Deadline reports that Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies has gotten a DVD and Video-On-Demand release, giving the series a second chance at being discovered by audiences after being cancelled and removed from Paramount+. The series premiered on Paramount+ on April 6, 2023 and the finale aired on June 1. Paramount+ pulled the series from the platform on June 23.
“In a particularly brutal move, it is also being removed from @paramountplus next and unless it finds a new home you will no longer be able to watch it anywhere,” series creator Annabel Oakes said on Instagram Stories, according to Deadline. “The cast, my creative partners, and I are all devastated at the complete erasure of our show.”
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies was released on VOD on services like Amazon and Apple’s iTunes. All episodes are available for $2.99 each and the entire 10-episode season is available for $19.99.
It was announced by Paramount Home Entertainment that the series is set to be released on DVD on November 7. The DVD box set will include over 30 minutes of special features.
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies is set in the 1950s and takes place four years before the events of the 1978 Grease film starring Olivia Newton-John (Two of a Kind, Xanadu) and John Travolta (Pulp Fiction, Saturday Night Fever). The show followed four fed-up outcasts who spark a moral panic that changes Rydell High School forever after the group dares to have fun on their own terms.
The series starred Cheyenne Isabel Wells (The Late Late Show with James Cordon, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies), Tricia Fukuhara (Queenpins, Noggin Knows), Marisa Davila (Holidate, Atypical), Jackie Hoffman (Feud, Only Murders in the Building), Ari Notartomaso (Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin, Mean Girls Musical), Madison Thompson (Creepshow, Ozark), and Josette Halpert (Antisocial, Level 16).
