Reese Witherspoon knows a good opportunity when she sees one. The woman who gave us Elle Woods, a character that turned pink power suits into a state of mind, is back at it again! This time, she’s rewinding the clock.
Witherspoon, who has spent years championing stories about strong, brilliant women, saw a chance to bring back one of the most beloved heroines of the early 2000s. Elle Woods is more than just a fashion-forward law genius, she’s an icon of ambition wrapped in a pink bow.

Meanwhile,Reese Witherspoonwas taking notes. In her interview with Jimmy Fallon onThe Tonight Show, she spoke about her inspiration and her ideas for the prequel. There, she said,
I saw that Wednesday Addams show and I was like, “Oh she was in high school,” I loved it. I watched every episode. I thought it was amazing. And I was like, “We should do Elle Woods in high school,” because I wanted to see who she was before college, before law school. I started having all these ideas, and these amazing ideas came up with a great pitch. And now Amazon is making the show, it’s called “Elle.”
She saw howone of Netflix’s most watched shows,Wednesday, blended nostalgia with fresh storytelling and realized Elle Woods deserved the same glow-up.Legally Blondefans have been obsessed with Elle’s world since the film’s debut in 2001.
A prequel exploring her high school years, before the courtroom showdowns and iconic bend-and-snaps, feels like the perfect way to reintroduce her to new and old fans alike.
What to Expect from Amazon’s Elle
So, what will young Elle be up to in this new series? While details are inadequate, we can bet on a few things, plenty of pink, a heaping dose of ambition and, of course, some early courtroom-worthy sass.
UnlikeWednesday, which leaned into the gothic and mysterious tone, Elle’s prequel will likely be bubbly, witty, and full of feel-good energy just like Wednesday’s roommate Enid.
But just likeWednesday,Ellewill give us a deeper look at what made our favorite blonde powerhouse into the Elle Woods we know and love. With Witherspoon as the executive producer, we can be sure this series will bring the perfect mix of humor, heart, and high heels.
