Synopsis

The series opens in the Hessian town of Hanau, where young Jacob and Wilhelm grapple with the premature loss of their father, an event that thrusts them into poverty and ignites their unbreakable bond. Determined to preserve their family’s legacy, the brothers embark on an academic pursuit that intertwines their fates with Germany’s cultural identity. As the Napoleonic Wars rage, the Grimms find themselves torn between their duty as civil servants and their growing passion for folklore. They risk everything to collect, preserve, and publish the tales of the common people, stories steeped in the dark undercurrents of their own lives. Each episode juxtaposes their real-world struggles—political persecution, censorship, betrayal—with the fantastical narratives they collect, bringing to life the origins of classics like Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, and Rumpelstiltskin. As they navigate love, loss, and sibling rivalry, their enduring partnership becomes the heart of the series, revealing the sacrifices behind their iconic legacy.
