Reese Witherspoon is bringing a Legally Blonde<\/em> series to Amazon\u2019s Prime Video.<\/p>\n

What, like it\u2019s hard?<\/p>\n

Amazon MGM Studios head Jennifer Salke, Witherspoon \u2014 and Bruiser the dog \u2014\u00a0 announced a series order for the show Tuesday at Amazon\u2019s first-ever upfront presentation. The show, titled Elle<\/em>, will tell the origin story of Elle Woods as a 1990s high schooler. It has been in the works since early April. Witherspoon will executive produce via her Hello Sunshine banner along with series creator and showrunner Laura Kittrell (Insecure<\/em>, Amazon Freevee\u2019s High School<\/em>), Hello Sunshine\u2019s Lauren Neustadter and Lauren Kisilevsky, and Marc Platt, producer of the Legally Blonde<\/em> films.<\/p>\n

The logline for the series reads, \u201cElle<\/em>\u00a0follows 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<\/em> film.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI truly couldn\u2019t be more excited about this series!\u201d Witherspoon said in a statement. \u201cFans will get to know how Elle Woods navigated her world as a teenager with her distinct personality and ingenuity, in ways that only our beloved Elle could do. What could be better than that? I\u2019m extremely grateful to the incredible teams at Prime Video and Hello Sunshine \u2014 along with our amazing writer Laura Kittrell \u2014 for making this dream of mine come true.\u00a0Legally Blonde<\/em>\u00a0is back!\u201d<\/p>\n

Elle continues Hello Sunshine\u2019s working relationship with Prime Video; the company, owned by Candle Media, previously produced Daisy Jones and the Six<\/em> and the feature film Something From Tiffany\u2019s<\/em> for the streamer.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the most quotable, iconic, and beloved characters that is ingrained in the fabric of Hollywood history has to be Elle Woods, and we are honored to bring her origin story to our global Prime Video customers,\u201d said Vernon Sanders, head of television for Amazon MGM Studios. \u201cReese and Hello Sunshine\u2019s vision for this series, coupled with Laura Kittrell\u2019s winning voice, made this show completely undeniable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hello Sunshine and Amazon MGM Studios will produce Elle<\/em> (MGM also produced the films). There\u2019s no word yet on casting for the teenage version of the character.<\/p>\n

Hello Sunshine is repped by CAA and Hansen Jacobson. Kittrell is with UTA and Mosaic.<\/p>\n
