"The first season, which is adapted from the first novel, "The Fairy-tale Detectives," opens with orphans-because you can't have children's fantasy without them-angsty 11-year-old Sabrina (Ariel Winter) and her innocent 7-year-old sister Daphne (Leah Newman) on a train from NYC to Ferryport Landing to live with their estranged grandmother Relda (Laraine Newman). A year prior, their parents"
"Sabrina, instantly apprehensive upon meeting her, is still traumatized by her previous homes and insists on leaving immediately. But they learn the hard way that their new home is among fairytale creatures, dubbed "Everafters." Soon after, Relda attempts to provide the kids with information about the town and their parents. However, right as Relda conducts an investigation, she's kidnapped by a giant."
The Sisters Grimm follows orphaned sisters Sabrina and Daphne Grimm, descendants of the Brothers Grimm, who move to Ferryport Landing to live with their estranged grandmother Relda. Their parents vanished a year earlier, leaving a red handprint in their car, and the girls have survived multiple foster homes. Ferryport Landing is populated by Everafters, magical fairy-tale inhabitants, and Relda is kidnapped by a giant while investigating the disappearance. Sabrina and Daphne set out to rescue their grandmother and uncover the mystery surrounding their family. The six-episode season delivers a compact serialized fantasy aimed at younger viewers but limits narrative breadth.
