Apple TV+ Just Dropped the Perfect 'Over the Garden Wall' Replacement You Can Binge in 2 Hours

As fall arrives, we crave projects that create a special, warm, and mysterious atmosphere, and the new animated series The Sisters Grimm does just that.

Based on Michael Buckley's popular book series of the same name, the series immerses us in a world of fairy tale creatures and will be a delightful discovery for anyone who misses cult animated shows like Gravity Falls.

What Is 'The Sisters Grimm' About?

After the mysterious disappearance of their parents and a series of unsuccessful foster homes, sisters Sabrina and Daphne Grimm, descendants of the famous Wilhelm Grimm, find themselves in their grandmother's house in the strange town of Ferryport Landing.

Seven-year-old Daphne happily explores their new home, which is filled with ancient books and artifacts. However, twelve-year-old Sabrina, who is responsible for her sister, is skeptical and plans to escape.

However, it soon becomes clear that the town is inhabited by real fairy tale creatures whom their ancestor once housed under a magical dome.

'The Sisters Grimm' Reminds of 'Gravity Falls' & 'Over the Garden Wall', but Goes Its Own Way

Similar to Gravity Falls, this story takes place in a small town full of secrets, where a new guardian is hiding important secrets.

The dynamic between the sisters – the pragmatic, distrustful Sabrina, and the kind, spontaneous Daphne – resembles the relationship between Wirt and Greg in Over the Garden Wall.

However, The Sisters Grimm quickly establishes its own identity by delving into the rich mythology built on the Brothers Grimm legacy and offering its own unique mystery.

'The Sisters Grimm' Is a Cozy, Heartwarming Show Perfect for Cold Fall Nights

Soft graphics, warm colors, swirling orange leaves, and the cozy interiors of Grandma's house are the perfect visual accompaniment to the cold season.

It's the kind of show that makes you want to snuggle up in a blanket with a hot cup of tea. The Sisters Grimm combines adventure, a touching story about family and growing up, and intrigue that keeps you hooked until the very last episode.
