Paramount Pictures has announced an exciting new series centered around the beloved Pink Ladies from the iconic film “Grease.” Titled “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies,” this prequel will stream exclusively on Paramount+. The series features the four outcast girls who formed the infamous group, including characters inspired by Rizzo, Frenchy, Jan, and Marty, originally portrayed by Stockard Channing, Didi Conn, Jamie Donnelly, and Dinah Manoff.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Rise of the Pink Ladies” will comprise 10 hour-long episodes set four years before the original “Grease” storyline. The show’s logline teases, “Before rock ‘n’ roll ruled, before the T-Birds were the coolest in the school, four fed-up, outcast girls dare to have fun on their own terms, sparking a moral panic that will change Rydell High forever.” This new installment, penned by Annabel Oakes—known for her work on the Netflix series “Atypical”—will be a musical comedy.
As reported by Vanity Fair, Oakes will collaborate with producers Marty Bowen and Erik Feig, who are also developing a film called “Summer Lovin’.” This film will explore Danny and Sandy’s love story during their junior and senior years, occurring three-and-a-half years after the events of “Rise of the Pink Ladies.”
Originally titled “Grease: Rydell High,” the series was intended for HBO Max and had been announced back in 2019 as a reimagining of the classic film with both familiar characters and new original songs. Sarah Aubrey, then head of content at HBO Max, expressed excitement about the project’s potential, describing it as a high school experience depicted on the grand scale of a rock ’n’ roll musical. However, when HBO Max decided to cancel the show, Paramount+ stepped in, giving it a fresh title and a creative overhaul.
While casting details remain undisclosed, anticipation is high for the story of the Pink Ladies to unfold. The original “Grease,” released in the late ’70s, achieved massive success, grossing $400 million against a modest $6 million budget, and has led to numerous adaptations, including revivals and a live performance on Fox in 2016 featuring Julianne Hough and Vanessa Hudgens.
