The trailer of the series shows that brothers Jacob and Wilhelm wrote a collection of fairy tales and made them into a book. The brothers also had a little sister named Charlotte. One day, when her brothers were telling a fairy tale, as usual, she asked what had happened to them afterwards. They lived happily ever after that, didn't they?
The trailer ends with her question without giving any clue about what happens after that. The pages of Grimm's Fairy Tales are now presented from the perspective of Charlotte, who sees the stories quite differently from her brothers.
