‘Grease’ spinoff show headed to HBO Max

October 15, 2019 By Jessica Napoli

“Grease” is the word over at HBO Max, where a television series spinoff from the classic 1978 musical is in the works.

The streaming service said Tuesday that “Grease: Rydell High” will be set in the 1950s, the same era as the film, and will include new and familiar characters. The music will blend ’50s songs and original tunes.
