Jelani Alladin To Join Luke Evans & Josh Gad In Beauty & The Beast Prequel Series
Jelani Alladin is set to join the cast of Beauty and the Beast prequel series coming to Disney+. The actor is set to join Luke Evans and Josh Gad in this new creation based on the live-action version of the hit Disney story.
“Set in the iconic kingdom of Beauty and the Beast years before the Beast and Belle’s epic romance, the series will follow Gaston (Evans) and LeFou (Gad) as they set off with LeFou’s step-sister, Tilly (Middleton), after a surprising revelation from her past comes to light, sending the unlikely trio 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.”
Deadline reports that “Alladin will play Jean-Michel. Charming. Cool. A talented artist who has a quick wit, a sharp intellect, and a fierce independent streak.”
I am so excited to see him in this series!
