Will Reese Witherspoon Reprise Her Role for the 'Legally Blonde' Series?
Bend and snap for joy! A Legally Blonde spinoff series is in development, Parade has confirmed.
The show is being written by Gossip Girl creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, who are executive producing the series via Fake Empire, along with Elle Woods herself, Reese Witherspoon. Lauren Neustadter via Hello Sunshine and Marc Platt are also executive producing the project.
Legally Blonde, which was based on Amanda Brown's novel of the same name, was released in 2001. The hit movie went on to spawn a sequel, 2003's Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, as well as 2009's direct-to-DVD movie Legally Blondes and a Broadway production. Witherspoon confirmed back in 2018 that a third Legally Blonde film was in the works.
Deadline, who was first to report the news of the spinoff series, reported in 2023 that Legally Blonde was among the titles being eyed for film and/or TV development following Amazon’s acquisition of MGM. Looks like they're going to show us just "how valuable Elle Woods can be!"
