How to watch Rise of the Pink Ladies

You can stream every episode of Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies exclusively on Paramount Plus in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Wherever you are, if you’re new to the service you'll be entitled to a free trial. Use a VPN to watch new episodes from abroad if you're away from home. 


Before Betty Rizzo, Frenchy, Jan and Marty Maraschino, there were Jane, Olivia, Cynthia and Nancy, the original snarling, swaggering, varsity jacket-toting Pink Ladies of Rydell High. 

That's the premise of Rise of the Pink Ladies, Paramount Plus' 10-part Grease prequel that pays homage to the smash-hit 1978 musical while attempting to subvert the school's dynamics and repackage the franchise to appeal to a modern audience.

Set in 1954, four years before Danny and Sandy's summer lovin', Rise of the Pink Ladies opens with bookworm Jane living out her high-school fantasy as Rydell Rangers quarterback Buddy's main squeeze. 

However, when things turn sour and her social cachet plummets, Jane recognizes that she won't get back to the top of the pecking order without being a little bit bad. 

When fellow misfits Olivia (the designated driver for the T-Birds, run by her brother), Cynthia (who wants to join the T-Birds) and Nancy (who only cares about fashion) join her cause, the Pink Ladies are born.

Between the bubblegum gazes and candyfloss shrieks, Rise of the Pink Ladies is loaded with original songs. Follow our guide below for how to watch Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies online wherever you are.

Use a VPN to watch Rise of the Pink Ladies from abroad

Using a VPN is as easy as one-two-three...

1. Download and install a VPN - as we say, our top choice is ExpressVPN

2. Connect to the appropriate server location - open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location.

3. Go to the broadcaster's stream - head to your home broadcaster's site or app and watch as if you were at home - so that's Paramount Plus for the US.
