Fans of supernatural drama and folklore-based storytelling, rejoice! Peacock has officially announced a feature-length movie reboot of the beloved fantasy series Grimm, set to premiere on 20 November 2025. The new project, which has been in quiet development for over a year, promises to reawaken the thrilling world of Wesen, hunters, and ancient legacies that captivated audiences during its six-season run from 2011 to 2017.
The announcement was made during Peacock’s summer slate reveal, generating a frenzy of excitement among longtime fans of the original NBC series. The reboot is not just a nostalgic return but a bold reimagining that aims to appeal to both new viewers and diehard Grimmsters. While staying rooted in the show’s rich mythological lore, the movie will explore modern themes of power, identity, and belonging.
Leading the charge is original showrunner David Greenwalt, who returns as executive producer alongside Jim Kouf. They are joined by Grimm veteran Silas Weir Mitchell (Monroe), who also serves as a creative consultant. While full casting details remain under wraps, sources confirm that a mix of familiar faces and fresh talent will breathe new life into Portland’s shadowy supernatural underworld.
The plot of the movie, tentatively titled Grimm: Rise of the Reapers, picks up several years after the events of the series finale. Portland has been relatively quiet—until a string of mysterious Wesen deaths signal the rise of a powerful new threat: a secretive cult known as the Reapers Reborn. Their mission? To destroy every Grimm and seize control of the hidden world.
At the heart of the story is Kelly Burkhardt, the son of Nick Burkhardt and Adalind Schade. Now a young adult, Kelly finds himself reluctantly drawn into his father’s dangerous legacy when he discovers the mystical key Nick died protecting still holds untapped power. As Kelly wrestles with his lineage, he must forge alliances with unlikely Wesen allies—and confront his own inner demons.
For fans who followed the original show, this reboot offers an exciting opportunity to reconnect with beloved characters like Rosalee, Monroe, Trubel, and Captain Renard. The movie promises to address unanswered questions from the series while setting the stage for possible sequels—or even a new series continuation if it garners strong viewership.
The film is being helmed by acclaimed director Anna Foerster, who previously directed several standout episodes of the original series. Her experience with action-packed, emotionally grounded storytelling makes her a natural fit for bringing Grimm’s world back to life on a cinematic scale. Expect thrilling creature effects, high-stakes drama, and the signature blend of folklore and grit that defined the series.
Peacock is betting big on this reboot as part of its broader strategy to revive cult-favorite IPs and attract loyal fanbases. According to a network spokesperson, the decision to create a full-length movie instead of a series was driven by the desire to deliver a complete, immersive experience that can both honor the original and chart a bold new direction.
Social media has already erupted with speculation and excitement. Hashtags like #GrimmMovie and #GrimmReturns are trending, with fans sharing theories, character wish-lists, and nostalgic clips. It’s clear the show left an indelible mark on viewers—and Peacock is banking on that legacy to spark a new era of Grimm storytelling.
Beyond the nostalgia, Grimm: Rise of the Reapers also represents a timely narrative. In an era where questions of heritage, power, and hidden histories dominate cultural conversations, the world of Grimms and Wesen offers a compelling allegory. The movie is expected to explore these themes with depth and nuance.
As the countdown to 20 November 2025 begins, fans can expect teasers, trailers, and behind-the-scenes peeks in the coming months. Merchandise tie-ins, companion books, and perhaps even a comic series are rumored to be in development. Peacock seems poised to turn Grimm into a full-fledged multimedia revival.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or a curious newcomer, Grimm: Rise of the Reapers looks set to deliver a dark, magical, and thrilling adventure. The legacy continues—and the hunt begins once more.
