Before Betty Rizzo, Frenchy, Jan and Marty Maraschino, there were Jane, Olivia, Cynthia and Nancy, the original snarling, swaggering, varsity jacket-toting Pink Ladies of Rydell High. 

That's the premise of Rise of the Pink Ladies, Paramount Plus' 10-part Grease prequel that pays homage to the smash-hit 1978 musical while attempting to subvert the school's dynamics and repackage the franchise to appeal to a modern audience.

Set in 1954, four years before Danny and Sandy's summer lovin', Rise of the Pink Ladies opens with bookworm Jane living out her high-school fantasy as Rydell Rangers quarterback Buddy's main squeeze. 

However, when things turn sour and her social cachet plummets, Jane recognizes that she won't get back to the top of the pecking order without being a little bit bad. 

When fellow misfits Olivia (the designated driver for the T-Birds, run by her brother), Cynthia (who wants to join the T-Birds) and Nancy (who only cares about fashion) join her cause, the Pink Ladies are born.

Episode 7 (Cruisin' for bruisin) airs Thursday, May 18. Follow our guide below for how to watch Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies online wherever you are.
