Perhaps inspired by the success of their new hit fantasy show Once Upon A Time, ABC has now ordered a Beauty and the Beast pilot show.
The CW ordered a Beauty and the Beast show last week. So yes, you now have two new Beauty and the Beast shows to look forward to.
From The Live Feed:
The female-skewing network is moving forward with its reimagining of the classic fairy tale set in a mythical, dangerous world where a beautiful and tough princess discovers an unlikely connection with a mysterious beast.
Human Target scribe Jonathan E. Steinberg (Jericho) will pen the project with Gary Fleder (Life Unexpected) and Mary Beth Basile (October Road) attached to executive produce the ABC Studios project through their Mojo Films shingle.
This reminds us of the drama over Snow White right now – two films by two studios about the same subject (Snow White and the Huntsman from Universal and Mirror Mirror by Relativity Media, both of which we cover).
While you anxiously (?) await these new shows, don’t forget Disney’s Beauty and the Beast 3D is now in theaters.
