RT: I just watched the second-to-last episode “Zerstörer Shrugged,” and I’m like, “Whaaaa? Noooo!”
Giuntoli: Yeah, get ready for more of that.
RT: What can we expect for the series finale? And more importantly, will the fans be happy with it?
Giuntoli: I would say we owe everything to our fans. Not only do we owe everything to them — and I can speak for the other cast mates as well — we also owe the best times we’ve ever had on a show when we get to meet our fans. Otherwise, you’re shooting a show in a warehouse in Portland, near a river. You sometimes forget it’s for people, so it’s so nice when you get to meet them. I’ll say I think the writers did a wonderful job ending it. Grimm was this weird fairy tale that wasn’t a fairy tale, and we gave them a fairy-tale ending that’s not a fairy-tale ending. But it’s definitely an ending, there’s no ambiguity.
RT: Describe the emotions on the set that final day of taping.
Giuntoli: We film in Oregon, and it was a death to a TV show befitting of the Oregon hospice care laws. We knew we were getting a final season, so there was no ambiguity there. We had that entire last year to grieve and prepare ourselves for the loss and also the next steps. We had wrapped a couple of our cast members a little early [you’ll find out who on March 24]. On that final day… it was very sad and touching — tears and a lot of love there. It was beautiful, and we’ve seen each other since then already. We refuse to stop partying together.
RT: If there’s one thing you’d like to say to all the Grimmsters out there, what would it be?
Giuntoli: I would like to say thank you. You’ve made me very fulfilled person — and a spoiled rotten actor. If you want to keep paying me, you can send money orders to my P.O. box.
