Hey there greasers, I’m back with another post about the upcoming Paramount+ Original Series “Grease: Rise Of The Pink Ladies” and if you missed my share of the Official Teaser clip just click HERE to be up to speed. The full on Official Trailer just recently dropped and can be reviewed down below along with the premise, casting and updated artwork. Take a look.
The Premise: The series takes place in 1954, four years before the events of Grease, and follows four fed-up and misfit students who band together to bring out the moral panic that will change Rydell High forever and become the founding mothers of the first female high school clique, known as the “Pink Ladies”.
The Cast and Characters:
Marisa Davila as Jane Facciano
Cheyenne Isabel Wells as Olivia Valdovinos

Piercing Ken Thoughts: My thoughts on this are the same as those lined out in the Teaser Trailer post. This looks cute but I won’t be rushing to be checking it out when it premieres. Most of that thought process is because its on a network that I don’t currently subscribe to which is Paramount+. I plan on renewing that to catch all of the recent “Star Trek” stuff but those shows will be taking precedent for me when I do this. There is a whole lot of “Glee” vibe to this which might win some people over and as I wrap this post up I wonder what you think and ask you to chime in down below in the comments section. See you next time Greasers, please keep safe out there. Until we meet again (in the next post of course)
