Disney plus beauty and the beast prequel series is in development

Exciting news for Disney+ subscribers!

According to various reports, a prequel series to the beloved Disney classic "Beauty and the Beast" is in development for Disney+. The show is expected to explore the backstory of the iconic characters, particularly Belle and the Beast, before the events of the original film.

The prequel series is being produced by Gary Marsh, the former president and chief creative officer of Disney Channels Worldwide, and is said to be a live-action series. No further details have been revealed about the plot, characters, or casting, but fans of the original film are likely to be thrilled at the prospect of delving deeper into the world of Belle and the Beast.

It's worth noting that this prequel series is separate from the 2017 live-action remake of "Beauty and the Beast," which starred Emma Watson and Dan Stevens. While that film was a commercial success, it received mixed reviews from critics and fans, with some feeling that it didn't quite live up to the magic of the original animated classic.

The Disney+ prequel series, on the other hand, offers a fresh opportunity to reimagine the beloved characters and story in a new and exciting way. With the success of Disney+'s other live-action series, such as "The Mandalorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett," fans are eagerly anticipating what this new series will bring to the table.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development, and get ready to return to the enchanted world of Belle and the Beast!
