Musical and retro spirit lovers, this new generation Grease is for you. With its visibly well-produced dance sequences, its good humor, its emancipatory speech and its promising cast, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies should easily fill a box left empty for a while, those of musical series.
4 years before Grease
Which was not at all obvious on paper, adapting the cult film by Randal Kleiser with John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John had to ask for a lot of challenges. The musical series takes place four years before the action of the original Grease film, in 1954, before the advent of rock'n'roll and the gang of T-Birds ruled the high school. Four rebellious young girls who are a little jaded then decide to have fun in their own way, upsetting the moral order of Rydell High School forever.
2 episodes per week
Annabel Oakes (Atypical, Minx) is the showrunner of the 10-episode series. The two lead roles are held by Marisa Davila as Jane and Cheyenne Isabel Wells as Olivia. The series will be launched on April 7 in France on the Paramount+ platform with two episodes per week.
