In a stunning announcement that has reignited passion among fantasy and supernatural fans, Netflix has officially revealed that Grimm will return—this time as a full-length feature film. Titled Grimm: Blood Oath, the movie is set to premiere exclusively on Netflix on August 28, marking a bold new chapter in the beloved dark fairy tale universe that captivated viewers for six seasons.
The original Grimm series, which aired from 2011 to 2017, followed detective Nick Burkhardt as he discovered he was a Grimm—a guardian sworn to keep the balance between humanity and mythological creatures known as Wesen. The show’s compelling blend of crime drama, mythology, and modern folklore earned it a loyal fanbase. Now, Blood Oath seeks to expand that world with a deeper, more cinematic narrative.
Set several years after the events of the series finale, Grimm: Blood Oath picks up with Nick, played once again by David Giuntoli, forced out of hiding by a global threat linked to ancient bloodlines and forbidden pacts. As a new generation of Wesen rises—more violent and ungoverned than ever—Nick must return to Portland to uncover a secret that could shatter the very foundation of Grimm lore.
The film reunites much of the original cast, including Bitsie Tulloch as Juliette/Eve, Silas Weir Mitchell as Monroe, and Russell Hornsby as Hank Griffin. Their return is expected to deliver both nostalgia and powerful character arcs, especially as their alliances are tested and old scars reopened in the face of a supernatural reckoning.
New characters are also set to be introduced, including a young Grimm prodigy with a dark past and a Wesen resistance leader who may or may not be trustworthy. These additions promise to refresh the story while building out the universe for longtime fans and new viewers alike.
Executive producers David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf have returned to guide the project, ensuring the tone remains consistent with the series while embracing the darker, more mature atmosphere that a film allows. According to Greenwalt, Blood Oath is “not just a continuation—it’s a reawakening. The fairy tale is darker, the stakes are higher, and the monsters are more human than ever.”
The production design stays true to the moody, forested Pacific Northwest aesthetic, but the visuals have been elevated with Netflix’s cinematic treatment. Expect haunting visuals, fog-laced forests, ancient catacombs, and lavishly designed sets that immerse viewers in a world where every shadow may hold a predator—or a protector.
In the newly released teaser, viewers catch glimpses of Nick confronting a shadowy council of ancient Grimms, a transformed Eve battling an unseen foe in a crumbling cathedral, and Monroe speaking cryptically about a prophecy once hidden by Grimm elders. “This isn’t just about the Wesen,” he says in the trailer. “It’s about us—the Grimms—and the blood oath we broke.”
Early feedback from behind-the-scenes previews suggests Grimm: Blood Oath will offer both intense action and emotional depth. Themes of legacy, guilt, and survival run through the story, as Nick and his allies face not just literal monsters, but the moral costs of their past choices.
The movie is also designed to be accessible to newcomers. While longtime fans will enjoy the callbacks and character growth, fresh audiences will be drawn in by the self-contained storyline and gripping supernatural conflict. Netflix has confirmed that while this is a standalone film, it may serve as the foundation for a larger franchise revival if reception is strong.
As anticipation builds, the return of Grimm feels timely. In an era where mythology-based storytelling continues to thrive, Grimm: Blood Oath has the potential to reignite the dark magic that made the original series so unforgettable.
Prepare for secrets, battles, and revelations when Grimm: Blood Oath premieres globally on Netflix this August 28. The hunt begins again—and this time, the oath must be paid in full.
