Amazon MGM Studios and Hello Sunshine’s Elle prequel series to the Reese Witherspoon-starring "Legally Blonde" films will premiere July 1, 2026, and the series has been renewed for a Season 2.

Season 1, which will stream on Prime Video, follows Elle Woods’ high school journey with viewers watching her go through life moments that make her the Harvard Law School student in the films.



“Twenty-five years after the world met Elle Woods for the first time, it’s a dream come true to share the story of how she became the unstoppable force we all fell in love with,” said Reese Witherspoon.

“Discovering Lexi Minetree and watching her step into Elle’s fabulous shoes has been one of the most gratifying experiences of my career. I think our series’ themes of kindness, authenticity, and believing in yourself will resonate deeply with fans of the original films and new audiences alike.

Working with our incredible Hello Sunshine team, Amazon and our visionary writers and directors to bring Elle’s high school journey to life has been a tremendous joy. I can’t wait to share Season One with the world and start rolling cameras on Season Two!”
