'Beauty and the Beast' Prequel Series in the Works at Disney+ (Exclusive)

Stars Josh Gad and Luke Evans will reprise their roles from the 2017 feature for a limited series from 'Once Upon a Time' creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, with Gad also down as co-creator, writer and showrunner.
Gaston and LeFou are getting an origin story.

Streaming service Disney+ is teaming with Once Upon a Time creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz as well as stars Josh Gad and Luke Evans for a Beauty and the Beast prequel limited series to the 2017 feature film in which the latter pair starred.

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.

Kitsis and Horowitz will serve as showrunners alongside Gad. Evans, Gad as well as Kitsis and Horowitz will all exec produce. Gad, Kitsis and Horowitz will all write scripts. ABC Signature Studios is the studio on the series. (It's worth noting that Kitsis and Horowitz briefly explored Beauty and the Beast during their time running ABC's Disney-themed drama Once Upon a Time, with Robert Carlyle's Rumpelstiltskin playing the Beast, while Emilie de Ravin was Belle.)

Sources say the Beauty and the Beast prequel stemmed from Kitsis and Horowitz's time working with Gad on the scrapped Muppets Live Another Day comedy series that was in the works for months at Disney+. The trio created the comedy, which was to be an eight-episode limited series that took place after the events of Muppets Take Manhattan. Conversations about the untitled Beauty and the Beast prequel began shortly after the trio decided to depart Muppets.

Reps for Disney+ and ABC Studios declined comment.

Released in 2017, the live-action Beauty and the Beast feature grossed more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office. This is the latest Disney intellectual property to get the TV series treatment for Disney+, joining a growing slate of Marvel and Star Wars titles as well as Pixar's Monsters, Inc., High School Musical, the stalled Lizzie McGuire, The Sandlot, Turner & Hooch and The Mighty Ducks, among others.

For their part, Kitsis and Horowitz are running Apple anthology Amazing Stories, which debuts Friday on the TV+ platform. The duo have a sizable overall deal at ABC Studios.

Alan Menken Crafting Music for Disney+ Beauty and the Beast Prequel

Alan Menken has had a historic relationship with Disney for over 30 years now and after developing music for the original Beauty and the Beast with Howard Ashman and for the 2017 remake with Tim Rice, he has revealed in a Young Artists of America video that he will be returning to craft music for the upcoming Disney+ prequel series centered on Gaston and LeFou. Menken’s chat with the performing arts organization, in which he also reveals he is currently working on music for the long-awaited Disenchanted, can be viewed in the player below! (Via Slash Film)

The series, which is being penned by Once Upon a Time creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, will be a six-episode limited series musical event with composer Alan Menken also in talks to return to craft music for the series. The project is currently in early development, with no other stars currently attached, but sources are reporting that there is a possibility they could appear in guest spots.

Horowitz and Kitsis are going to partner with Gad to serve as showrunners on the series, with the trio writing all six scripts and executive producing alongside Evans, while ABC Signature Studios is funding the project. Sources are reporting that the concept for the prequel came from Gad, Kitsis and Horowitz working together on the scrapped Muppets Live Another Day, an eight-episode limited series for the streaming service that would take place after the events of Muppets Take Manhattan. Shortly after the three left the series, discussions of this new project reportedly began.

This prequel series will mark the second extension from a live-action Disney remake for the streaming service as a spin-off film focusing on Billy Magnussen’s Prince Anders from last year’s Aladdin is currently in development, while reboots of The Mighty Ducks and Turner and Hooch are also in development.

Dal forum DVDizzy:

Josh Gad posted on his Twitter and Instagram accounts a photo of live-action Gaston and LeFou with the caption "Things are brewing." Donny Osmond commented on it *shushing face emoji*, *winking face emoji*, and *grinning face emoji* which probably means he's involved with the project.


Josh Gad ha postato su Twitter e Instagram una foto di LeTont e Gaston in versione live action con la scritta "Le cose procedono". E Donny Osmond (voce americana di Shang nel film Mulan del 1998) commenta con una serie di emoji che fanno ritenere che probabilmente è coinvolto nel progetto.

Da Youtube, intervista a Kitsis e Horowitz, gli sceneggiatori (peccato che non hanno chiesto niente a proposito dell'altro progetto sulle fiabe, Epic)

Q: What can you tell us about working on that project?

Eddy Kitsis: Well, we can't say much just because it's just a pilot right now. There's nothing for sure about it like anything in Hollywood. But what we can tell you is we're doing a six-episode limited series that we're creating with Josh Gad and Luke Evans and Josh [Gad] will be reprising their roles as Gaston and LeFou. And we're very lucky to have Alan Menken come and do the music. So that's what we're doing during this quarantine right now. It's writing that. What happens.

[Daydreamer]

Esatto ma non avrebbero fatto diversamente altro di quanto fatto qui. Praticamente ripetere quel che si sapeva già e non riferire assolutamente niente di nuovo :/ .

[Daydreamer]

Secondo Skyler Shuler di Disinsider Emma Watson potrebbe girare un cameo nella serie televisiva.

[Fulvio84]

Ma a voi interessa?
Solo a me nom frega niente di prequel e sequel? Io non ho alcun interesse a sapere e vedere cosa c’era prima e dopo o scavare nell psiche dei cattivi.
A me piace la fiaba che finisce con l’happy ending senza troppi dettagli, lasciarli all’immaginazione e avere cattivi che sn cattivi e basta
🤷🏼‍♂️

[Daydreamer]

È proprio la mia incapacità di trovare un senso in questa serie che un po' mi incuriosisce. Un senso ce lo dovrà pure avere. Mi immagino un racconto alla Don Chisciotte ma mi domando, come si può parteggiare per una canaglia come Gaston? Non penso vogliano fare un prodotto alla Maleficent, con revisione e correzione del personaggio. Perché è proprio uno spin off e il personaggio è proprio lo stesso, con lo stesso attore. Mi auguro non sia il solito cedere al lato oscuro, sarebbe davvero noioso. Staremo a vedere che si inventeranno.

Multiple New Songs Written For Disney+ Gaston and LeFou Series
DISNEY+

Back in March, reports surfaced that Disney was working on a prequel series to its 2017 billion dollar live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast, that is centered on the villainous Gaston and his loyal companion LeFou played brilliantly by Luke Evans and Josh Gad.

A few weeks after the initial report, composer Alan Menken shared he was working on the series. Now, thanks to a tweet from Gad, we know multiple new songs have been written for the series.

This week I may or may not have heard a few new @AIMenken songs for something in the works, and I may or may not be quaking with excitement.

The untitled series for Disney+ is expected to be a six-episode musical. The series is still in the development stages but is expected to take place before the events of Beauty and the Beast and will expand upon the universe. Evans and Gad are the only actors from the film that are set to return. Still, Disney is expected to engage Emma Watson (Belle), Dan Stevens (Beast), Ewan McGregor (Lumiere), Ian McKellan (Cogsworth), and Emma Thompson (Mrs. Potts) for potential appearances.

Once Upon a Time creators, Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz are set to serve as showrunners and producers on the project alongside Gad. ABC Signature Studios is the studio on the series, which is currently working on the Mighty Duck series. Conversations about the untitled Beauty and the Beast prequel began shortly after the trio decided to depart Muppets series they were developing, Muppets Live Another Day.

The Gaston and LeFou series is Disney’s second live-action spinoff series in development for Disney+, with the studio also working on the Aladdin spinoff centered on Prince Anders, played by Billy Magnussen (Game Night).

Luke Evans Gives an Update on That ‘Gaston’ Disney+ Show and Reveals How It Was Created

Gaston is one of the wildest and funnest Disney characters of all time — until he becomes (always was?) a horrific villain. In the original animated Beauty and the Beast, his swaggering song of accomplishments (sung by Richard White) became an instant, braggadocious classic. And in the 2017 live-action remake, Luke Evans inhabited the role and song with both swagger and a sense of pointed vulnerability (alongside his trusty Le Fou, played by Josh Gad, of course). Evans did such a good job, his Gaston is getting his own Disney+ spinoff. And Evans flexed his muscles and gave us a tantalizing update.

As part of Evans’ full interview with our own Christina Radish to promote The Alienist: Angel of Darkness, Evans explained how the show came about in the first place:

“Josh and I, even when we were working on Beauty and the Beast, I recall, as two human beings, we liked each other a lot. We made each other laugh, we respected each other’s talent, and we had a great time. Even then, we were talking about what we could do and wanting to find another project. We’ve been searching, for the last several years, projects and scripts and ideas and concepts.



In the back of our minds, we definitely had thoughts about revisiting Gaston and LeFou in a different story, obviously. So, when the idea really came to fruition and we got on board some incredible writers, and Josh, especially, had an incredible idea that, once it was born, it just flew itself. And when we pitched the idea to Disney+, they were very excited about it.



Now, we’re in fully fledged development. The second and third episodes have been written and we’ve heard some of the music by Alan Menken. We’re just so honored to have him on board, writing the music, which is extraordinary, in itself. We feel so lucky to have this talented group of people creating a story about two much loved and much hated characters, but that’s the excitement. There are a lot of questions about, where we will start? What we will tell? Who are these people? When you visit them, where will they be? So, it’s going to be a really fun experience. Me and Josh are literally vibrating with excitement to shoot it.

Wow, wow, wow! First of all: Evans and Gad’s friendship sounds so pure I could scream. Second of all: Three episodes have been written, and they have Alan Menken songs. And third of all: “Literally vibrating with excitement”? Now so am I!

When pressed further, Evans simply could not spoil any forthcoming details, except for this: “No human being is one layer. There are many, many chapters to our lives, and they all inform the character and who we are. There’s a lot of intrigue, as to who these people might have been, and how they became who they were. But you’ll just have to wait to see. I’m not going to spoil it for you.” An interesting comment, given how one-dimensional someone could play Gaston. All will be revealed when the show eventually hits Disney+.

[Daydreamer]

Quindi sarà tipo un lento passaggio al lato oscuro di Gaston.

[Hiroe]

Mi aspettavo qualcosa del genere, ma ben venga.

Più che altro Gaston non era propriamente un "cattivo", all'inizio de La Bella e La bestia, era soltanto un uomo "tutto muscoli e niente cervello". In effetti il suo passaggio al lato oscuro viene esplicitato benissimo già nel corso del film del 1991: praticamente impazzisce di gelosia per Belle e decide di fare di tutto, ma veramente di tutto, per averla per sè. Un po' per orgoglio, un po' per vendetta, un po' per superbia.

[Daydreamer]

Sarà interessante capire come svilupperanno anche il personaggio di Le Tont, che nel film ha sviluppato un amore manifesto per Gaston. Ma molto semplicemente sarà una serie di tipo picaresco, tipo "Don Chisciotte e Sancho Panza".

A proposito, che aspettano a caricare Galavant su Disney+? Io penso anche a quelle atmosfere per questa serie.

[-kekkomon-]

Il titolo della serie sarà "Little Town".

[Hiroe]

In Italia come lo chiameranno? "Paesino"? :rofl:

[-kekkomon-]

In Italia come lo chiameranno? "Paesino"? :rofl:

"Tutto qui è un bel paesino"

[Logan232]

"Questo posto è provinciale".

[Daydreamer]

Ecco la notizia del titolo della serie tv, sono certo che da noi la titoleranno come i suoi protagonisti, ovvero "Gaston e Le Tont", dopotutto l'omaggio in Italia sarebbe capito solo dai fan, al pubblico generale risulterebbe banale e fuorviante.

Alan Menken Accidentally Reveals the Title of the Disney+ Gaston Show

In an interview with Variety following the Daytime Emmy win that officially turned him into an EGOT king, composer (and living legend) Alan Menken let slip the name of the new Disney+ live-action series that he’s working on with Luke Evans and Josh Gad that is set in the same universe as the $1 billion grossing Beauty and the Beast.

This new musical series, which hasn’t formally begun production, comes from Gad and co-creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, is described by Menken as “a new Beauty and the Beast prequel.” And it’s got an appropriately Beauty and the Beast-y title: Little Town. (Menken calls it The Little Town, but we’ve confirmed that it’s simply Little Town.)

Obviously, the title is a reference to the opening musical number in Beauty and the Beast, “Belle,” which begins:

Little town

It’s a quiet village

Every day

Like the one before

Little town

Full of little people

Waking up to say

While it’s unclear who is providing the lyrics to Menken’s musical score, it’s nice that the title of the show is a nod to Howard Ashman, Beauty and the Beast’s lyricist who sadly passed away from complications related to AIDS before the movie even debuted. Ashman’s story is brought to beautiful life next week with the Disney+ original documentary Howard, which has tons of great, sometimes heartbreaking anecdotes from the making of the original Beauty and the Beast animated classic.

Hopefully production on Little Town can begin once everything is back up and running again. We can’t wait to see what Menken (and Gad and Kitsis and Horowitz) are cooking up with this Gaston-and-LeFou-show. Gad and Evans’ portrayals of the famous Beauty and the Beast characters were an obvious highlight of the live-action remake.

La serie è ancora in lavorazione.

Dal sito DeadLine:

After starring as Gaston in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, he is attached to reprise his role and also executive produce a prequel series with Josh Gad that is in development at Disney+.

Descrizione della serie:

Starring Luke Evans and Josh Gad in the roles they made famous in the hit live action feature film, the music, romance, comedy and adventure of the Beauty and the Beast universe continues in this prequel that explores the kingdom in the years before the Beast and Belle’s epic romance. We will witness the destinies of many familiar characters take shape as they cross paths with new characters -- including an unconventional and modern take on the traditional “Disney Princess” – as they experience their own exciting epic adventures and romances, all set to an original soundtrack from Academy Award winning composer Alan Menken.

[Daydreamer]

Laddove parlano di "unconventional and modern take on the traditional “Disney Princess”" spero ci sia una palese storia d'amore "gaia" tra le vicende.

Logo alla presentazione della serie all'Investor Day:




E dal sito Entertainment Weekly:

Zut alors! Beauty and the Beast live-action prequel series officially coming to Disney+

Disney+ is ready for audiences to be their guest once again.

On Thursday during a presentation for investors, Disney confirmed that they are officially going to be bringing a Beauty and the Beast prequel to the streaming platform. The live-action series will reunite Josh Gad and Luke Evans in their roles as Lefou and Gaston from the 2017 live-action feature film adaptation of the Disney classic.

Continuing the legacy of the 1991 animated film, composer Alan Menken is also returning to write new music for the series.

The show, which was previously said to be early in development, will expand the world of Beauty and the Beast to tell tales of the misadventures of Lefou and Gaston prior to the events of the film. Once Upon a Time creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz are writing what has been described as a six-episode musical event.

Evans, Gad, Kitsis, and Horowitz will executive produce, while Gad, Kitsis, and Horowitz write the scripts.

In the 2017 feature film, Gad portrayed Lefou as a gay man, wrestling with his attraction to his crony Gaston and even offering up what director Bill Condon described as "an exclusively gay moment." It seems possible the series could explore that aspect of the character more, but further plot details are scarce.

The series joins a slate of Disney+ originals announced during the Thursday presentation.

[Daydreamer]

Almeno non l'ho pensato solo io, grazie veu dell'articolo.
Comunque visto che si cita la parola "Disney Princess" è probabile ci sarà anche un nuovo personaggio femminile al posto di Belle e quindi sarà interessante capire cosa si saranno inventati. Secondo me la storia è prevista in un altro paesino durante le campagne militari, di caccia o bricconate varie di Gaston e LeTont, oppure sempre a Villeneuve ma prima dell'arrivo di Maurice e Belle.
