'Legally Blonde' Prequel Series 'Elle' Sets Premiere Date & Announces Season 2 Renewal

The Legally Blonde prequel series is coming soon and we already know that a season two will happen!

Prime Video just announced that Elle will debut on July 1, 2026 and a second season has been ordered by the streaming service.

Lexi Minetree steps into the role of Elle Woods, originally played by Reese Witherspoon in the film franchise. She returns as an executive producer of the series.

In a new statement, Reese said, “Twenty-five years after the world met Elle Woods for the first time, it’s a dream come true to share the story of how she became the unstoppable force we all fell in love with. Discovering Lexi Minetree and watching her step into Elle’s fabulous shoes has been one of the most gratifying experiences of my career. I think our series’ themes of kindness, authenticity, and believing in yourself will resonate deeply with fans of the original films and new audiences alike. Working with our incredible Hello Sunshine team, Amazon and our visionary writers and directors to bring Elle’s high school journey to life has been a tremendous joy. I can’t wait to share season one with the world and start rolling cameras on season two.”

In Season One, Elle 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.
