Prime Video has announced that Elle, the prequel series to the Legally Blonde franchise, will premiere on July 1. The streamer has also confirmed that the show has been renewed for a second season, with production scheduled to begin in the spring. The series is set during Elle Woods’ high school years and explores the experiences that shaped her personality and ambitions before the events of the 2001 film. According to the official description, Elle “follows Elle Woods (Lexi Minetree) in high school as we learn about the life experiences that shaped her into the iconic young woman we came to know and love in the first Legally Blonde film.”
Reese Witherspoon, who played Elle Woods in the original films and serves as an executive producer on the series, said the project offers a meaningful extension of the franchise. “Twenty-five years after the world met Elle Woods for the first time, it’s a dream come true to share the story of how she became the unstoppable force we all fell in love with,” Witherspoon said. She also praised lead actor Lexi Minetree, adding, “Discovering Lexi Minetree and watching her step into Elle’s fabulous shoes has been one of the most gratifying experiences of my career.”
