The Legally Blonde prequel Elle will arrive on July 1 on Prime Video. What’s more, the Hello Sunshine and Amazon MGM Studios’ coming-of-age series earns early Season Two renewal ahead of debut.

What do we know about Elle and who stars

From the date and renewal announcement, we learn season one, 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. We have no more details than that, but with months before debut, we expect more, including trailers.

We do have comments from Reece Witherspoon who starred in the films and is one of the executive producers:

“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.”

There’s more in the press release linked above. The cast includes Lexi Minetree as Elle Woods, June Diane Raphael as Elle’s mother Eva, and Tom Everett Scott as her father Wyatt, alongside Gabrielle Policano, Jacob Moskovitz, Chandler Kinney, and Zac Looker. Recurring cast members include Jessica Belkin, Logan Shroyer, Amy Pietz, Matt Ober, Chloe Wepper, David Burtka, Brad Harder, Kayla Maisonet, Lisa Yamada, and James Van Der Beek.

As ever, we’ll bring more news as we find it.
