Television Q&A: Will 'Grimm' be back on the supernatural beat?

You have questions. I have some answers.

Q: I keep seeing that a new season of “Grimm” and a movie are coming out. Is this legit?

A: Partly. The original TV series “Grimm” about a detective battling weird creatures originally aired for six seasons from 2011 to 2017 on NBC. There was talk about a spinoff the following year, but it did not happen. January of this year included reports that a new “Grimm” movie is in development for Peacock. Deadline said that “the exact premise of the 'Grimm' movie is kept under wraps. It is believed to have ties to the series for diehard fans but could also be easily accessed by new viewers not familiar with the original mythology as it introduces new mythology and characters. In success, the follow-up could launch a franchise.”

Q: As a fan of all episodes of “The White Lotus” I am wondering if a new season is being planned.

A: The anthology series about the staff and guests at various White Lotus hotels has had three much-discussed seasons so far and, yes, a fourth is being planned. In fact, HBO announced the fourth season before the third aired.

Q: With the passing of Bobby Sherman (very sad) we were wondering where we could get “Here Come the Brides” episodes.

A: Bobby Sherman, who died recently, was famous as a singer in the ‘60s and ‘70s (with hits such as “Julie, Do Ya Love Me” and “Little Woman”) and as an actor, including the series “Here Come the Brides” (1968-70). Reminiscent of the musical “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers,” the show involved logging-camp operators who brought women to the town for their workers to court. The cast also included Robert Brown, David Soul and Joan Blondell. There have been DVD releases of the two seasons, and episodes are on Dailymotion.com.

 

Q: Are there any updates on “I, Jack Wright”? We watched it on BritBox, via Amazon Prime. It left us hanging at the end and all I’ve been able to find is that a second season has not been confirmed. How can they end Season 1 with a cliffhanger with no resolution planned?

A: First of all, I checked with BritBox and was told they don’t know when a second season of the drama about murder and a family in conflict would be available. The British TV-focused site Telly Visions acknowledged in May that the season finale had “a lot of loose ends left lying around,” but did not know if there would be more.

As for shows ending on cliffhangers, it happens. Producers do not always know that an episode will be their last, and amp up the excitement at season’s end with the expectation they’ll be renewed. Then they, and audiences, are left disappointed. One show back in the '90s ended its first season with the main character near death; when the show was canceled, the producer bitterly said that meant the character died.

Q: I often binge favorite shows and just finished watching “Gilmore Girls” and the “Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life” sequel. Are we ever going to learn who is the father of Rory’s baby? It has been almost 10 years!

A: “A Year in the Life” premiered in 2016, well after the end of the original “Gilmore Girls” (2000-07); the sequel ended with Rory (Alexis Bledel) announcing she was pregnant. While series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has apparently not named the baby daddy, series costume supervisor Valerie Campbell did in 2023. It was Logan Huntzberger (Matt Czuchry), she said, according to published reports. And, she said, “It was supposed to be very, very, very, very, very obvious.”
