Josh Gad Says Fans Should "Expect the Unexpected" in the 'Beauty and the Beast' Prequel Disney+ Series

Josh Gad Says Fans Should “Expect the Unexpected” in the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ Prequel Disney+ Series. during a recent interview with the “Just for Variety” podcast, Executive Producer and series star Josh Gad revealed that the Beauty and the Beast prequel will feature some unexpected twists and turn and take a deeper dive into the backstories of known characters such as LeFou and Gaston, but will take a surprisingly deep look at new characters as well!

Just for Variety asked Josh if the series would explore LeFou’s coming out story after the tease at the end of Beauty and the Beast, to which Gad replied: “You’re going to have to tune in when this show airs to see what we’re working up, but in the process of working on it, we’re asking ourselves every relevant question about these characters and endeavoring to do right by them and by this world. I think that we have origin stories here that are unbelievably exciting because they’re unexpected. And I think ‘expect the unexpected’ is all I can really say. And not just with regard to LeFou and Gaston but to a lot of the new characters that we’re introducing.”

“Beauty and the Beast” is executive produced by Gad, Kitsis, Horowitz, Menken and Tommy and produced by Evans. Gad, Kitsis and Horowitz are co-showrunners and writers for the limited series. The soundtrack will be released by Walt Disney Records. Be sure to check back here at Chip and Co. for updates and all things Disney+!
