BC-Filmed GREASE: RISE OF THE PINK LADIES Cancelled By Paramount+
Prequel musical series Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies is not getting a second season of filming in B.C. The Paramount+ show, which takes place four years earlier than the original Grease movie, is cancelled and will be pulled from the streaming service.
Showrunner Annabel Oakes called it a “particularly brutal move” on her Instagram stories.
Rise of the Pink Ladies is story of the rise of the original girl gang, starring Marisa Davila as“Brainy” Jane, Tricia Fukuhara as Nancy, Ari Notartomaso as tomboy Cynthia and Cheyenne Isabel Wells as Olivia .
Before rock ‘n’ roll ruled, before the T-Birds were the coolest in the school, four fed-up, outcast girls dare to have fun on their own terms, sparking a moral panic that will change Rydell High forever.
The prequel series filmed in Vancouver from late January to early August last year.
