'Grimm' season 5 plot news: Tension between Hank and Nick; new character introduced
With a couple more months until the return of "Grimm," details about the upcoming season have been released.
According to Movie News Guide, star of the NBC series Russell Hornsby shared details on what to expect for his character this upcoming season. During the San Diego Comic-Con, Hornsby stated that there will be tension between his character, Hank Griffin, and partner Nick Burkhardt.
It was explained that Nick will struggle with the loss of his loved ones, which will cause him to drift away from Hank and pursue his own "grimm" activities. With that, Nick will begin to take more risks.
The previous season saw the death of Nick's mother and girlfriend. Thus, season 5 will present him in a darker light.
Hornsby expressed that he is happy with the progression of their relationship as the season will require a more emotional connection between the two characters. He also said to TV Equals, "When you look at what he's lost up to this point, I think there's a lot more at stake then there was even in the first season. When you lose your aunt who didn't know, it doesn't really set off the same amount of emotions as it does as losing your girlfriend and your mother, whom you've fought side by side with."
