Disney+ is teaming with Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the creators of “Once Upon a Time” as well as stars Josh Gad and Luke Evans for a “Beauty and the Beast” prequel series to the 2017 feature film in which the latter pair starred.
The untitled limited series will be a six-episode musical event that will feature music from composer Alan Menken, who is in talks to return as well.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, sources claim the project will take place well before the events of the film and also expand Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” universe. No other stars from the movie are attached to the project yet, though sources say there is a possibility that stars like Emma Watson and Dan Stevens could pop in for a guest spot.
