NBC says production will get underway on May 30, 2012 for the second season of Grimm. The fairy tale cop drama will shoot in Portland, with returning season one stars David Giuntoli, Russell Hornsby, Silas Weir Mitchell, and Bitsie Tulloch back for more adventures.

To celebrate the start of season two, cast members Tulloch, Hornsby, and Mitchell will join Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber to kick off the start of filming on May 29th.

Grimm will return with all new episodes in August. And for those of you who missed out on season one, NBC will air reruns beginning May 28th at 10pm.

The Plot:

Grimm is inspired by the classic Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Portland homicide Detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) discovers he is descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as “Grimms,” charged with keeping balance between humanity and the mythological creatures of the world. As he tries to hide the dangers of his new found calling from his girlfriend, Juliette Silverton (Bitsie Tulloch), and his partner, Hank Griffin (Russell Hornsby), he becomes ever more entrenched in the ancient rivalries and alliances of the Grimm world.

With help from his confidant, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), a reformed Grimm creature himself, Nick must navigate through the forces of a larger-than-life mythology, facing off with Hexenbiests, Blutbads and all manner of ancient evils, including royal lines dating back to the original profilers themselves, The Grimm Brothers. Reggie Lee and Sasha Roiz also star.
