when its getting even more exciting.
YouTube and phones don’t pay the bills. The networks aren’t charitable institutions. They have to make money with the advertisements and if no one watches when it airs to also watch the advertisements then it does the networks no good. So even if a billion people watch it on YouTube it doesn’t help the networks. And if the networks can’t make any money they have no reason to make the show.
I have been paying a lot of attention to the nightly reviews, and I cannot believe that almost all the shows have very few watchers! I guess those who use hula, youtube and their dvrs are hurting the numbers! As for me, I tune in at the correct time!
Absolutely love this TV show. Please never cancel and hurry and make the 6th season…. Only TV show I love.. My family, friends, and myself would literally stop watching TV …
please renew Grimm, love it
Keep the show , its not like the rest of crapout there . Kill bitsy or eve or whatever her name is and keep that confused deer in headlights dead. Love the rest
Are you always this nasty about people? Geez….
Guess when it’s one of the main reasons people dislike the show …then yes she is a bad actor and needs to go . PLEASE dont tell me you have never seen the confused look on her face
why kill eve.!! she is one of the few supernatural thing that works on this soap opera show, well her and trubel,!!! EVE is one good change to the show, adalin is the new mother in law to the show,?? eve and trubel means action., while nick is looking for finger prints.!!! my point is the writers suck, in every season, they start plots and never finish any of them,!!! you want some one out.?? how about nick his roll in the show is, stagnant and dull,!! trubel is the real GRIMM.!!! and eve the real champion,. put them in… Read more »
Love this show, I’ve watched it since it started in 2011. It’s part of Friday night line up. Huge mistake, think about your viewers, there loyalty to your network. That’s worth a lot more than any price tag. Let Grimm run it coarse, if your going to end it do it Classy and lead into it for Closure for us viewers that Love Grimm
We agree it’s our favorite program and has been since the beginnings
Me and my husband are hoping Grimm comes back for another season and another season after that and so on!! We are hooked! I have been checkin periodically to see if the renewal has been decided and we are still left hangin…but were hoping that NBC makes the right choice and decides to renew the show for another season . If they don’t we feel it will be a big mistake and it will definitely be a huge let down. There are so many ridiculous shows on TV now that are all the same! Grimm is one of the very… Read more »
It is one of the few shows fit to watch anymore.
This show sucks since long time ago. this season 5 is the best, but needs a worthy ending. If they write more seasons will end in a disaster as Angel . A proper ending for Grimm , the writers Zero ideas and Bitsie Tulloch with her presence doom the show.
sorry Dris 1.!!, i dont agree, its the writers that suck, they blew it when they took his grimm powers away, at the end of 3rd season,??!! and turned the show into a soap opera, and to top it off they killed his mother at the end of season 4.!! witch did not push the show forward in any ways, well the ratings tell the story.!!! but your right., its time for a proper ending. this writers are all out of ideas, so please no season 6. plz.
I am agree, i don´t care how much dislakes i get lol they can put me a thousand that my mind is clear: Grimm needs the cancellation. And a proper ending, the writers does not have ideas.
We have never missed an episode of Grimm.It is a favorite at our house. Sure hope it is renewed! No reason the ratings are not the best — so many people do not know when it is on. It is ridiculous the way NBC breaks up the series. I have my DVR set to record all new episodes, so I will never miss one.
I wonder which one will get cancelled first, Grimm or Hawaii Five-O
Grimm.
Hawaii Five-0 just got renewed for next year.
We plan our family date night around Grimm at 9pm on Friday night and will be devastated if it is not renewed for season 6!!!
to save grimm, you need better writers., with fresh ideas!!! it sucks when you have to watch, 2 bad episodes, before you get one good one., grimm has got so much potential. HEY WRITERS ITS CALLED GRIMM.!!! a supernatural show, another word is, when is nick going to start killing the bad wesen.??? your slow burn is killing the show,.please no more love stories,!!
well GRIMM, fans 10 more episodes to finish up, the season, and the show.!! it was a great 5 seasons.!!??
Sorry. Completely disagree with all the negative comments on renewing this wonderful fantasy show. Have watched since the beginning and it’s better than most shows on the air now. The character development and interaction between the cast is exceptional. Sometimes it takes a couple of episodes to develop a story line. Patience is not one of the virtues of some of the current viewers watching. There have been some missteps on the writers part, but seem to be correcting these problems. As someone said, nick needs to continue to go after the bad wesen, but understand there r many more… Read more »
before season 5 ends, 0.80, 18 to 49. ratings.!!
We are in late 50’s and this is our of favorite. I have Season 1,2, & 3 on blue ray. It is,a very different show and this is why we like it.
Please renew it, and writters find a source of renewal of who the Grimm is.
I am 29 years old so right in the perfect spot for advertisers. Mt friends and I watch every Friday before we head out to the bars. The time slot is perfect for the east coast. Watch Grimm @ 9 for a little pregame (we made our own drinking game for the show 🙂 That being said this show is the only 1 all 10 of us have ever agreed on. It’s awesome. Watched every ep since now. We originally watched it toward the end of season 1 and have been hooked. Fridays are very weak on quality shows and… Read more »
Please explain how your drinking game works?
good call.!! LOL.
Please listen to all the loyal Grimm viewers!! I am now 51 yrs. old & have watched every episode from day one. I love this show so much that I record off of TNT & have watched 3 full cycles of TNT’s re-runs. Please think of the audience loyalty & not ratings; especially in a difficult Friday night time slot. Leave us with a quality show. It’s so hard to find one on network TV nowadays!!
