Personally, I think a shorter number of episodes might work out for the best. It would force the writers not to monkey around with Wesen-of-the-Week subplots and other story threads that develop at a sluggish pace, knowing in advance they have to build events up to a definitive conclusion. (Assuming the season won't be extended.)
Quote:This season, NBC had nine drama series debuting in September through late fall, three of them new (plus limited series Heroes Reborn). The network has already renewed eight drama series for next season, with one more, The Mysteries of Laura, on the bubble. It is pretty clear that not all returning NBC drama series would make it on the fall schedule. That may include for the first time veteran Grimm, whose initial Season 6 order is for 13 episodes, not the customary 22, I have learned.
That is not a fixed number, as I hear the pickup is for a minimum of 13 episodes, with a likelihood for more. The move was made to give NBC brass scheduling flexibility.
