Get ready for more Legally Blonde!
In addition to Legally Blonde 3, there are new reports that Reese Witherspoon is working on a Legally Blonde TV show for Prime Video. Per Deadline, "Witherspoon and her Hello Sunshine company are behind Legally Blonde spinoff TV series inspired by the popular film franchise that are in development at Amazon MGM Studios." The untitled spin-off series is being written by Gossip Girl executive producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, and produced by the duo, along with Witherspoon, Hello Sunshine's Lauren Neustadter, and Marc Platt. It would air on Prime Video.
The original Legally Blonde premiered in 2001, starring Witherspoon as Harvard Law student Elle Woods who initially enrolls in law school to get her ex-boyfriend, Warner Huntington III (Matthew Davis), back. The film also starred Luke Wilson, Selma Blair, Victor Garber, Jennifer Coolidge, Holland Taylor, and Ali Larter. The sequel, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, premiered in 2003, and there was a direct-to-DVD spin-off, Legally Blondes, that debuted in 2009. In addition, Legally Blonde was adapted for the stage, opening on Broadway in 2007.
There are no further details on the Legally Blonde TV show, or if Witherspoon would reprise her role as Elle Woods in the series. Back in 2019, Witherspoon said she'd love to revisit Elle, saying, "I want to discover what age means to that character. Aging, contemporary ideas, how things have evolved — or not evolved." It's also unclear if the TV show is related to the third Legally Blonde film, which Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor are attached to write.
We'll update this as soon as we learn more about the Legally Blonde TV show.
