Beauty and the Beast 2: Legacy of the Rose (2026)
Emma Watson, Dan Stevens, Luke Evans
Magic does not fade. It evolves — and sometimes, it returns with a vengeance.
Years after the last petal fell and the castle’s curse was broken, Belle (Emma Watson) and Prince Adam (Dan Stevens) are guiding the kingdom into a new era of light, unity, and learning. Belle has transformed the castle into a center of knowledge, welcoming scholars, inventors, and travelers. Adam, eager to atone for the past, works tirelessly to rebuild trust with his people.
But beneath the restored walls lies a deeper magic — older, darker, and far more dangerous than the enchantress who transformed him long ago.
Strange things begin to stir across the kingdom:
Roses that once bloomed in winter now wither in a single night.
Shadows move where no light should fall.
Whispers echo through the castle halls in a language no one remembers.
One stormy evening, a mysterious traveler arrives, cloaked in frost and fear. He brings a warning that chills Adam to his core:
The Thorn Queen has awakened.
A sorceress from an age forgotten, she was the first to wield the power of the enchanted rose — and the one who created the ancient curse meant for Adam. When the enchantress of the original tale intervened, sealing away the Thorn Queen’s magic, she vowed revenge.
Now freed from her slumber, she seeks the one man who escaped her grasp…
and she plans to finish the curse she began.
As Adam struggles with visions of the Beast he once was, the Thorn Queen begins twisting the magic that once bound him, threatening to drag him back into a form he fears more than death. The return of Gaston’s dark legacy also haunts the kingdom, as rumors of a fanatical group worshipping his memory rise in the countryside.
Belle stands at the heart of it all — no longer a prisoner, no longer an outsider, but a protector of her home and the man she loves. To save Adam, she must unravel the forgotten origins of the enchanted rose, forge alliances with magical beings long hidden from the world, and confront the ancient truth:
Love may have broken the curse once…
but only courage can prevent it from returning.
As the Thorn Queen’s power spreads and the castle transforms once more into a labyrinth of living thorns, Belle and Adam must face the darkest parts of themselves — the fears, the doubts, and the shadows left behind by the past.
Their journey leads to a breathtaking final revelation:
the rose was never just a symbol of love…
but a gateway to magic older than the kingdom itself.
With sweeping romance, haunting enchantments, and the timeless beauty of a fairy tale reborn,
Beauty and the Beast 2: Legacy of the Rose (2026) proves that true love’s greatest test doesn’t come after “happily ever after” —
it begins where the last story ends.
