From Universal Studios Home Entertainment, Grimm Season One

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., May 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

OVERVIEW:   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 on Blu-ray™ and DVD on August 7, 2012, "Grimm" Season One allows fans to experience all 22 chilling episodes back-to-back and uninterrupted.
