Newcomer Briana Middleton will play Tilly, LeFou’s stepsister, and Fra Fee will play Prince Benoit Berlioz. It has an eight-episode order and is developed, executive produced, and written by Gad, Edward Kitsis, and Adam Horrowitz. Evans will also executive produce. Liesl Tommy will executive produce and direct the first episode. It will feature an original soundtrack from Alan Menken.
