Disney+ Is Reportedly Working on aBeauty and the BeastPrequel Series Starring…Gaston and LeFou

There ’s nothing Disney loves more thanmining its previous collision for new contentedness , which is why a Beauty and the Beast cyclosis serial publication about its villains makes staring common sense : It ’s a whirl - off prequel ofa bouncy - activity remakeof one of Disney ’s most darling animated classic . How was this not already in the works ?

The Hollywood Reporterbroke the word that Luke Evans andJosh Gadwill be reprising their roles as jerky beefcake Gaston and his arrhythmic sidekick LeFou ; Gad will also be a co - writer with showrunners Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz ( Once Upon a Time ) . The swop also noted that the as - yet - untitled Disney+ show will be “ a six - episode musical event , ” and remind anyone who forgothow Beauty and the Beast endsthat it ’ll be a prequel .

Since the projection is still in its other level , there ’s not much more information as yet — THR cites “ source ” as enunciate the show will “ expand the Beauty and the Beast macrocosm , ” and that “ there is a possibility that ” other superstar from the motion picture , like Emma Watson or Dan Stevens , “ could bulge in for a guest fleck . ” As for the secret plan , we had some ideas back when the pic number out in 2017 , and we ’re just glad this is the next stop for the Beauty and the Beast money gearing rather thana cinematic sequel .

My what a guy, that Gaston.
