Disney+ Orders ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Prequel Series With Josh Gad & Luke Evans

It\’s a tale as old as time and it\’s back as a musical series.
 
Disney\’s animated classic, \”Beauty and the Beast\” is being turned into an eight-episode series for the Disney+ streaming network.
 
The series is a prequel to the 2017 live-action film and will tell the story before Belle and the Beast fell in love.  It will follow Gaston played by Luke Evans and Josh Gad who\’s back as LeFou!
 
This projects marks the 30th anniversary of the animated 1991 classic.  And I for one can\’t wait to find out how Gaston ended up taking the wrong path.  And for those of you who are \”Once Upon A Time\” fans the guys who created that gem for ABC  Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz are serving as executive producers/co-showrunners. And that\’s reason enough for me to watch and sing along.  https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/15/entertainment/beauty-and-the-beast-disney-music-series-trnd/index.html
