The first official trailer for a Grease prequel series has been released, but fans have predicted the show will “flop” after watching the “cringe” trailer. Paramount+ dropped the trailer for Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies during The Drew Barrymore Show on Tuesday (February 7), alongside a special appearance by the four female leads.
The musical series is a prequel to the iconic 1978 musical starring John Travolta and the late Dame Olivia Newton-John, taking place four years before the original film. Its official synopsis reads: “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.”
The series stars Marisa Davila, Cheyenne Isabel Wells, Ari Notartomaso, and Tricia Fukuhara as the founding members of the titular high school clique. It is written and executive produced by Annabel Oakes (Atypical, Minx), who also serves as showrunner.
