"Grim has meant so much to me and to everyone who's worked on it," said series writer and co-creator Stephanie Phillips. "To see it take on new life (pun intended) as an animated series with Netflix is beyond exciting, and I can't wait for fans, new and old, to step into Jessica Harrow's world with us."

A character-driven supernatural saga, Grim follows Jessica Harrow, a newly recruited Reaper tasked with ferrying souls to the afterlife. Unlike her fellow Reapers, Jessica has no memory of her death or life before. Her search for answers pulls her deeper into the unseen architecture of the afterlife, revealing hidden forces, cosmic secrets, and her shocking personal connection to Death itself.

Miles Millar, Alfred Gough, and Aaron Schmidt will Executive Produce for Millar / Gough Ink. Stephen Christy and Adam Yoelin will Executive Produce for Boom Studios, with Mette Norkjaer Co-Executive Producing. Jen Yuh Nelson will Executive Produce. Comic series Co-Creators Stephanie Phillips and Flaviano will Co-Executive Produce.
