Beauty and the Beast Prequel Show Star Gives Update After Filming Delay

screenrant.com:

Actor Fra Fee has given an update about Little Town, the delayed Beauty and the Beast prequel TV show. In 2017, tapping its vault of prized animated features, Disney released the live-action version of its treasured 1991 musical film Beauty and the Beast. Starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens, Beauty and the Beast proved to be a smash hit for the House of Mouse, earning $1.2 billion worldwide and becoming the highest-grossing musical of its time. With its success, Disney sought to cash in on the movie's continued popularity by announcing the Beauty and the Beast prequel show Little Town. The new project revolves around Luke Evans and Josh Gad's devilish duo, Gaston and LeFou, and it was commissioned for a release on Disney+.

Touted as a limited series, Little Town began to make significant headway in 2020. In March that year,  Gad, Eddy Kitsis, and Adam Horowitz were named showrunners, and the following month, original composer Alan Menken also confirmed that he would return to score the show. Brianna Middleton was subsequently cast as the female lead, with Jelani Alladin, Fra Fee, and Rita Ora later joining in important roles. However, only days after Ora's casting was announced, Disney delayed the Beauty and Beast prequel show indefinitely, citing creative challenges and scheduling conflicts with Gad and Evans. The show wasn't scrapped completely, and it was reported that there are plans to get the series off the ground sometime in the future.
