  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nGet ready to bend and snap like never before, because not only is Reese Witherspoon bringing us _Legally Blonde 3_ , but a _Legally Blonde_ TV show is also coming to Prime Video! The new TV show will serve as a spinoff of The Morning Show star's franchise from the early 2000s (plus _Legally Blondes_ — IYKYK). Keep reading for all the important info that'll make you want to use legal jargon in everyday life ;).\n\n* * *\n\n## Here's everything you need to know about the _Legally Blonde_ prequel series _Elle_ , coming to Prime Video in the summer of 2026.\n\n### Where can I watch the Legally Blonde prequel show?\n\n\n\n\nPrime Video confirmed _Elle_ will stream in July 2026 during a brand new preview that launched on April 30. Until then, you can stream _Legally Blonde_ , _Legally Blonde 2_ , and _Legally Blondes_ on YouTube as many times as you want.\n\n### Who's in Prime Video's Elle cast?\n\n\n\n\nElle Woods will be played by Lexi Minetree, and she's _perfect_. The rest of the _Elle_ cast includes:\n\n  * **Lexi Minetree** as _Elle Woods_\n  * **June Diane Raphael** as Eva: _Elle’s mom_\n  * **Tom Everett Scott** as Wyatt: _Elle’s dad_\n  * **Gabrielle Policano** as _Liz_\n  * **Jacob Moskovitz** as _Miles_\n  * **Chandler Kinney** as _Kimberly_\n  * **Zac Looker** as _Dustin_\n  * **Logan Shroyer** as _Josh_\n  * **Amy Pietz**\n  * **Jessica Belkin**\n  * **Lisa Yamada**\n  * **Chloe Wepper**\n  * **David Burtka**\n  * **Brad Harder**\n  * **Kayla Maisonet**\n\n\n\n### What has Reese Witherspoon said about Lexi Minetree?\n\n\n\n\n\"I'm so thrilled to introduce Lexi Minetree as Elle Woods,\" Reese said in an Instagram post. \"She is stepping into these pink shoes with so much grace, ambition and charm.\"\n\nOn September 25, Reese Witherspoon revealed Prime Video would have an open casting call for the _Legally Blonde_ TV show. That means anyone could audition with a very-pink online form. \"Our search for the high school version of Elle Woods is officially ON! 💖✨\" Reese said on Instagram. \"With our friends @primevideo we’re making the casting process totally OPEN, so you can submit your auditions at the link in my bio… I’m SO excited to see all your fabulous takes on everyone’s favorite Gemini vegetarian! 💕👛🌟🎀\"\n\n### Is there a Legally Blonde TV show?\n\n\n\n\nYes, a _Legally Blonde_ TV show is coming to Prime Video! The official logline promises it \"follows 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_ film.\"\n\nReese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine is behind the series. Nobody knows _Legally Blonde_ as well as Reese, so if she has any kind of creative input, I know it's going to be a TV show worth watching!\n\n### Will Reese Witherspoon be in the Legally Blonde TV show?\n\n\n\n\nConsidering the series is a prequel, we probably won't see Reese Witherspoon back as Elle. However, I'd love for her to make a cameo! (Or Reese Witherspoon's daughter Ava Phillippe!) Either way, it looks like Reese will still be involved in the production of the show.\n\n“I truly couldn’t be more excited about this series! Fans 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?!” Reese says in a statement to _Variety_. “ _Legally Blonde_ is back!”\n\n### Who's working on Reese Witherspoon's Legally Blonde TV show?\n\n\n\n\nThe new _Legally Blonde_ TV show will reportedly be written by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, who developed and executive produced _Gossip Girl_. _Legally Blonde_ producer Marc Platt will also work on the series alongside Hello Sunshine's Lauren Neustadter. Creator Laura Kittrell will be showrunner and executive producer.\n\n### How old was Reese Witherspoon when she shot Legally Blonde?\n\n\n\n\nReese Witherspoon was around 24 or 25 years old when she shot the first _Legally Blonde_ movie. Aside from the fact that Reese embodies Elle Woods better than anyone, her age works perfectly because Elle is a college senior at the beginning of the film, meaning the character is also in her early 20s.\n\n**What would you like to see in Reese Witherspoon's _Legally Blonde_ TV show? Let us know on Facebook, and check out the latest news on Reese's Big Little Lies season 3!**\n\n_This post has been updated._",
