THR is reporting that writer/producer Jonathan E. Steinberg of Jericho and Human Target fame is developing a new hourlong drama based on Beauty and the Beast for ABC.
Since there are so many different takes on the subject, how will it be done and what will it be based on? The classic story? The TV series? The animated film? Henry McCoy and Dazzler? Can Angela Lansbury sing the theme song? Those questions will inevitably be answered in time. Gary Fleder and Mary Beth Basile are attached as executive producers.
ABC is already visiting classic stories with their upcoming series Once Upon A Time.
