The pink-tinted world of Harvard Law is officially expanding, and itās time to trade in your law degree for a high school diploma. While weāve spent years quoting every line of the original film, Amazon Prime Video is finally taking us back to where the sparkle began with the upcoming prequel series, Elle.
Everything We Know About the Legally Blonde Prequel
If you have been keeping up with your streaming news, you know that the “Legally Blonde” cinematic universe is having a major moment. The new series, aptly titled Elle, is set to dive into the origin story of our favorite Gemini vegetarian. According to the first promotional teaser, the show is a Prime Original and is officially part of the Legally Blonde world.
The Premiere Date and Where to Watch
Clear your schedule and stock up on pink stationery because the wait is almost over. The series is set to drop its first season on July 1. You will be able to stream the entire season exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Unlike the Broadway musical or the original sequels, this series is focusing on the formative years that shaped Elle Woods into the powerhouse we met in 2001.
The Plot: High School, Hair Spray, and History
While plot details are being kept under a chic lock and key, the imagery suggests a heavy focus on Elleās academic roots. The teaser features a stack of textbooks topped with a very familiar face: Bruiser the Chihuahua. This confirms that Elleās iconic sidekick has been by her side since the very beginning. We can expect a healthy dose of 90s or early 2000s nostalgia as we follow a younger Elle navigating the social hierarchies of high school before she ever set foot on a college campus.
Production and Creative Team
The show is being produced under the Amazon MGM Studios banner. Through her production company, Hello Sunshine, Reese Witherspoon, the woman who initiated it all, heavily participates in the production. This involvement ensures that the “bend and snap” spirit remains intact even as we move backward in time.
