Showrunner Annabel Oakes, expressed her disappointment at the news of the “Grease” spin-off being cancelled.
“I am sorry to say that this is true. @riseofthepinkladies has been cancelled,” she began her Instagram Story.
She continued, “In a particularly brutal move, it is also being removed from @paramountplus next week and unless it finds a new home you will no longer be able to watch it anywhere. The cast, my creative partners, and I are all devastated at the complete erasure of our show.”
The director went on to thank the fans for all their support and hoped that audiences would give the show a chance before it was removed off the platform.
“People are already sending messages and videos about how much the show meant to them and I absolutely love hearing and seeing them,” she added. “The #1 thing we would is for you to watch the show before it comes down.”
