The character of tomboy Cynthia was inspired by Anybodys from "West Side Story." In the 1960 Broadway production, Anybodys was portrayed by Patricia Birch, who went on to choreograph "Grease" from stage to screen, as well as both choreograph and direct "Grease 2."
All of the episode titles are quotes from the original film
This is set 4 school years before Grease (1), and 5 years before Grease 2.
When Paramount+ (Ireland version) released the first series, episodes 1 & 2 were both released on the same day, so they could be optionally watched back to back, as a feature length (pilot) movie. Subsequent episodes of series 1 have reverted back to Paramount+'s standard 1 episode per week release schedule, for new non-children focused shows.
Paramount+ canceled the show after just one season and will also be removing it from the streaming service.
