On June 15, The Hollywood Reporter shared that Disney had ordered a prequel series centering on the duo portrayed by Luke Evans and Josh Gad in the film. "For anyone who's ever wondered how a brute like Gaston and a goof like LeFou could have ever become friends and partners, or how a mystical enchantress came to cast that fateful spell on the prince-turned-beast, this series will finally provide those answers . . . and provoke a whole new set of questions," Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer of Disney Branded Television, said in a press release. "We can't wait to welcome our guests back to the magical and musical world of Beauty and the Beast for an all-new chapter with LeFou, Gaston, and a fantastic new cast of characters," added Disney+ president Michael Paull. In addition to series star Gad, Once Upon a Time's Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz will serve as co-showrunners and writers.
