The second season of GRIMM continues on Friday, November 16 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.

In "Season of the Hexenbiest," Hank (Russell Hornsby) starts reflecting on an arrest he made earlier in his career regarding a man (guest star Jason Gedrick) who committed murder claiming "self-defense against monsters."

With the man’s death sentence rapidly approaching and the knowledge he’s recently gathered from Nick (David Giuntoli), Hank begins to wonder if there was more truth to the man’s seemingly absurd story then he once thought.

Back at the spice shop, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) finds himself involved in a situation he never saw coming. Bitsie Tulloch, Sasha Roiz and Reggie Lee also star.

GRIMM is a drama series inspired by the classic Grimm Brother’s Fairy Tales. After Portland homicide detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli, Turn the Beat Around) discovers he’s descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as `Grimms,’ he increasingly finds his responsibilities as a detective at odds with his new responsibilities as a Grimm.

His attempts to shield his fiancée, Juliette Silverton (Bitsie Tulloch, The Artist), and his partner, Hank Griffin (Russell Hornsby, LINCOLN HEIGHTS), from the hazards of his new life have reached a crisis, leaving Juliette in a mysterious coma and Hank on the verge of a mental breakdown.

With help from his confidants, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) and Rosalee (Bree Turner) — both reformed Grimm creatures, Nick must help those closest to him while still facing off against all manner of ancient evils, including royal lines dating back to the original profilers themselves, the Grimm Brothers. As Nick develops his ability to harness his inner Grimm, he begins to question what he once knew, never more so than when he is reunited with his mother (guest star Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), also a Grimm, whom he thought dead for the past 18 years. Reggie Lee (The Dark Knight Rises) and Sasha Roiz (CAPRICA) also star as Sgt. Wu and Captain Renard, respectively.

GRIMM will move to Fridays on NBC (9-10 p.m. ET), beginning September 21.
