Beauty and the Beast won the People's Choice Award 2014 for Favorite Sci-fi/Fantasy TV-show over such well established shows as Supernatural, The Walking Dead and The Vampire Diaries. The show remains a huge fan favorite despite harsh reviews from the critics when the show first aired.

Jay Ryan had a great deal of input on the Beast's look and fighting style. It turns out that a lot of the Beast's characteristics were developed by Vincent himself. Thanks to spending upwards of four hours at a time in the makeup chair to apply the Beast's makeup and prosthetics (plus another hour and a half to take it all off!), Ryan had strong feelings about the way Vincent and the Beast should appear onscreen.

The show has a huge following on Twitter where the fans call themselves #beasties.

The show is supposed to take place in New York, and yet numerous street and road signs reveal that it is not New York, but give away the filming location of Canada.
