Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan strike a pose in a still for their upcoming show, Beauty and the Beast!

The 29-year-old actress and her 30-year-old co-star play the title roles in the show.

Here’s a synopsis: Detective Catherine Chandler (Kreuk) witnessed the murder of her mother at the hands of two gunmen and would have been killed too, but someone – or something – saved her. Catherine discovers a clue that leads her to a handsome doctor named Vincent Keller (Ryan), who was reportedly killed by enemy fire while serving in Afghanistan in 2002. Catherine learns that Vincent is actually still alive and that it was he who saved her many years before. Vincent has been in hiding for the past 10 years to guard his secret – when he is enraged, he becomes a terrifying beast, unable to control his super-strength and heightened senses. Catherine agrees to protect his identity in return for any insight he may have into her mother’s murder.

Beauty and the Beast premieres October 11 at 9/8c on The CW – don’t miss it!
