Disney+ To Bring Beauty And The Beast’s Gaston and LeFou Back To Life In Origin Series

Josh Gad and Luke Evans will soon be reprising their roles as Beauty And The Beast’s Gaston and LeFou. Disney+ is currently in the midst of working on a limited series based on the pair’s lives before their adventure in Beauty And The Beast.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, “The untitled limited series will be a six-episode musical event, with composer Alan Menken in talks to return as well. Sources say the project, which is currently in the early development stage, will take place well before the events of the film and also expand the Beauty and the Beast universe. No other stars from the film — like Emma Watson and Dan Stevens — are currently attached, though sources say there is a possibility that they could pop in for a guest spot.”

The site goes on to say that Once Upon a Time creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz and Josh Gad will serve as showrunners; as well as executive producers. Finally, the trio will also be writing all of the scripts. With this project still in early development, no production or release date has been announced.

We will update as we learn more.
