Grease is the word. Here’s the first trailer for Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, a new series based on the iconic rock ‘n’ roll musical originally starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

Rise of the Pink Ladies premieres on Paramount Plus on April 6. The musical show was originally intended for HBO Max under the tile Grease: Rydell High, but after a couple of years in development the renamed series wound up heading for Paramount’s rival streaming service.
