The report says that the show was due to start filming in spring, but the plan was shifted instead to film in Europe this summer for the good weather. According to sources, some creative aspects of the series were not ready for that time frame, and scheduling issues arose as some cast members had other commitments for August. In light of the timing difficulties, Disney put the show on hold, opting against a f🃏urther 🅷delay due to the UK's bad weather, which wouldn't fit the musical's tone. 

The prequel series would see the return of Evans as Gaston and Josh Gad as LeFou, with Briana Middleton joining the franchise as LeFou's stepsister Tilly.
