After years of silence and countless fan petitions, Grimm is officially making its long-awaited return. Peacock has dropped the thrilling first trailer for the upcoming season, reigniting the darkly enchanted world where fairy tale horrors lurk behind everyday faces. The trailer wastes no time diving back into the eerie, supernatural tone that made the original series such a cult phenomenon, promising a season steeped in danger, deception, and dark lore.
This new chapter picks up several years after the events of the series finale, with Nick Burkhardt once again caught between the worlds of humans and Wesen. While details of the plot remain closely guarded, the trailer hints at a rising ancient threat — one that forces old allies to reunite and new enemies to emerge from the shadows. Familiar faces return, including Rosalee, Monroe, Hank, and even a surprising glimpse of Trubel, each character looking more battle-hardened and haunted than ever.
The tone of the trailer is unmistakably darker, yet grounded in the emotional threads that always defined the series. Themes of family, legacy, and survival permeate the footage, showing Nick as a father now — more protective and ruthless — and facing an enemy that ties directly to his Grimm bloodline. There’s a sense of foreboding that this season will push characters further than ever before.
From ancient texts and mystical artifacts to violent transformations and eerie forest encounters, the visual storytelling feels elevated. Peacock’s updated production value has clearly given Grimm a modern, cinematic polish without losing the gritty essence of its original run. Fans of creature-of-the-week thrills and overarching mythos will feel right at home, yet the stakes have never been higher.
The showrunners have promised that this season will dive deeper into Wesen origins and Grimm history, introducing creatures rooted in global folklore, not just European legends. That means the darkness is spreading — and it’s not confined to Portland anymore. We’re glimpsing international intrigue and epic world-building that teases something much larger at play.
The trailer also drops breadcrumbs about a mysterious organization hunting both Wesen and Grimms alike — a new power that doesn’t discriminate, and one that may force enemies to become allies. It’s a clever expansion of the universe that sets up internal conflict and brutal consequences for those who dare cross blurred lines.
Longtime fans will also appreciate the return of the show’s signature mix of horror and heart. While the trailer is loaded with action and menace, there’s still the dry humor and character-driven drama that made Grimm so relatable despite its fantastical themes. Nick and Monroe’s banter, Rosalee’s sharp intellect, and Wu’s blunt honesty seem to remain intact, grounding the chaos in emotional truth.
This isn’t just a revival — it’s a reinvention. Peacock is positioning Grimm as a flagship for supernatural storytelling, and from the looks of the trailer, it’s a bold bet that’s likely to pay off. The stakes are higher, the monsters are more terrifying, and the world is far more dangerous than when we left it.
Grimm returns with new episodes later this year exclusively on Peacock. Whether you’re a seasoned fan or just discovering this twisted fairy tale for the first time, prepare yourself — the hunt begins again.
