You'd think a show that ran for six seasons on a major network like NBC would be everywhere. It isn't. Honestly, trying to figure out how to watch Grimm in 2026 feels a bit like Nick Burkhardt trying to explain to his fiancé why he’s suddenly seeing people turn into monsters at the grocery store. It’s confusing, slightly frustrating, and requires a bit of detective work.
If you’re looking for the short answer: Amazon Prime Video and Peacock are your best friends right now. But depending on where you live or how much you hate commercials, it gets a little more nuanced than that.
The current streaming landscape for Grimm
Most people assume Netflix has everything. Not this time. As of early 2026, Grimm has largely moved away from the "Big Red N" in the United States.
Peacock is currently the primary "home" for the series. This makes sense because Grimm was an NBC show, and NBCUniversal owns Peacock. They’ve got all six seasons—from the pilot where Nick first sees a Hexenbiest to the wild series finale "The End." If you have a Premium subscription, you’re good to go.
Then there’s Amazon Prime Video. For a long time, Prime was the only place to find it. Currently, it’s still available there, but you might find it’s moved to their "Freevee" tier in some regions, which means you’ll have to sit through ads for laundry detergent while Nick is getting beaten up by a Jägerbar.

Why the location of the show keeps shifting
Streaming rights are basically a game of musical chairs played by billionaires. Shows move because contracts expire. One day Grimm is on Hulu, the next day it’s exclusive to a platform you’ve never heard of. In 2025, there was a huge surge in viewership for the show, which led to Peacock tightening its grip on the rights. Why? Because they’re reportedly working on a Grimm spinoff or movie—rumors have been swirling for months about Elizabeth Tulloch (Juliette/Eve) returning—and they want the original fans on their platform.
Watching Grimm without a monthly subscription
Maybe you’re tired of the "subscription creep." I get it. Between Netflix, Max, Disney+, and the others, your bank account is bleeding. If you want to know how to watch Grimm without adding another $15/month charge, you have a few "old school" options that actually work better in the long run.
- The CW App: Surprisingly, the CW has been known to host the show for free (with ads) on their digital platform. It’s hit or miss, but worth a check.
- Comet TV: If you have a digital antenna or a basic cable package, Comet TV frequently runs Grimm marathons. It’s a sci-fi/horror specialty channel, and they love the Wesen world.
- Digital Purchase: You can buy the entire series on Vudu (now Fandango at Home), Apple TV, or Google Play. It’s usually about $60–$80 for the whole series, but they often have sales where you can snag the bundle for $30.
- The Roku Channel: Occasionally, Roku pulls Grimm into its free-to-watch section.
Honestly, buying the digital box set is the "pro move." You never have to worry about which streamer has the rights this month.
What about fans outside the U.S.?
If you’re in the UK, Canada, or Australia, the map looks different.

In the UK, Sky Max and the NOW streaming service are usually the gatekeepers. Over in Australia, BINGE and Foxtel often carry it. Canada is a bit of a toss-up between Prime Video and certain Bell Media properties like Crave.
If you’re traveling and find yourself locked out of your home library, a VPN (like NordVPN or ExpressVPN) is the standard workaround. You just point your IP address to a U.S. server and log into Peacock like you’re sitting on your couch in Portland. Just make sure you aren't violating any Terms of Service; nobody wants their account flagged.
Common misconceptions about streaming Grimm
People often ask if the show is available in 4K. Sadly, Grimm was shot and finished in 1080p HD. While some platforms might "upscale" it, you aren't going to find a native 4K version. It still looks great, though—the damp, moody atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest doesn't need a billion pixels to feel creepy.
Another thing: the "Aunt Marie’s Trailer" webisodes. These were little digital shorts NBC released years ago. They aren't always included in the main streaming packages. If you're a completionist, you usually have to dig these up on YouTube or find them in the "Extras" section of a digital purchase.

Is it on Hulu?
Not anymore. It left Hulu quite a while ago. If you see a site claiming it's on Hulu in 2026, they haven't updated their info since the Obama administration.
Is it on Netflix?
Only in very specific international markets. In the U.S., it’s a firm "no."
Actionable steps to start your rewatch
If you’re ready to dive back into the trailer and start learning about the Royal Families, here is the most efficient way to do it right now:
- Check Peacock first. If you already pay for it, you’re done. Search "Grimm" and start at S1E1.
- Check Amazon Prime. If it’s marked as "Included with Prime," great. If it says "Freevee," prepare for ads.
- Wait for a holiday sale. If you want to own it, wait for Black Friday or a random "Sci-Fi Week" sale on the Apple TV store. The price usually drops significantly.
- Grab a physical copy. Seriously. You can find the complete Blu-ray set on eBay or Amazon for about $50. It includes deleted scenes and gag reels that you won't find on streaming platforms. Plus, it works even when your internet goes down.
Now that you know exactly where to find it, you can get back to the important things—like arguing over whether Nick should have ended up with Adalind or Juliette. (It’s Adalind. Obviously.)
