RAMROD 104,125 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Legally Blonde has become the first big MGM title to spawn a TV series for Prime Video. The Amazon streamer has ordered Elle, a Legally Blonde prequel series. It hails from the film franchise’s star Reese Witherspoon and her Hello Sunshine banner, part of Candle Media. The project is being unveiled at Prime Video’s inaugural upfront presentation today. Created by Laura Kittrell (High School, Insecure), who will serve as showrunner, 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. The series is set years before the events in the first movie, which kicked off as Elle Woods (Witherspoon) graduated from college and headed to Harvard Law to pursue a legal career. As Deadline reported exclusively last month, there have been two Legally Blonde series in the works at Amazon MGM Studios from Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine. The other is a spinoff written and executive produced by theGossip Girl duo of Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. Kittrell executive produces with Hello Sunshine’s Witherspoon, Lauren Neustadter and Lauren Kisilevsky as well the Legally Blonde movie franchise producer Marc Platt. Elle is produced by Hello Sunshine and Amazon MGM Studios. As Deadline reported a year ago, Legally Blonde was among a dozen or so titles from the MGM library that were initially identified for film and/or TV development following Amazon’s acquisition of the venerable Hollywood studio. Teaming up with Witherspoon to exploit the IP made sense given how closely she is associated with the franchise . https://deadline.com/2024/05/legally-blonde-prequel-series-elle-amazon-reese-witherspoon-hello-sunshine-1235914815/amp/ (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ✧*:･ﾟ 𝘞𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 17 (*´艸｀*) ♡♡♡ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
