Luke Evans & Josh Gad to Star in 'Beauty & The Beast' Prequel Series for Disney+

Luke Evans and Josh Gad will be reprising their roles as Gaston and LeFou in a Beauty and the Beast prequel series that is currently being developed for the Disney+ streaming service.

Josh is billed as a co-creator, writer, and showrunner alongside Once Upon a Time creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz.

THR reports that the limited series will be a “six-episode musical event” and composer Alan Menken is in talks to write new music for the show. While no other cast members from the Beauty and the Beast live-action movie are confirmed to return, there’s the possibility that they could make guest appearances.

Josh was previously working with Eddy and Adam on the Muppets Live Another Day comedy series for Disney+, but that show got scrapped. This new idea was born from their time working on that show!
