Michael Buckley Discusses Adapting ‘The Sisters Grimm’ for Apple TV+

Author Michael Buckley has created a captivating world with his book series “The Sisters Grimm.” The young heroines, Daphne and Sabrina, are like FBI agents Mulder and Scully from “The X-Files,” according to Buckley himself. His animated show adaptation transports viewers to the town of Ferryport Landing, where the sisters find themselves embroiled in a tale of magic and mystery.

Coming from Akron, Ohio, and an Ohio University graduate, Buckley’s path to becoming a writer was far from traditional. He shares that his childhood experiences did not involve a vast collection of books but rather humorous reads like Erma Bombeck’s works. Despite his struggles with undiagnosed ADHD and skepticism from teachers about his writing abilities, Buckley found his way to creating captivating stories that resonate with readers of all ages.

Buckley’s journey from a punk rock band member to a comedy writer ultimately led him to discover his passion for storytelling. The idea for “The Sisters Grimm” series originated from a random thought about the lesser-known siblings of the famous Brothers Grimm. This spark of creativity led him to craft a unique and engaging world for his characters to inhabit.

The animated show adaptation of “The Sisters Grimm” is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on October 3, drawing viewers into a world filled with magical creatures and family secrets. Buckley’s ability to create vibrant and relatable characters shines through in this series, making it a must-watch for fans of the book series and newcomers alike. With its debut just around the corner, “The Sisters Grimm” promises to be a thrilling and enchanting experience for viewers of all ages.
