What’s Coming to Paramount+ in April 2023: ‘Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies,’ ‘Fatal Attraction,’ ‘Yonder’
The Pink Ladies of “Grease,” the most colorful Rydell High students, are back on April 6 on Paramount+. However, this won’t be the same collection of young women from the original film — or even its cult classic sequel. This round, we see how the popular clique got its start. The girls now have a show of their own: “Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies,” a salute to 1950s teens who refuse to conform to conventional standards. The new musical series shows us Rydell High before Sandy and Danny start strutting down the halls. The show stars Marisa Davila, Cheyenne Isabel Wells, Ari Notartomaso, and Tricia Fukuhara.

Paramount+ is also producing an original series “Fatal Attraction,” based on the 1980s hit thriller. The TV version refocuses the lens, exploring a modern approach to women, infidelity, personality disorders, and coercive control. It’s also telling two stories: The affair between Alex (Lizzy Caplan) and Dan (Joshua Jackson) in real-time and the consequences for Dan 15 years later. The show debuts on April 30.
Check out the trailer for “Fatal Attraction”:
Also coming to the streamer in April is the South Korean drama “Yonder.” The series premieres on April 11, and tells the story of Jae-hyun. After his wife dies, he receives a message from her – an invitation to a world called Yonder, which was designed based on her memories. The show stars Shin Ha-kyun, Han Ji-min, Lee Jeong-eun, and Jung Jin-young.
“The Godfather” franchise is also coming to the streamer April 1. Crime never goes out of style. “Leave the gun, take the cannolis.”
