Peacock Plans 'Grimm' Reboot Movie with New Mythology

Peacock is developing a reboot movie of the NBC series 'Grimm', with Josh Berman writing and co-executive producing alongside original series creators David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf. The movie aims to revive the fantasy cop drama that aired from 2011 to 2017, which followed Portland detective Nick Burkhardt as he discovers his heritage as a Grimm, a guardian against mythological creatures called Wesen. While the plot details remain under wraps, the film will introduce new mythology and characters, making it accessible to new audiences while offering ties to the original series for fans. The original series was a high-rated show during its run, averaging over 6 million viewers per season. The reboot has the potential to launch a new franchise, though casting details have yet to be announced. This effort follows NBC's previous attempt at a spin-off centered around a female Grimm.
