Where Is The Grimm Tv Show Filmed

It may have ended its six-season run back in 2017, but the Portland-filmed TV series “Grimm” still has a devoted fanbase, who yearn for a spinoff, a sequel or a seventh season. Those options may not be coming soon, but diehards can get a fresh dose of download about the show, thanks to “The Grimmcast.”

The new podcast is hosted by “Grimm” stars Claire Coffee (who played the Hexenbiest, Adalind Schade), Bree Turner (who played Rosalee Calvert, a Fuchsbau who later married Monroe, a Blutbad), and Bitsie Tulloch (who played Juliette Silverton, whose wild character arc went from being a Portland veterinarian to a witchy Hexenbiest).

Just in case you’re not up to date on your “Grimm” lore, the show followed the adventures of Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli), a Portland Police homicide detective, who discovered he had inherited the ability to identify Wesen – that’s what Fuchsbau, Blutbad, Hexenbiest, etc. are – the supernatural creatures who, to non-Grimms, look like ordinary humans.

The weekly podcast, which launched Nov. 8, features the actors reminiscing about “Grimm,” sharing behind-the-scenes stories, and memories of working in Portland, where the fantasy-procedural series took place. The trio also interview members of the “Grimm” cast, and invite listeners to submit questions.

Coffee, Turner and Tulloch recently talked by phone about the podcast, and why they wanted to do it. “This started during the pandemic,” says Coffee. “The whole cast are still such great friends, and during the pandemic, we recorded a few episodes.”

Then, Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner’s Hazy Mills Productions, the company that produced “Grimm,” established a podcast wing. About a year ago, the company teamed up with the actors to launch “The Grimmcast.”

“It was a real gift to have Hazy Mills come on,” says Turner. “It’s been an absolute blast.”

“The Grimmcast” began with an episode featuring Giuntoli talking with Coffee, Turner and Tulloch about the pilot for the series, which filmed in March of 2011. It wasn’t a total stretch to bring Giuntoli on board, since Tulloch originally played his character Nick’s fiancée, and Giuntoli and Tulloch got married in 2017.

Each episode of “The Grimmcast” will focus on an episode of the series, in order. The second installment, for example, is about “Bears Will Be Bears,” the series’ second episode. It features guest Kate Burton, who played Nick’s Aunt Marie, a formidable Grimm known for hunting evil Wesen.

A special “Grimmcast” bonus episode, “Arriving in Portland,” features Coffee, Turner and Tulloch remembering early days in Portland, raising children and buying houses in the Rose City. The trio discuss the bond that formed among cast members – the show’s actors also included Russell Hornsby, Silas Weir Mitchell, Sasha Roiz, and Reggie Lee – as they share stories about, in Coffee’s case, giving birth to her son at Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center; cast members initially living at The Wyatt, in the Pearl District; and, in Tulloch’s case, having a drink at The Nines with her castmates as they debated whether the show would get picked up to series after the pilot episode was filmed.

Tulloch is costarring in The CW series, “Superman & Lois,” which is filming in Vancouver, B.C. (Giuntoli is one of the stars of “A Million Little Things,” which also shoots in British Columbia). As Tulloch says in the bonus episode, “I’m back in the Pacific Northwest now for work, and I talk about Portland all the time.”

Coffee says that the mythical-seeming work-life balance really exists in Portland. “People who live there value their off-time,” she says in the bonus episode, adding that Portlanders make it a priority to pursue their non-work interests, which might be anything from beer to cured meats.

The pandemic didn’t just inspire the idea of the podcast, Coffee says over the phone. Month of staying at home to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus also contributed to people either going back to re-watch “Grimm,” or discovering it for the first time, Coffee says.

“We rediscovered the fervor of the fandom,” says Coffee. “It had been several years since we wrapped, but during that acute phase of the pandemic, all people wanted to do was escape, and lose themselves in the fantasy world. It brings home the specialness of a genre piece like ‘Grimm.’ It’s a global community, and it gave people a place to come back home to in many ways.”
