THE CW NETWORK SETS NEW "BEAUTY AND THE BEAST" SEASON 3 PREMIERE DATE FOR THURSDAY, JUNE 11

May 1, 2015 (Burbank, California) - The CW Network has moved the premiere date for season 3 of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST to Thursday, June 11 (8:00-9:00pm). Originally, the new season was slated to premiere on May 21.

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.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Take 5 Productions/Whizbang Films with executive producers Brad Kern ("Charmed"), Bill Haber ("Rizzoli & Isles," "Thurgood"), Paul J. Witt ("A Better Life") & Tony Thomas ("A Better Life"), Ron Koslow ("Moonlight"), Frank Siracusa ("The Yard") and John Weber ("The Borgias"), with Sherri Cooper ("Brothers and Sisters") & Jennifer Levin ("Without A Trace," "Felicity") as consultants.
