Former Smallville star Kristin Kreuk returns to the CW network with a new iteration on the Beauty and the Beast fairytale. This time it’s a modern day setting with the characters given a total overhaul – only the themes are recognizable. That said the extended trailer is quite compelling and it’s good to see the talented Kreuk back on screens, so this should be a new series worth checking out.
Here’s the synopsis:
After witnessing the murder of her mother at the hands of two gunmen, Catherine Chandler grows up to become a smart tough-as-nails homicide detective. What drives Catherine is the fact that on the night her mother was killed she was saved by someone… or something. Officially documented as an animal attack, no one believes Catherine when she tells them it’s not that simple. While investigating a murder, Catherine is led to a doctor named Vincent Keller, who was reportedly killed years ago in Afghanistan. Discovering Vincent alive is not the only secret Catherine must keep: when enraged, he becomes a savage beast, with no control over his strength. Bonding together, the two work together to not only protect the streets but to solve the case of Catherine’s mother’s murder.
Beauty and the Beast will air Thursday nights @9pm on The CW.
