BEAUTY & THE BEAST: Official DVD Release of Season One
BEAUTY & THE BEAST – THE FIRST SEASON DVD will be released on October 1, it was announced last week during a Beauty & the Beast panel with cast and producers at San Diego Comic-Con International 2013.
“But Leslie,” you’re saying to yourself, “I already have all the episodes DVR’d. I’ve memorized every snarky one-liner by Tess, every retort by J.T. I know exactly when Catherine crinkles her nose as she gazes up fondly at Vincent. I anticipate every Vincent smolder, every moment of Gabe’s grim determination. Why would I need to purchase the DVDs?” So glad you asked! In addition to all 22 episodes of the first season, the six-disc DVD collection contains deleted scenes and never-before-seen featurettes including:
- Audio Commentary – Discover the thought process to the beginning of the hit series as Executive Producers Jennifer Levin and Sherri Cooper reflect on the pilot episode.
- Season in Review: The Beginning – Take a look back at the successful first season with all-new interviews from the cast and crew.
- Dressing the Beauty – From the costume department’s trailer, go inside Catherine “Cat” Chandler’s wardrobe as Costume Designer Catherine Ashton shares her process in styling television’s newest female icon.
- Creating the Beast – Explore the practical techniques used to transform Vincent Keller (Jay Ryan) from tortured doctor to vicious beast. Beginning with makeup and wardrobe, and then on set, this feature includes interviews with the talented creators, artists and Ryan himself about what it really takes to create the beast.
- GAG REEL! Yeah, bring it!

Is this worth watching? I love Dark Fairy Tales (and The Vampire Diaries) but I don’t have much time to commit to another show x
Please watch Beauty and the Beast ~ I watched the whole season 1 in 1 week ~ totally fell in love with Vincent and Catherine from the pilot ~ their chemistry is through the roof! I’m so invested in the epic romance of it all. You have to watch it to understand why this little show inspired such a loyal passionate devoted fanbase on twitter who fought tooth and claw to get this show renewed. Season 2 will see a much scarier Beast with some of the less engaging Season 1 plots and characters weeded out such as case of the week. Highly recommend.
That’s good enough for me. I’ll definitely put it on my lovefilm list! Your glowing review has got me quite excited about it now xx
I love Vampire Diaries, too!
I’ll be honest. I didn’t love B&TB at first. My reviews didn’t exactly try to hide that fact. But I’ve warmed up to the show. It’s got a great supporting cast (Austin Basis and Nina Lisandrello are hilarious), Jay Ryan’s character is ruggedly handsome but also disarmingly cute at the same time, and Kristin Kreuk is beautiful, without being someone you want to kick in the shins. I think it took the full first season to set up a fully arresting plot, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what the writers are able to do with it in season 2.
However, all that said, if you’re looking for a new show, and you only have room for one, in good conscience I have to recommend Being Human on SyFy over this one. Plot is a lot tighter, special effects much better executed, and I want to be able to hang out daily with both the actors on the show and their characters. Really, where do I sign up for that? Hit me up sometime and let me know which way you decided to go. Interested to see what you think.
