The season, which streams on Paramount+, will also be available on DVD Nov. 7, with more than 30 minutes of special features.
The prequel series to the classic movie Grease tells the origin story of the infamous ’50s girl gang. It’s 1954, four years before the original Grease, and the moral panic over juvenile delinquency, sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll in Rydell is reaching a fever pitch and the adults are desperate to get control. Enter four outcast teenage girls who band together to become rebels with a cause. Together they’ll shake Rydell out of the silent ’50s and into the new rock ‘n’ roll era.
