“Legally Blonde” will get the prequel treatment.
Prime Video has ordered a new series from “Legally Blonde” star Reese Witherspoon that will follow her character Elle Woods as a high school student in the ’90s, spotlighting the experiences that formed her into the college student fans met in the first “Legally Blonde” movie.
“I had this crazy idea that the world might want to know the origin story of Elle Woods, so here I am to officially tell you the most amazing news ever, which is that we are going back to high school with Elle,” Witherspoon told advertisers during Amazon’s inaugural upfront presentation on Tuesday.
