Despite earlier reports that “Grimm” Season 6 would be kicking off at the end of October, NBC has just announced that it will instead debut in January (along with the premiere of “Emerald City”), and the sixth season will be the show’s last.  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, Grimmsters… it’s been a fun ride, but all good things must end.  Here’s the skinny.

From the Press Release:
“GRIMM”: The final season begins Friday, January 6, 2017 (8-9 pm).  The series, which reached the 100-episode milestone last season, has long been a fan and critical favorite.  Closing out an incredibly successful run and giving viewers a chance to say goodbye over the last 13 episodes, the sixth and final season of NBC’s drama “Grimm” will begin its last chapter with the battle fans have long been waiting for — Nick versus Capt. Renard.

As for events leading into the final season, the nefarious forces of Black Claw have been silenced, and Nick (David Giuntoli) faces an all too familiar foe in Capt. Sean Renard (Sasha Roiz). Now in the seat of power as the mayor elect of Portland, Renard is poised to bring rise to his own brand of law and order. Nick must take a stand to protect his city and those closest to him, especially his child with Adalind (Claire Coffee). It will take the full force of Nick and his allies to find a way to bring the peace.

Meanwhile, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) grapple with bringing a child into a new and tumultuous world, and Eve (Bitsie Tulloch) faces unsettling identity issues as her former self lurks below the surface.

“Grimm” also stars Russell Hornsby and Reggie Lee. The series was created by David Greenwalt & Jim Kouf and Stephen Carpenter. Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner (“Hollywood Game Night,” ”Hot in Cleveland”) serve as executive producers along with Greenwalt and Kouf. “Grimm” is a Universal Television and Hazy Mills production.

Meanwhile, “EMERALD CITY” debuts Friday, January 6, 2017 (9-11 pm two-hour premiere event; 9-10 pm each week thereafter).  Swept up into the eye of a tornado, 20-year-old Dorothy Gale (Adria Arjona) is transported to another world — a mystical land where an all-powerful ruler (Vincent D’Onofrio) governs over one kingdom, has outlawed magic, and faces not only the wrath of a growing cauldron of witches but a looming disaster brought on by a mythical force. Epic, romantic, and fantastical, “Emerald City” is an empowering tale of a young woman finding her true strength and identity even as she battles to bring a divided world together.

Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Ana Ularu, Mido Hamada, Jordan Loughran, Gerran Howell, and Joely Richardson also star. David Schulner, Shaun Cassidy, Josh Friedman, and Matthew Arnold serve as executive producers. The series is directed by Tarsem Singh Dhandwar, who also serves as an executive producer. “Emerald City” is a Universal Television production.
