Brace yourselves, Beasties. The Season 3 premiere of Beauty and the Beast is on the move.
The CW announced on Friday that the 13-episode season, whose premiere was originally set for Thursday, May 21, has been pushed back and will now return on June 11 at 8pm.
Following The Vampire Diaries Season Finale on the May 14, encores of iZombie will take over its time slot for three weekly installments followed by the beastly premiere the week after.
If the season runs for thirteen uninterrupted weeks, its finale will fall on September 3, a few short weeks from the usual start of The CW’s fall season.
As season three begins, Cat (Kristin Kreuk) and Vincent (Jay Ryan) are able to focus on their love, finally free from Muirfield, manhunts and beasts. However, that love will be tested as new and more dangerous threats await. When they learn that innocent victims are being used to test the boundaries of the impossible, Cat and Vincent will uncover a deeper conspiracy, one which Vincent can fight only by turning to the beast he carries within. But unleashing the beast will risk Vincent’s life – along with his and Cat’s love – as they struggle to build a normal life together.
In addition to the third season, The CW also renewed the series for a fourth and is set to begin production this month in Toronto.
