Reese Witherspoon Developing 'Legally Blonde' Prequel Series 'Elle'

Prime Video announced on Tuesday that it has ordered 'Elle,' a prequel series from Witherspoon's production company.

I'm extremely grateful to the incredible teams at Prime Video and Hello Sunshine – along with our amazing writer Laura Kittrell – for making this dream of mine come true. Deadline was first to report that Witherspoon, along with Gossip Girl executive producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, are looking to keep the franchise going on TV and/or streaming, though details of the project are being kept under wraps for now. She also told ET in April 2022 that she and the Legally Blonde 3 creative team were taking their time writing, adamant about doing justice to the legacy of the beloved franchise.
