Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies is a musical drama series that premiered on Paramount+ in 2023. Set in 1954, four years before the original Grease movie, the show explores the origins of the iconic girl gang, The Pink Ladies. The series follows a diverse group of outsiders who become friends and form the Pink Ladies after meeting at Rydell High School. The core four Pink Ladies are Jane, Olivia, Cynthia, and Nancy, each dealing with their own struggles and trying to find where they belong. Jane is the leader of the pack, a confident and rebellious young woman masking her own insecurities. Olivia is an aspiring singer trying to break free from the expectations placed on her due to her wealth and pedigree. Shy Cynthia struggles with self-esteem issues but finds her voice with the Pink Ladies. And activist Nancy advocates for marginalized students, including her nonbinary sibling.

As the Pink Ladies come together and empower each other, they also contend with the social hierarchies and cliques at Rydell High. This includes clashes with the school's queen bee Hazel and her Girl Squad, as well as local greaser gang The Scorpions led by Able. The Pink Ladies must also navigate their relationships and crushes on various boys at school.

With an electric soundtrack featuring covers of classic '50s tunes along with new original music, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies captures all the fun, drama, and heart of high school. As the Pink Ladies find their self-confidence and voices, they inspire each other and Rydell students to be true to themselves. Their sisterhood becomes a powerful force for embracing individuality and positive change.

While the original Grease film only hinted at the formation of the Pink Ladies, this prequel series allows a deeper exploration of how these influential characters came together. It shines a light on who they were before becoming the icons immortalized in Grease. Their stories resonate with modern audiences through timely themes of female empowerment, acceptance of difference, and the unbreakable bonds of friendship. Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies offers a vibrant origin story for a beloved pop culture girl gang.

Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies is a series that ran for 1 seasons (10 episodes) between April 6, 2023 and on
