President and chief creative officer at Disney Branded Television, Gary Marsh, spoke about the upcoming feature set to begin production in spring 2022.
He explained: "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."
