The Idea for the Show
In 2006, Todd Milliner came up with the general idea for the show while taking a shower. He had the idea of "What can I do for a show that's in the public domain?" He wanted to do a modern retelling of the Brothers Grimm. Hazy Mills (the production company shared by Milliner and Sean Hayes) met with Greenwalt before NBC was on board and suggested that the show should be a crime drama with a supernatural twist. Greenwalt liked the idea and soon called Jim Kouf to get his help with the show.
