Oh my god, you guys, Legally Blonde‘s heroine Elle Woods is headed back to our screens. Not in Legally Blonde 3 (although that’s been in the works for years), but in a new prequel TV series, titled Elle.
Created by Laura Kittrell and executive produced by Reese Witherspoon, Elle rewinds the clock to 1995, well before Elle set foot on Harvard’s campus. Before she began studying fashion merchandising in undergrad, even! Instead, Elle shows us who Elle (Lexi Minetree) was in high school. Spoiler alert: She’s just as bubbly as she is in college, and dressed in just as much pink to boot.
However, Elle’s high school life isn’t all California sunshine. Literally. In the show’s teaser, Elle’s mother (June Diane Raphael) and father (Tom Everett Scott) reveal that they’ll be moving to Seattle. That’s right: Elle Woods, the queen of pink, is heading to Seattle, the land of flannel, rain, and apparently, no blonde people.
The Seattle move sets the stage for another fish-out-of-water story for Elle. This time, instead of trying to fit in among snobby law students and old money types, she’ll have to contend with her grunge-loving peers. But if there’s one thing Elle Woods can do, it’s keep it positive and make the most of a tricky situation. What, like it’s hard?
Elle premieres July 1 on Prime Video.
