EXCLUSIVE: Netflix‘s urban fantasy drama The Grimm Reality will not see the light of day. We’ve learned that the series from Dark producer Wiedemann & Berg and The Gryphon co-producer Dog Haus Films has been quietly shelved.
The Grimm Reality first went into development at Netflix’s German base and then into production in late 2022. We understand filming had completed, but it will not move further forwards at Netflix.

Show creators were Till Kleinert (Der Samurai) and Dog Haus’ Erol Yesilkaya, who is a producer and scriptwriter. Actors including Hyuan Wanner, Patrick Isermeyer, Eidin Jalali and Dennis Schuermann were cast.
The fate of the show has been a topic of discussion among German producers in recent months, with one source saying it appeared to have “ended up in a dark cellar.” Netflix declined to comment, but the streamer has ditched the project. Content at Netflix’s DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) region is led by VP of Content Katja Hofem. Neither Wiedemann & Berg or Dog Haus had responded to requests for comment at press time.
