History Trivia / Grimm

* IKnewIt: A lot of people had speculated that [[spoiler:Nick and Trubel were related, because of the strong resemblance between the actors]]. Come the series finale, one of the last lines of dialogue on the whole show casually mentions that [[spoiler:Trubel is Nick's third cousin on his mother's side.]]

* DevelopmentHell: A spin-off was announced in 2018. It reportedly would feature a female Grimm as the lead but nothing has came out since.

* ThrowItIn: The reason why the Aswangs were included. [[http://www.cleveland.com/tv-blog/index.ssf/2014/03/reggie_lee_gets_monstrous_good_story_on_nbcs_grimm.html Reggie Lee was approached by the production crew]] and asked him if he was familiar with any Philippine myths for "Mommy Dearest". It makes sense since Reggie is of Filipino origin.

* TheDanza: Jacob is played by Jacob Derwig

* TheWikiRule: [[http://grimm.wikia.com/wiki/Grimm_Wiki Check it out here.]]

* DuelingShows:

* FakeNationality: Nick is German American, but Creator/DavidGiuntoli looks as Italian American as the day is long. Likewise his TV mom played by Creator/MaryElizabethMastrantonio and apprentice Grimm Theresa "Trubel" Rubel played by Jacqueline Toboni.

* FanNickname: Captain Renard aka "Captain No Pants." To be fair, Sasha himself started it in response to David's (Nick) shirtless scenes during a friendly challenge on who could get the most twitter followers.

* HideYourPregnancy: Bree Turner who plays Rosalee was pregnant during season 2 and had to conceal her belly.

** During the fourth season of "Grimm", actress Claire Coffee (Adalind Schade) became pregnant with her first child. This was particularly amusing because her character, Adalind, had just finished a pregnancy arc. The writers decided to write the pregnancy in, leading the characters to exclaim an exasperated "Again?!" when Adalind reveals her pregnancy.

** Bitsie Tulloch speaks fluent Spanish just like Juliet. She lived abroad as a child and she has maternal relatives from Spain.

* CastingGag: Creator/SamWitwer plays a brooding, violent.....[[Series/BeingHumanUS werewolf]]?
* DawsonCasting: Chloe Bennett in "Bad Luck" is supposed to be in her mid-teens, while her actress Jenessa Grant is actually 26. It helps that she's quite petite and dainty-looking.

This was particularly amusing because her character, Adelind, had just finished a pregnancy arc.
