“What if the Grimm fairy tales actually came to life and were living amongst us right now?” Producer Sean Hayes says that’s the set-up for the new NBC series Grimm debuting on Friday, October 28, 2011 at 9pm. The series will explore a different fairy tale every week, with episodes featuring Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Hansel and Gretel.
Grimm is a police drama with a bizarre twist, a fantasy series that takes place in our world but involves fairy tale creatures. Watch the behind-the-scenes video and see what you think.
The Synopsis: Remember the fairy tales your parents used to tell you before bedtime? Those weren’t stories — they were warnings. Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli, Turn The Beat Around) thought he prepared himself for the realities of working as a homicide detective until he started seeing things he couldn’t quite explain. When his ailing Aunt Marie (guest star Kate Burton, Grey’s Anatomy) arrives, Nick’s life turns upside down when she reveals they are descendants of an elite group of hunters, also known as “Grimms,” who fight to keep the balance of humanity safe from the supernatural creatures of the world.
As Nick digs deeper into her past, he realizes that he will have to shoulder the responsibility of his ancestors — and contend with a larger-than-life mythology of the Brothers Grimm that is now all too real.
