‘Dirty Dancing’ Inspiration Grossinger’s Set For Scripted Series From Alan Zweibel & Harris Salomon
As Dirty Dancing 2 is set to launch in movie theaters later this summer, the resort that inspired the original is getting its own TV treatment.
It is the untold, multigenerational story of Jennie and Elaine Grossinger, the formidable matriarchs who transformed a humble Catskills boarding house into an empire of leisure, elegance, and resistance. It will trace their rise amid America’s postwar optimism, exploring how Grossinger’s became not just a resort, but a stage for the greatest entertainers of a generation, a haven for families seeking identity and dignity, and a quiet front in the fight against antisemitism and racism. Zweibel, who spent his childhood summers at Grossinger’s, has also produced series including Curb Your Enthusiasm and is currently working on a movie with director Barry Levinson.
