After a few bumps in the road, NBC's "Grimm" appears to be back on track, and this latest bit of guest casting news has us looking forward to future eps. Azura Skye ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") will be appearing later this season in "The Thing with Feathers".

TV Guide tells us Skye's character is a kind, mild-mannered bed and breakfast owner named Robin Steinkeller, who also happens to be a Seltenvogel (an extremely rare bird-like creature). Robin has something very valuable to many in the Wesen world, and Nick (David Giuntoli) finds her in a panic to escape her abusive husband. So far, her only protection is the strength of her turtleneck and scarf, whatever that might mean.

Former "Buffy" executive producer and writer David Greenwalt is now an executive producer on "Grimm" so it's no surprise he's tapping some of his former show's talent pool for this latest project.

The airdate of Skye's appearance isn't set yet, but we'll keep an eye on things.

Inspired by Grimms' fairy tales, "Grimm" follows Portland homicide Detective Nick Burkhardt, played by David Giuntoli, as he battles supernatural forces. Bitsie Tulloch portrays his fiancée, Juliette Silverton, with Russell Hornsby as his partner, Hank Griffin, and Silas Weir Mitchell as his confidant, Monroe. Reggie Lee and Sasha Roiz co-star. It is produced by Universal Television with Hazy Mills Prods. and GK Prods. Sean Hayes, Todd Milliner, David Greenwalt, Jim Kouf, Naren Shankar, and Norberto Barba are executive producers.
