Only two months after premiering on Paramount+, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies has been canceled after a single season. The streaming giant also made an uncharacteristic decision to remove it from their platform along with several other shows.
Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies serves as the prequel series to the iconic 70s musical Grease and chronicles the foundation of Rydell High’s first female high school clique the Pink Ladies. The series premiered on April 6, and its leading ensemble cast included Marisa Davila, Cheyenne Isabel Wells, Ari Notartomaso, Tricia Fukuhara, Shanel Bailey, and Madison Thompson.
Creator Annabel Oakes described the decision to remove the series from the streaming service as a “particularly brutal move”, but thanked the show’s beautiful fans for all of their support.
“People are already sending messages and videos about how much the show meant to them and I absolutely love hearing and seeing them. The #1 thing we would love is for you to watch the show before it comes down,” wrote Oakes on Instagram.
In addition to Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, Paramount+ also canceled Star Trek: Prodigy, Queen of the Universe, and The Game. All four shows will be removed from their streaming service as a content write-down.
