NBC renews 'Grimm' for Season 6

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., April 6 (UPI) -- NBC has renewed its Friday-night drama series Grimm for a sixth season.

The announcement was made Tuesday by Jennifer Salke, president of NBC Entertainment.

"We absolutely love what our producers and cast have accomplished over the past five seasons," Salke said in a statement. "They have created a whole new world of creatures and have a truly devoted fan base. We can't wait to see what comes next."

The fantasy series stars David Giuntoli, Claire Coffee, Russell Hornsby, Bitsie Tulloch, Silas Weir Mitchell, Reggie Lee, Sasha Roiz and Bree Turner.

"As the nefarious forces of Black Claw take hold of Portland, Nick must take a stand to protect his city and those closest to him, especially his child with Adalind. It will take the full force of Nick and his allies to find a way to bring the Wesen uprising to a halt," an NBC press release teased. "Now that Capt. Sean Renard is poised to make his move to power, his allegiance to Nick will be tested and he will consider drastic measures to ensure his place of authority."
