Luke Evans discusses Disney+’s Gaston and LeFou series

July 15, 2020 by Gary Collinson


Back in March it was announced that Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast movie is to receive a spinoff series revolving around the characters of Gaston and LeFou, with Luke Evans and Josh Gad reprising their roles for the Disney+ show.

Now, speaking to Collider to promote the premiere of his new series The Alienist: Angel of Darkness [read our review here], Evans has explained how the spinoff project came about and where they are in terms of progress:

“Josh and I, even when we were working on Beauty and the Beast, I recall, as two human beings, we liked each other a lot. We made each other laugh, we respected each other’s talent, and we had a great time. Even then, we were talking about what we could do and wanting to find another project. We’ve been searching, for the last several years, projects and scripts and ideas and concepts.

“In the back of our minds, we definitely had thoughts about revisiting Gaston and LeFou in a different story, obviously. So, when the idea really came to fruition and we got on board some incredible writers, and Josh, especially, had an incredible idea that, once it was born, it just flew itself. And when we pitched the idea to Disney+, they were very excited about it.

“Now, we’re in fully fledged development. The second and third episodes have been written and we’ve heard some of the music by Alan Menken. We’re just so honored to have him on board, writing the music, which is extraordinary, in itself. We feel so lucky to have this talented group of people creating a story about two much loved and much hated characters, but that’s the excitement. There are a lot of questions about, where we will start? What we will tell? Who are these people? When you visit them, where will they be? So, it’s going to be a really fun experience. Me and Josh are literally vibrating with excitement to shoot it.”
