Disney+ Pushes Back Production for the Live-Action 'Beauty and the Beast' Series

Though most delays in recent months for filming have been due to scheduling conflicts, additional casting, injury, or COVID cases among cast and crew, luckily the production pushback for the highly anticipated ‘Beauty and the Beast’ prequel series is for all the right reasons.

Disney+ was set to begin filming for the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ series in Europe this Spring, but now filming has been delayed until Summer 2022 due to weather conditions and creative elements that were not prepared for the original start date. In exciting news, Disney also announced that Rita Ora has joined the cast for the series adding more musical talent to the project.

“Set in the iconic kingdom of “Beauty and the Beast” years before Beast and Belle’s epic romance, the prequel series will follow Gaston and LeFou as they set off with LeFou’s stepsister, Tilly, after a surprising revelation from her past comes to light, sending the unlikely trio off on an unexpected journey filled with romance, comedy and adventure. While the mysteries of the past are uncovered and the dangers of the present grow, old friends and new enemies reveal that this familiar kingdom harbors many secrets. Acclaimed singer-songwriter Rita Ora joins the previously announced cast that includes Josh Gad, Luke Evans, Briana Middleton, Fra Fee and Jelani Alladin. Ora will star as a fugitive with surprising abilities who carries with her a secret that could potentially affect an entire kingdom.“
