OTT platform Disney Plus has greenlit a new musical series that will serve as a prequel to the 2017 live-action movie version of 'Beauty and the Beast', which starred Emma Watson as the titular beauty and Dan Stevens as the beast.

According reports, neither of those stars will be in the prequel series, however, as it focuses on Gaston, LeFou/Louie and a new character in the form of Louie’s stepsister Tilly. The show also comes complete with a new soundtrack by legendary Disney composer Alan Menken.
