After two hit movies and a Broadway run, Elle Woods is now coming for television.
Variety reports that Prime Video is currently working on a TV spin-off of the 2001 hit movie Legally Blonde. Reese Witherspoon, who played Elle, is set to executive produce the series. Witherspoon has built up quite the resume as an exec producer on TV shows, including Big Little Lies, Little Fires Everywhere and The Morning Show. She’ll also be working writers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, who created Gossip Girl and The OC.
No word yet on whether Witherspoon is returning to her pink roots or simply playing a small side role. Witherspoon did star in the movie sequel Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde but only served as a producer for the third direct-to-video film Legally Blondes. While the sequels were both duds, the 2007 Broadway stage musical was a hit, receiving numerous Tony nominations.
