Reese Witherspoon Shares Update On Prime Video Prequel Series ‘Elle’

The casting for Prime Video's Legally Blonde prequel series, Elle, is currently underway — and Reese Witherspoon has a tough decision ahead of her.

Witherspoon said she was first inspired to explore the idea of a prequel series through viewing Netflix’s Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega as the macabre teen at boarding school: “I loved it, I watched every episode, I thought it was amazing.” “I just love them all so much and they’re doing such a good job,” she said, noting that the auditioning process has changed drastically from the casting office days to the remote format now, where prospective stars have to shoot, produce and costume their own video for consideration. Witherspoon also previewed the process to People, revealing that the project will commence principal photography in March and that her involvement in the casting is “kind of a trip.”
