The Paramount+ streaming service has been on the market since December 2022 and is already promising the production of some hit series. This also applies to the musical series “Grease – Rise of the Pink Ladies”, which starts in April and tells the story before the cult film “Grease”. Before the start of the series, Paramount+ is now releasing a music video that features the title track “Grease is the Word” and introduces you to some of the characters.

For example, in the music video, you see the protagonist Jane (Marisa Davila) wearing a red football jacket and visiting a drive-in movie theater with a boy. Like the film “Grease”, the series takes place in the USA in the 1950s. Jane is a high school student and founder of the Pink Ladies girl clique who stars in “Grease.” The series shows you the history of the Pink Ladies, who consist of nothing but misfits.

In addition to Jane, these include Olivia (Cheyenne Isabel Wells), Cynthia (Ari Notartomaso) and Nancy (Tricia Fukuhara), who you meet in the music video. In the video, Nancy is shunned by the other students and whispered that it’s outrageous that she even shows her face. The video also has great choreographies, smooching teenagers and waving petticoats, everything that makes “Grease” so special.

The prequel was created by Annabel Oakes and produced by Marty Bowen, Erik Feig and Alethea Jones (“Made for Love”). In addition to the old title track, 31 new songs were written, which form the soundtrack of the series. Unlike the ’70s film, the musical series has a much more diverse cast and addresses social issues that are relevant today, such as social justice and racism.
