“#Beauty and the Beast: Filming of Disney+ Prequel Series<\/a> Cancelled, At Least For Now<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"Beauty<\/p>\n

The Beauty and the Beast<\/em> prequel series isn\u2019t happ<\/a>ening, at least right now. There were plans to film the live-action Disney+ TV show this summer but they\u2019ve now been cancelled and the series has been postponed indefinitely.<\/p>\n

The project was to star Luke Evans and Josh Gad reprising their roles from the 2017 Beauty and the Beast <\/em>feature film. Briana Middleton, Fra Fee, Rita Ora, and Jelani Alladin were also cast in lead roles for the show. Ordered in June 2021, the prequel series was to be set in the iconic kingdom, years before the Beast and Belle\u2019s epic romance. The story follows Gaston (Evans) and LeFou (Gad) as they set off with LeFou\u2019s stepsister, Tilly (Middleton). After a surprising revelation from her past comes to light, the unlikely trio sets 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. <\/span><\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> reports that the reason for the cancellation of filming was made for creative reasons and scripts and original music wouldn\u2019t be ready in time to shoot this summer. Filming had already been delayed from a spring schedule and delaying production until fall wasn\u2019t an option because of talent availability and weather concerns. The series was to be filmed in Europe and Disney didn\u2019t want to film the musical series in gloomy weather.<\/p>\n

The Beauty and the Beast<\/em> prequel was developed and written by Gad and Once Upon a Time<\/em> creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. The trio was to also serve as executive producers and co-showrunners. Alan Menken was set to write the music and executive produce. Deadline reports that Disney intends to continue working on the series and it likely will eventually be made. It\u2019s unknown if the current cast or creative team will continue to be involved.<\/p>\n

On Twitter<\/a>, Gad wrote<\/a>, \u201cSadly, \u2018Tis true. We tried to make it all work but under the gun it wasn\u2019t meant to be\u2026 for now. These characters and this story will live on, but sometimes the best intentions & reality collide & nothing can be done.\u201d He added<\/a>, \u201cBut\u2026 we truly hope we get to make it when our schedules allow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evans added<\/a>, \u201cThis is a very sad message for us to tweet. We are devastated. Goodbye, for now, from Gaston and Le fou\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you think?<\/a> Were you looking forward to watching the Beauty and the Beast<\/em> prequel series? Are you hoping that it eventually gets made?\n<\/p>\n
