Apple TV+ releases season 2 trailer for 'The Sisters Grimm

Apple TV+ unveiled the trailer for the second season of its animated adventure series “The Sisters Grimm” on Thursday, confirming an October 2024 premiere on the streaming platform. The short video, posted to Apple’s official channels, shows the Grimm sisters confronting new magical threats while hinting at deeper family secrets. The trailer marks the first public look at the eight‑episode season and sets a release date for the first week of October.

The series debuted in October 2023, adapting Michael Buckley’s bestselling “The Sisters Grimm” books about two sisters who discover they are descendants of fairy‑tale detectives. Season 1 earned strong viewership among families and drew praise for its witty writing, vibrant animation, and a voice cast that includes Emily Mortimer, John Malkovich and Jodie Comer. Apple has been building a roster of kid‑friendly titles to compete with Disney+ and Netflix, and the renewal signals confidence in the show’s ability to attract both children and nostalgic adults. The decision to push a second season came after the first earned a nomination for Best Animated Series at the Critics Choice Awards and saw a 30 percent increase in subscriber growth among households with kids.

The new trailer reveals that the sisters will travel beyond the Grimm Library to a hidden realm called the “Twilight Bazaar,” where they must outwit a rogue sorcerer and rescue a missing magical artifact. Returning voices will reprise their roles, and new talent such as Finn Wolfhard joins as a teenage trickster. Early reactions on social media have been enthusiastic, with fans noting the bright color palette and the promise of more complex myth‑building. Apple TV+ will roll out a marketing push that includes behind‑the‑scenes clips, interactive quizzes on its app, and a partnership with a major toy maker for collectible figures. The October launch will test whether the series can sustain its momentum and become a cornerstone of Apple’s family programming lineup.
