Spoiler alert. Yahoo has some info on what is to come in the final seasons.

"This Season's Theme: "Is it better to be happy and ignorant or see and know the world as it truly is?” executive producer David Greenwalt says. "Would you rather crazy, bad things not happen in life, or are they ultimately good because they make you stronger and a better person?" His partner in the crime show EP Jim Kouf points out an important caveat, "That is if they don't destroy you first."

Where We Left Off: At the final showdown between Black Claw, HW, and the Grimm and his gang. Nick (David Giuntoli) sent everyone he loves (minus Adalind and her kids) into the tunnels while he took on the final wave. He was shot in the fight and near death, but Diana intervened in the nick of time.

Coming Up: The final season will be "our best yet," promises Greenwalt, who will direct the finale with Kouf. "We are going out with a big bang, not a whimper. Some really bad s**t happens, and something ultimately explains what the entire show has all been about for the last six years." The bad s**t includes but is not limited to: Renard going full bad guy and framing Nick, Diana being kidnapped, and if Giuntoli gets his wish, death. "I would have been cool to die, and maybe I will, as I’ve only read up to the penultimate episode."

Creature Features: All that said, there will still be humor and multiple monster-of-the-week episodes. "Four through 10 are all wesen-based," says Kouf. Creatures include a Frankenstein-like critter, an eco avenger in the woods, a Grimm take on A Midsummer Night's Dream, and "a monster who seems like the most evil one we've ever created, because it involves babies.""
