Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
A reboot of the 1988 crime fantasy series Beauty and the Beast is set to make its way to the small-screen.
The CW network is in the process of developing its own rendition of the show starring Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan.
The show will be loosely inspired by the original series but will have some modern influences.
Kreuk will star as a New York homicide detective named Catherine who becomes close to Vincent, a military veteran who was turned into a beast in a failed experiment.
Vincent acts as Catherine’s slightly protective guardian angel from his underground lair and avenges her mother’s death by killing the man who murdered her nine years earlier. CBS ran the original 1980s series for three seasons before it ended in 1990.
Beauty and the Beast will air later this year in the US.
