Paramount+ has just dropped an official trailer for Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies. A prequel to the hit film starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, the series will be coming to the streaming platform on April 6. To tease the upcoming release, the new trailer unveils plenty of new footage of the characters we’ll be meeting at Rydell High in 1954, leading up to the boom of rock ’n’ roll that would change high school forever. Check out the new teaser trailer below.

“Our characters will get to experience from a different lens and how those experiences overlap with others with a marginalized identity,” creator Annabel Oakes said about the show during its TCA panel, per Deadline. “I think we have the opportunity to represent another struggle that overlaps with things we’re dealing with today like racism.”

Oakes serves as showrunner and executive produces the series with Mary Bowen, Adam Fishbach, Alethea Jones, Erik Feig, and Samie Kim Falvey. The series will feature new original music that’s written and executive produced by Grammy nominee Justin Tranter, while Jamal Sims serves as choreographer.

“We are thrilled to unveil our new original series that will introduce an incredible cast of young stars in the making and electrifying musical numbers you will fall in love with,” Nicole Clemens said on behalf of Paramount+ when announcing the series. “Annabel and Alethea have managed to brilliantly capture the spirit of the iconic, beloved classic film which, like Rise of the Pink Ladies, is both set in the past but relevant to the present.”
