‘Tell Me A Story’ Season 2 Trailer Puts a Dark Twist on the Princesses of ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘Cinderella’ and ‘Sleeping Beauty’ (Video)
A new season of “Tell Me A Story” is creeping upon us.
The trailer for Season 2 was released at New York Comic-Con Thursday, and it puts a dark twist on the three princesses of “Sleeping Beauty,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Cinderella.”
Premiering Dec. 5 on CBS All Access, the new 10-episode season features Natalie Alyn Lind (“The Gifted,” “The Goldbergs”) as pop star Ashley Rose Pruitt in a reimagined version of “Beauty and the Beast.” Her career goes to pieces after a fiery explosion burns half of her face — which she then covers up with a mask, “Phantom of the Opera”-style. Watch the trailer above.
Paul Wesley (“The Vampire Diaries”) is returning for Season 2, this time starring as Tucker Reed, a struggling writer with insomnia and a creepy habit of watching people sleep in a revamped version of “Sleeping Beauty.”
