It's been almost ten years since Grimm closed its final chapter on NBC, but the dark fantasy's legacy is far from forgotten. At San Diego Comic-Con 2026, the show's core cast gathered for a candid conversation with Collider's Steven Weintraub, reflecting on the series' journey from a gritty cop procedural to a sprawling mythological epic—and, most tantalizingly, addressing the long-rumored revival that fans have been hoping for since the finale aired.
The reunion brought together David Giuntoli (Nick Burkhardt), Elizabeth Tulloch (Juliette Silverton/Eve), Reggie Lee (Sergeant Drew Wu), Sasha Roiz (Captain Sean Renard), Russell Hornsby (Hank Griffin), Bree Turner (Rosalee Calvert), and Silas Weir Mitchell (Monroe). Together, they revisited the grueling yet rewarding experience of producing six seasons with over 20 episodes each—a feat that feels almost impossible in today's streaming-driven landscape, where seasons are often trimmed to eight or ten installments.
Created by Jim Kouf, David Greenwalt, and Stephen Carpenter, Grimm premiered in 2011 and followed Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt, who discovers he is a descendant of an ancient line of hunters tasked with keeping humanity safe from supernatural creatures known as Wesen. What began as a monster-of-the-week procedural gradually evolved into a richly serialized fantasy saga, weaving Grimm fairy tales into modern-day crime stories. The cast credits that evolution for the show's enduring appeal.
During the panel, the actors shared personal anecdotes and playful revelations—including the songs they'd choose to accompany their grand entrances—but the conversation inevitably turned to the future. When asked about where their characters might be a decade later, the cast offered thoughtful speculation, and the topic of a revival sparked genuine enthusiasm. While no official plans were announced, the door was left wide open, echoing the kind of hopeful ambiguity that has kept fans buzzing since the series finale.
The chemistry that defined Grimm was clearly still intact as the cast reminisced about the long hours and the bonds they built on and off set. They also acknowledged the show's global resonance, noting how its themes of identity, duty, and found family transcended borders. For those who've been waiting for a sign, this Comic-Con reunion might be the closest thing to a green light—though the cast made it clear that any revival would need to honor the original's spirit.
As streaming continues to revive beloved series—from Longmire's promising update to Suits' potential return—the possibility of Grimm making a comeback feels more plausible than ever. The cast's willingness to revisit the world, combined with the show's dedicated fanbase, makes a revival a tantalizing prospect. For now, fans can stream all six seasons on Peacock and relive the magic while hoping that the Wesen hunters might ride again.
Watch the full interview above to hear the cast's unfiltered thoughts on a revival, their favorite memories, and what they think Nick and the gang are up to today. It's a must-watch for any Grimm devotee.
