Elle shakes up Seattle in trailer for 'Legally Blonde' prequel
On Tuesday, Prime Video unveiled the trailer for Elle, a Legally Blonde prequel series starring Lexi Minetree as a young Elle Woods navigating life in Seattle.
Set in 1995, the series follows Elle after moving from Bel-Air to Seattle, arriving 25 years after Reese Witherspoon debuted the character in the 2001 film Legally Blonde.
Executive producer Witherspoon leads the project with creator Laura Kittrell. The cast includes June Diane Raphael as mother Eva, Tom Everett Scott as father Wyatt, and Chandler Kinney.
All eight episodes premiere on July 1 on the platform. Footage shows the protagonist adjusting to a new high school environment where her pink attire stands out against muted colors.
The streamer renewed the series for a second season in January, with production expected to begin this spring.
