By Stig Editor Netflix Releases Season 7 of Grimm as the Story Takes Another Twist
June 19, 2025 — Fans of supernatural crime drama have reason to celebrate as Netflix officially releases Season 7 of Grimm, reviving the cult-favorite series with a new chapter that promises to be darker, deeper, and full of unexpected twists.
After six intense seasons that originally aired on NBC from 2011 to 2017, Grimm seemed to have wrapped up its story — but the mythological universe it created was far from finished. Now, eight years later, Season 7 has returned exclusively on Netflix, reigniting the saga of Nick Burkhardt, the Portland detective with a bloodline that connects him to an ancient legacy of monster hunters.
A New Beginning with Familiar Faces
Season 7 picks up several years after the events of the Season 6 finale, where Nick faced the ultimate sacrifice to save his friends and family. While that chapter seemed to close the book, the new season opens with a time jump and a mysterious twist: a new prophecy has been unearthed, and it suggests that evil never truly dies — it evolves.
David Giuntoli reprises his role as Nick Burkhardt, now grappling with a haunting secret that challenges his very identity as a Grimm. Fans can also expect the return of beloved characters like Rosalee (Bree Turner), Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell), and Trubel (Jacqueline Toboni), all of whom are pulled back into a conflict that threatens not only the Wesen world but humanity as a whole.
New Twists, Ancient Powers
Netflix’s version of Grimm expands on the original mythology with cinematic visuals and a more mature tone. Early episodes hint at the emergence of a hidden sect of Grimms with powers unlike anything seen before, as well as the rise of an ancient Wesen council seeking to dominate both their world and ours.
Executive producers teased that this season would “push the limits of Grimm lore,” with international settings, darker moral dilemmas, and a storyline that explores what happens when the lines between hunter and hunted are blurred.
Fan Response and Critical Buzz
Since its premiere, Grimm Season 7 has sparked excitement across social media, with fans praising the show’s updated visual effects, gripping plotlines, and nostalgic return of key characters. Critics have highlighted the successful balance of fan service with fresh storytelling, calling the season “a bold and brilliant rebirth.”
Longtime viewers are especially intrigued by the introduction of Diana — Nick and Adalind’s daughter — as a central figure in the unfolding drama. Now a teenager with growing powers and inner conflict, Diana may be the key to saving the world — or destroying it.
What to Expect Moving Forward
Season 7 will consist of 10 episodes, each running approximately 50 minutes. Netflix has hinted that if viewership meets expectations, the series could potentially continue with either a Season 8 or a spinoff centered on new Grimms emerging around the world.
For now, one thing is clear: the world of Grimm is alive and thriving, and with ancient evils rising once more, the fight between light and darkness is far from over.
Season 7 of Grimm is now streaming exclusively on Netflix.
