Per the show’s logline, “before rock ‘n’ roll ruled, before the T-Birds were the coolest in the school, four fed-up, outcast girls dare to have fun on their own terms, sparking a moral panic that will change Rydell High forever.”

And 14 year old Rizzo will be played by Stockard Channing.

“…forever”? You mean until time ends? I’m betting the school probably changed again in that time — might even have been closed or torn down. 🤣 Note: “forever” is one of modern noose medea’s (sic) most inaccurate, superfluous cliches (along with “everyone’s” talking about…).

MY BITCHES

Huh? Who wants to see freshman, inexperienced, Pink Ladies?🧐

As long as they don’t have Channing still trying to a be a teenager, I’ll watch it

I always wanted a follow up on Rizzo and Kenickie

It will be a HW right off 😢

How about ‘Grease: The Next Generation’ with vice principal Kenickie. But this time, a hicky from Kenickie lands him on Dateline NBC.

👀

Oh, dear God. No.

So when they were in their early 30s during middle school ?

Good grief

Why? It’s well known that the franchise was VERY problematic and hasn’t aged well because of that.

Why?

I'm just happy Stockard Channing is going to reprise her role and play a pre-teen Rizzo

Bad idea. GREASE was scrubbed to make a fun cotton candy movie. Let's NOT do this, please. Regardless of the time period shows are set, they reflect current values. In the case of the movie version, it was late 70's. A Pink Ladies prequel is not a good idea in 2021-22.

Why though?

Better than the other Grease prequel pitched, “Sexual Assault On A Beach”

I would not mind watching Grease live on tv again literally live same night and everything. VanessaHudgens mariolopezviva the same cast live again not a prerecorded.
