Paramount+ has an upcoming Grease spinoff TV show, called Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies. Premiering later this year, the series will follow the founders of its eponymous gang from Rydell High, the setting of the original 1978 musical. Although eager audiences still have to wait a bit longer for the spinoff show to arrive, Paramount has already released a good amount of information.

Grease is still regarded today as an iconic American musical. Originally produced for the stage, it ran on Broadway from 1972 to 1980, with the classic John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John movie adaptation hitting the big screen in 1978.
