“Before she became the most famous Gemini vegetarian to graduate from Harvard Law, she was just a regular ‘90s high school girl,” she wrote in the caption. “And all of you are going to get to know her, next year on @primevideo. I’M SO EXCITED!”
Honestly Reese, so are we!
What will Legally Blonde prequel series Elle be about?
The synopsis for the TV series reads: “Elle follows Elle Woods 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.”
A further summary for Elle gave us a bit more info about what to expect from the prequel story. “A driven, natural born leader who will always stop to straighten another woman’s crown, Elle’s magnetic personality brightens the world with confidence, vulnerability, and an earnestness that charms everyone around her.
“Coming of age in the ’90s, Elle will encounter her first love and her first heartbreak, and she will find her moral convictions.”
Reese even opened up Netflix’s Wednesday inspiring her prequel idea. “I saw that Wednesday Addams show, I loved it, I watched every single episode,” she said during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “I was like, ‘We should do Elle Woods in high school!’ Because I wanted to see who she was before college, before law school, and I started having all these ideas.”
Elle release date
Elle will premiere exclusively on Prime Video at some point in 2025, with filming beginning in March 2025, according to People.
And this prequel series isn’t the only thing we have to be excited about — a third film starring Witherspoon and Jennifer Coolidge is also in the works.
“Oh, it’s gonna be so fun!” Witherspoon previously said of the project. “I got to go to a meeting the other day where we talked about all the new plot points and all the characters and some returning characters and some new characters. I mean, I got so excited just in the meeting. I was like, ‘This is gonna be good.’”
Could 2025 be the year of Elle Woods? It certainly seems that way — so don’t put away your Barbiecore pink just yet.
