School’s out, permanently. Paramount+ has cancelled the Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies TV series, so the streamer won’t be making a second season.
Starring Marisa Davila, Cheyenne Isabel Wells, Ari Notartomaso, Tricia Fukuhara, Shanel Bailey, Madison Thompson, Johnathan Nieves, Jason Schmidt, Maxwell Whittington-Cooper, and Jackie Hoffman, the series is set in 1954, four years before the events seen in the Grease film.
Showrunner Annabel Oakes wrote the first season’s ten episodes, released between April 6th and June 1st. Paramount+ will soon remove the first season of Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies from the service and won’t be making a second season. Paramount Television Studios will have the option to shop the series elsewhere.
The decision to cut the show is part of the company’s plan to take tax write-offs for underperforming series. Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery have taken similar actions in recent months.
The streamer has also cancelled The Game reboot, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Queen of the Universe, and those shows will also be pulled soon. A statement from Paramount+ reads, “We want to extend our thanks to our tremendously talented cast and crew and our producing partners for their passionate work and dedication on these programs, and we wish them all the best on their future endeavors.”
What do you think? Have you watched the Pink Ladies TV series? Are you disappointed that the Paramount+ series has been cancelled?
I am SOO SADDENED!! This is a great show with amazing songs and dance. WHY CANCEL??
I listen to the soundtrack for my walks and workouts.
Super storyline. Please don’t cancel!!!
It’s one of the best shows out there!!!
I think this was not a smart move. There was a cliffhanger at the very end and I’m sick of shows getting left undone. If you thought there was a possibility of canceling the show then, there shouldn’t have been a cliffhanger.
I really enjoyed the show. The actors are so talented. The songs were fun. It wasn’t historically accurate but it never claimed to be. It was just a cute show that let me forget my troubles for 40 minutes
They can’t do that. They can’t remove it from Paramount+.

Er, yes they can. And they did.
Trust me, in this day and age of Tax write offs your petition will gather zero weight. It’s gone. Live with it.
We had to with HBO shows that got canned the same way.
This is one of the shows that should be canceled
That socks. I like the show. Every show I like always get canceled. Why is that? Cancel the reality shows like Naked and Afraid, the bachelor and Bachelorette, love boat, and others.
I’m so tired of good shows getting canceled and these stupid reality shows keep getting approved like the stupid bachelor or naked and afraid I looked forward to watching the rise of the pink ladies so far all of the good shows I’ve watched have been canceled
I’m very upset to hear this news.
I have been so invested with the grease prequel series
It’s well done the choreography is amazing the music infectious. How many series have to end before we all just stop giving them a chance
