Reese Witherspoon developing Legally Blonde TV series spinoff – 23 years after starring as Harvard law student Elle Woods

After three films and a musical, Reese Witherspoon is now developing a television series inspired by the popular Legally Blonde films.

Deadline reports that Witherspoon, 48, is working on a Legally Blonde spinoff TV series with the help of her production company Hello Sunshine.

The series is reportedly already in development at Amazon MGM Studios.

Former Gossip Girl showrunners Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are writing and producing one of the spinoff branches, but plot details are still unknown.

Progress has already been made in the development of the Schwartz-Savage project.

Amazon and Hello Sunshine are also considering a second Legally Blonde spinoff series.

This particular effort, however, is in “preliminary idea stages,” the outlet writes.

The original 2001 film, Legally Blonde, starred Reese as Elle Woods, a former sorority girl who enrolls in Harvard Law School to get back together with her ex-boyfriend.

It led to a big-screen sequel, a straight-to-DVD movie, and a Broadway musical. A third film written by Mindy Kaling is also in the works.

Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde followed Elle, a recent Harvard graduate, defending animal rights in Congress.

Legally Blondes, a direct-to-DVD movie, follows the adventures of Elle’s twin cousins ​​who move from England to California.

The original comedy film completely transformed Reese’s life.

“I was in England filming The Importance of Being Earnest when Legally Blonde premiered in the United States. When I returned home my life had changed forever,” he said on The Graham Norton Show in 2019.

Reese celebrated the film’s 20th anniversary on Instagram in 2021, calling Elle “the role of a lifetime.”

‘OMG guys… #LegallyBlonde premiered 20 years ago TODAY! “Time flies when you’re busy using legal jargon in your daily life,” he posted on Instagram.

“But truly… playing Elle Woods was the role of a lifetime and I feel so honored to have been a part of sharing her story with all of you.”

‘Every meme, graduation cap, musical number, Halloween costume, and bend & snap has brought me so much JOY over these past two decades! I wonder…what will Elle do next?
