Production

Development

The series was given a straight-to-series order by WarnerMedia in October 2019 under the title Grease: Rydell High, set to air on their streaming service HBO Max.[1] In April 2020, Annabel Oakes was hired to write the pilot episode and act as executive producer for the series.[2] In May 2020, the title of the series was changed to Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, and it was announced that the series is set to premiere in 2021.[3]

In October 2020, it was announced that the series would instead premiere on Paramount+ after Chief Content Officer for HBO and HBO Max Casey Bloys decided to not move forward with the series at HBO Max. Along with the change of network, Annabel Oakes was announced to serve as creator of the series.[4]

Filming

The series is scheduled to be filmed in California after receiving a tax credit to shoot in the state.[5]
