Four years before Sandy arrived at Rydell High, the Pink Ladies began their reign as the newest clique to champion the school’s class of outsiders. Paramount+’s new prequel series, Grease: The Rise of the Pink Ladies tells the story of the classic film’s outcasts set to the tune of teen friendships, sweet romance and standout dance numbers.
Marisa Davila stars as “Brainy” Jane, a Sandra Dee-type who sees her good-girl rep destroyed by a vicious rumor. Fed up with the social hierarchy, she bands together with fellow outcasts Olivia (Cheyenne Isabel Wells), a brainy romantic who’s been labeled the school slut; tomboy Cynthia (Ari Notartomaso), who longs to join the T-Birds; and Nancy (Tricia Fukuhara), who favors fashion over the dating scene.
