Grimm Renewed For Second Season

David Greenwalt's fairy tale horror crime drama Grimm has officially been renewed for a second season. When the show first started back in October, most people didn't expect it to go past twelve episodes. Why? Negative critical reaction to the pilot forced NBC to place it at nine PM on Fridays. In and of itself that is a death slot, but it got worse: it had to go up against nothing less than JJ Abrams and the Brothers Winchester themselves. That's right, Fringe, FOX's cult sci fi serial was moved to Fridays for season 4, which fox hyped up as Friday Night Reanimated. And then there's Supernatural, which, going into season 7, already had 3 seasons on friday night under it's belt, with a very dedicated fanbase. The bottom line, things weren't looking too good for Grimm. But then it got more and more popular. And then it got to do a full 22 episode season. And then it got renewed for season 2. And there was much rejoicing. My predictions for season 2: A. NBC will move it out of Friday nights. Grimm has already proved it can get more than substantial rating while in a terrible time slot and up against stiff competition, so i think the network is willing to risk it doing well in a great time slot, like say, Mondays at 8. B. More serialization. Most shows of the same genre did the same thing as Grimm: do a solid first season of procedural monster of the week stories so it can gather a devoted fanbase, then, from season 2 on, do more serialized story telling, usually a sort of monster of the season format. Fringe, Supernatural, Buffy, Angel, Warehouse 13, and Lost all did it. I suspect Grimm will follow suit. Either way, that's all for now.
