Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Rise of the Pink Ladies isn't quite automatic, systematic, or hydromatic with its catalogue of merely passable songs, but the core cast is plucky enough that nostalgic viewers will want it to tell them more, tell them more.

Carmen Phillips Autostraddle 04/25/2023
Without any serious consideration to historical specificity and its impact on the lives of Rydell’s students of color, all Pink Ladies does instead is open up an unsatisfying Pandora’s box. Even if it is one shimmering in bright pink glitter. Go to Full Review

As a drama in its own right, it’s neither automatic, systematic nor hydromatic. If you’re a hopelessly devoted Grease fan, this probably isn’t the one that you want. Go to Full Review

4.5/10
Nobody’s going to deny how good-looking of a show it is, but with forgettable songs, muddled messages, and unconvincing platonic relationships, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies is terrific style but terrible substance. Go to Full Review

Ava @avamarie 03/14/2024 The music, plot, and acting were fantastic! Absolutely devastated this was cancelled so early with so much potential. See more aalliyah l 07/20/2023 my girls deserved more seasons. See more Storm 07/10/2023 Absolutely loved this show! The music is so amazing and they could not have picked a better cast. I mean the vocals on the cast alone is insane! I highly recommend! See more Ashley S 06/29/2023 I fell in love with this cast in the first five minutes, the music is to die for. The clothing the cast wore was tremendously beautiful and so different to what were used to seeing on the television screen. The men and women worked their butts off dancing singing you can tell they really enjoyed it. I even purchased the vinyl album with the signatures. I was looking forward to the second season the cliff hanger had me riled up. I took the pink ladies pledge were family. See more Brian G 06/29/2023 I love this show. The characters were loveable and entertaining. It brought back so much nostalgia. I am so disappointed with Paramount + cancelling this amazing and fun show. Considering Dropping my subscription because of the cancelation. See more Meg S 06/28/2023 It's an amazing series with amazing characters and music and important themes I love it See more Read all reviews
