Reese Witherspoon And Amazon Prime Are Working On A "Legally Blonde" TV Series
Exciting news for fans of the iconic "Legally Blonde" franchise: Amazon Prime Video is set to bring Elle Woods and her world to the small screen. While plot details are still under wraps, the project has already garnered attention with its powerhouse team of executive producers, including Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, the duo behind "Gossip Girl."
Reese Witherspoon, 48, who famously portrayed the pink-clad, Harvard-bound Elle Woods in the original films, will also executive produce through her production company Hello Sunshine. Schwartz and Savage are known for their work on acclaimed series like "Gossip Girl" and "The OC," and will also be writing for the new series.
For those unfamiliar with the franchise, the first "Legally Blonde" film hit theaters in 2001, introducing audiences to Elle Woods, a fashion-forward sorority girl who enrolls in Harvard Law School to win back her ex-boyfriend. Along the way, she discovers her true passion for the law and proves that she's more than just a pretty face.
The original film was a box office smash, grossing over $140 million worldwide, and spawned a sequel, "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White, and Blonde," in 2003. Though Witherspoon didn't star in the third installment, released direct-to-video in 2009, she remained involved as a producer. The franchise also expanded to the stage with a successful Broadway musical adaptation in 2007.
With the creative talents of Schwartz and Savage at the helm, fans can expect a fresh take on the "Legally Blonde" universe, blending humor and heart. As details continue to emerge about the upcoming series, anticipation is sure to build among fans eager to revisit Elle Woods.
