Paramount+ has given a formal green light to Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, a prequel series to the classic 1978 film, which comes from Paramount Television Studios.
The 10-episode pickup, which had been in the works for weeks, marks the first official scripted series order since Ptvs President Nicole Clemens added a senior role at the streamer as President, Paramount+ Original Scripted Series.
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies is set four years before the original Grease. 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.
While the description can be interpreted as referring to the four Pink Ladies from the movie, Rizzo, Frenchy, Marty, and Jan, the spinoff series will actually feature new characters.
