PARAMOUNT+ HIGHLIGHTS
GREASE: RISE OF THE PINK LADIES (Premiering April 6)
Grease is, once again, the word. In April, audiences will return to Rydell High for a new fun-filled journey that celebrates the sounds of the 1950s, musical theater and the spirit of youthful rebellion with the Paramount+ Original series. The new series draws inspiration from the stories of many women from all walks of life who attended high school in the 1950s, including the grandmas and aunties of members of the show’s writers’ room.
A theme that resonates just as powerfully today as it did then is the struggle to express yourself while the world around you tries to put you in a box. The leading “Pink Ladies” themselves have diverse backgrounds, including Asian, Latina and non-binary, and are excited to see their own stories set to music in the show.
FATAL ATTRACTION (Premiering April 30)
Audiences will be on the edge of their seats for the premiere of the Paramount+ Original drama series “Fatal Attraction,” starring Joshua Jackson, Lizzy Caplan and Amanda Peet. Showrunner Alexandra Cunningham takes the iconic 1980s psychological thriller in new directions, touching on the timeless themes of marriage and infidelity through the lens of modern attitudes toward strong women, personality disorders and coercive control.
In a major twist, the show will tell its story in two parallel timelines: during the events surrounding the affair between Alex (Caplan) and Dan (Jackson) as it unfolds, as well as 15 years later when Dan has been released from prison and must try to repair his relationship with his daughter Ellen (Alyssa Jirrels), who is now all grown up.
Taking on the role of Alex, played by Glenn Close in the original film, Caplan worked with a clinical psychologist in order to create a complex portrayal of the effects of borderline personality disorder as well as the debilitating stresses of a high-profile career.
Succeeding Michael Douglas as Dan, Jackson was interested in communicating the profound effects of imprisonment and the weight of what he has put his family through. It all adds up to a captivating, combustible ride you won’t want to miss.
