Q: Are they going to do "Grimm" again?
You can never say never to these things, but the 2017 series finale of "Grimm" gave a pretty definitive end to the show. The writers were fortunate to know well ahead of time that the show's sixth season would be its last, and so they wrote a proper ending for the show's complicated overarching storyline and its many characters.
The end was maybe a bit too definitive for some characters -- without giving away too much, quite a few major characters died at the end of the series.

Q: When is "The Wall" coming back? It's fun and exciting. I've not seen it being promoted as a summer replacement and hope it hasn't been dropped.
I'm going to assume your use of "dropped" was an intentional pun, and I love it. And so, you've earned the good news you're about to receive: the show, in which contestants' success is measured in balls being dropped down a towering wall, has been renewed for another season.
The problem is, the return date might well be as hard to predict as the game itself.
Q: I've seen Jemaine in a lot of things since "Flight of the Conchords" ended, but what's the other one been up to?
The "other one" in "Flight of the Conchords," the HBO series about a New Zealand folk duo trying to make it big in New York, is Bret McKenzie, and he's definitely been keeping a lower profile than co-star Jemaine Clement.
