A joyous musical series set in and around the world of Rydell High, the show reimagines the global smash hit movie with some characters you already know, and a whole lot more you will soon meet. It&#8217;s still the 1950s, a world that rocks with big musical numbers from the period combined with new original songs as well. It&#8217;s the peer pressures of high school, the horrors of puberty, and the rollercoaster of life in middle America with a modern sensibility that will bring it to life for today&#8217;s musical lovers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Grease is an iconic pop-culture phenomenon that works for every generation, and I&#8217;m thrilled that our friends at Paramount were excited about the idea of opening up the show and putting it on a larger canvas for a weekly series,&#8221; said Sarah Aubrey, head of original content, HBO Max. &#8220;This is high school and life in small-town USA told on the scale of a big rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll musical. It&#8217;s Grease 2.0 but with the same spirit, energy, and excitement you immediately think of when you hear any of these iconic songs.
