About the Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies TV Series.
The “Grease” prequel takes place four years before Sandy and Danny’s relationship at Rydell High. “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. “
The 10-episode series is written and executive produced by creator and “Atypical” and “Transparent” alum Annabel Oakes. Marty Bowen and Erik Feig will also executive produce for Temple Hill and Picturestart, respectively. Both are also working with Paramount Pictures on the “Grease” prequel movie “Summer Lovin.” Alethea Jones (Made for Love, Dollface, Evil) will direct the first episode and produce.
The series will feature new original music, written and executive produced by Justin Tranter, a Grammy-award nominated songwriter and producer known for albums including Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia, Lady Gaga’s Chromatica and The Chicks’ Gaslighter.
Jamal Sims, whose work has appeared in When the Beat Drops, 13 The Musical and RuPaul’s Drag Race, will choreograph the musical numbers for the series.
The show was originally titled Grease: Rydell High and was ordered straight to series from HBO Max in October 2019. HBO Max scrapped the series, however. It then moved to Paramount+, where it underwent a creative overhaul and got a new title.
