Things Looking Grimm for NBC

By Uncle Creepy
January 29th, 2011

Episodic horror is turning the networks on lately with the success of shows like "The Walking Dead". Everyone is getting in on the horror act lately. It's about time the rest of the industry started playing catch up. Maybe soon they'll even give the genre some respect!

According to Entertainment Weekly NBC has picked up another pilot mixing fantasy with a crime drama: The network has greenlit "Grimm" from "Buffy" and "Angel" writers Jim Kouf and David Greenwalt.

The series is being described as a “dark but fantastical cop drama about a world in which characters inspired by Grimm’s Fairy Tales exist.”

Hmmm ... That's a really interesting and original idea. We've never seen anything like that before. Unless you count Adam Green's "Fairy Tale Police". More soon.
