Disney Announces New "Beauty and the Beast" Live-Action Prequel Series
A brand new Beauty and the Beast live-action series is finally coming years after the release of the film.
Currently working under the title, Beauty and the Beast (yep, the same name), the series will focus on LeFou and Gaston in their sweet little town where it all got started.
"Set in the iconic kingdom of Beauty and the Beast years before the Beast and Belle's epic romance, the series will follow Gaston and LeFou as they set off with LeFou's step-sister, Tilly, after a surprising revelation from her past comes to light, sending the unlikely trio off on an unexpected journey filled with romance, comedy, and adventure. While the mysteries of the past are uncovered and the dangers of the present grow, old friends and new enemies reveal that this familiar kingdom harbors many secrets," Disney revealed in a press release.
Luke Evans and Josh Gad are back to reprise their roles as Gaston and LeFou AKA Louie, respectively. Briana Middleton is joining in as Louie’s stepsister, Tilly.
The show will be a limited musical series airing on Disney+, with Disney icon Alan Menken serving as the composer. Once Upon a Time writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, along with star Josh Gad, are the show's writers and creators.
Fans will have to wait a little bit longer to watch the series as production is currently set to start in spring 2022. The official release date for the series has not been announced and there's no word if any other actors from the live-action film will also be returning.
So get ready to head back to France for an all-new adventure! Just leave your giant yellow ball gown at home for this one.
