While it was a series I was looking forward to this past fall, it’s certainly been a surprise as it made a full season pickup and then got a renewal even after the way it was poorly scheduled on Friday nights with lots of interruptions that kept it from having a smooth run. But in the end, Grimm managed to stand tall and now word has come down from Universal about the home video release. Unlike a lot of other shows from the past season that are getting quick and dirty DVD releases and that’s it, Grimm is getting both DVD and Blu-ray and some solid extras for its August 7th bow in the home video market.
“Grimm” Season One is available as a five-disc set in special, limited edition packaging with exclusive “Grimm” collector cards. It features never-before-seen bonus material that takes fans deep into the world of “Grimm,” including an interactive creature guide, “Making Monsters” featurette and much more.

Plot Concept: Classic Grimm’s fairy tales come to life like never before in the “dark and imaginative” (Mike Ayers, CNN.com) supernatural series “Grimm,” from the producers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli, “Privileged,” “Grey’s Anatomy”) discovers he is descended from a long line of criminal profilers known as “Grimms,” protectors who are charged with keeping the balance between humanity and the creatures of myth. With newly awoken abilities to detect the evil lurking among us, Nick struggles to keep his old life separate and safe as he becomes ever more entrenched in the ancient rivalries of the Grimm world. Available onBlu-ray™ and DVD on August 7, 2012, “Grimm” Season One allows fans to experience all 22 chilling episodes back-to-back and uninterrupted.
