‘Grease: Rise Of The Pink Ladies’ Drops Teaser Trailer, Sets Paramount+ Premiere Date
Paramount+ is taking a trip back in time in the first teaser trailer for its upcoming series Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (above). The musical comedy is set to premiere on April 6.
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies takes place four years before the original Grease; in 1954 before rock ‘n’ roll ruled, before the T-Birds were the coolest in the school, four fed-up, outcasts dare to have fun on their own terms, sparking a moral panic that will change Rydell High forever.

“Our characters will get to experience from a different lens and how those experiences overlap with others with a marginalized identity,” said series creator Annabel Oakes during the show’s TCA panel on Monday. “I think we have the opportunity to represent another struggle that overlaps with things we’re dealing with today like racism.”

Marty Bowen will executive produce for Temple Hill, Adam Fishbach also will executive produce, and Alethea Jones will direct the pilot plus two more episodes and will executive produce.
