‘Grimm’ Reboot Movie In Works At Peacock From Josh Berman & Original Series’ Creative Team – Deadline
By Nellie Andreeva Co-Editor-in-Chief, TV
EXCLUSIVE: A cult favorite supernatural drama is eying a comeback as a movie. Peacock is developing a reboot of the 2011 NBC series Grimm, sources tell Deadline. Drop Dead Diva creator Josh Berman is writing the new take, which he is executive producing with the original series’ creative team, co-creators/executive producers and showrunners David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf, Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner’s Hazy Mills Productions and Universal Television.
The exact premise of the Grimm movie is kept under wraps. It is believed to have ties to the series for diehard fans but could also be easily accessed by new viewers not familiar with the original mythology as it introduces new mythology and characters. In success, the followup could launch a franchise, I hear.

An under-the-radar show launched on the lower-trafficked Friday night, Grimm became a breakout during the 2011-2012 season. It went on to run for six seasons on NBC, remaining one of Friday’s highest-rated scripted series, and also did well internationally for NBCUniversal.
A year after Grimm bowed out, NBC took a shot at developing a spinoff centered on a female Grimm, from writer Melissa Glenn, Hazy Mills and Universal TV, with Greenwalt and Kouf as consulting producers.
Berman boarded Grimm after coming off a 15-year stint at Sony Pictures TV where he created the hit dramedy Drop Dead Diva, which aired on Lifetime for six seasons. He also co-created The Mob Doctor for Fox, Notorious for ABC, and Murder House Flip for Quibi/Roku. Additionally, his company produced the Max series Gordita Chronicles. He is repped by Verve and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller. Greenwalt is with IAG, Kouf is with WME, Hazy Mills is repped by UTA.Get our Breaking News Alerts and Keep your inbox happy.Signup for Breaking News Alerts & Newsletters
