Beauty & the Beast Disney+ Prequel Series Gets Disappointing Update
After the blockbuster success of Disney’s 2017 live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, the studio was keen to expand the magical universe further. A live-action prequel series was initially planned for Disney+’s streaming service, focusing on the unusual bond between characters Gaston (played by Luke Evans) and LeFou (portrayed by Josh Gad). However, in 2022, news emerged that the series had been put on hold indefinitely. Yet, there remained a faint possibility that the project might be revived somehow. In a recent interview with Out magazine, Evans revealed that as of now, the prequel series is no longer under consideration.
