'Grease: Rise Of The Pink Ladies' Trailer Shows Outcasts Having Fun In High School
Paramount+ has dropped the teaser for the upcoming prequel series, "Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies" on Monday which features exciting new things at Rydell High.
The 45-second trailer begins with the school's assistant principal (Jackie Hoffman) telling a group of four female students to guard their reputation while in school.
"Ladies, you must be careful with whom you associate. A girl's reputation is all that she has," she said to four seemingly bored women: Jane (Marisa Davila), Olivia (Cheyenne Isabel Wells), Cynthia (Ari Notartomaso) and Nancy (Tricia Fukuhara).
The trailer also features a new version of the track "Grease" in the background coupled with a montage of school fights, romances, a cool car ride and several musical numbers.
One of the scenes shows a group of male students in leather jackets clashing with a group of men wearing red jackets on a football field. Also featured in the trailer is a group of students dancing outside what seems to be a diner as "Grease" plays in the background.
"Grease is the word, is the word that you heard, it's got groove, it's got meaning," the students sing.
Jane tells her pals Olivia, Cynthia and Nancy, "Sometimes you've gotta be bad to do good...things are about to get wild," before they strut down the hallways in their matching pink jackets with the word Pink Ladies written on the back.
The new musical is set in 1954 — four years before the original film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John took place. The show is comprised of 10 episodes and is set to be shown on Paramount+ beginning April 6. New episodes will be released weekly.
A previous release from the streaming platform said the series begins when "four fed-up outcasts dare to have fun on their own terms, sparking a moral panic that will change Rydell High forever."
"We are thrilled to unveil our new original series that will introduce an incredible cast of young stars in the making and electrifying musical numbers you will fall in love with," Paramount Television Studios and Paramount+ Original Scripted Series president Nicole Clemens said in the press release.
The original film was based on a 1971 musical of the same name. Its blockbuster success led to a sequel starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Maxwell Caulfield and several stage adaptations.
